Recycling

We dropped off the recycling we've been collecting to a guy named Don Kiko in a neighboring "village". Always an adventure. So far we've earned about $11 that we're donating to a drug and alcohol rehab center. Don Kiko told us we should sift through the local dump and bring him more plastic bottles (at 1 peso/kilogram, equal to 5 American cents per pound). I respectfully said we weren't that interested in hanging out at the dump and that and we'd probably just stick to collecting recycling stuff from our house and our Club 121 kids' houses, probably whatever we come across in the streets too. Don Kiko is a little different from the recycling drop-off for the City of Independence, MO that we were accustomed to in the U.S. But it works. He's closeby...and colorful.
