Chris, you and I know very well this is not the case here... This is not Haiti...

While this is true for many Dominican region, it is not the case in Las Terrenas, as Europeans are providing Dominicans with trashcans (drums), everywhere, in the village and around... It doesn't change anything in the loitering behaviour...

Chris, I understand your statement. In fact, I was expecting such when I wrote my bad taste comment. I felt like telling it like it is, since the title of the thread is "waste, waste, waste"... I certainly don't mean to hurt anyone, but sometimes, one has to speak his mind, regardless of PR's... I am by no means "Mr.Clean", but I try my best to improve a bit everyday... Sorry to be so frank, no offense... I stand up to my comment.

As I'm sure you know Dominicans are some of the cleanest people probably on earth when it refers to their body, their hair, their nails, their house, their car, etc...in essence what they consider their own space.
That is a clever observation, Suarezn !
I couldn't have said it better !
Now, why is it that they are so "clean" for their shirts, their shoes & their jeepeta, but so dirty when it comes to everything else ? Because, as a matter of fact, it is their space too...
