Trashy Picture

Micah snapped this picture of one of the trash piles created as a result of the national cleanup day. This one has been collected by the government, as are most of the ones in the downtown area. There are still may piles yet uncollected in the surrounding areas of Freetown.

In jest and protest, residents often pile trash in the middle of an intersection or road in such a way to make passing by car difficult, if not impossible. This picture is taken near Kroo Bay, in the downtown area of Freetown. The cleanup day near where I live was not this dramatic, as the population is less poor and densely situationed. There was no pile of trash outside our house; it is relatively clean every day.
