Rubbish - Cusco style

A triangle being clanged continuously is an important signal in Cusco life. It means that the rubbish truck is coming down the street - take your rubbish out.

Late this afternoon, we heard the call and all grabbed a a couple of bags - we had a bit after moving clean up. So we, along with lots of other neighbours rush out to the truck with our bags and toss them into the truck.

Well it works - and it's better than the other system used by some - leave your bags of rubbish out on the footpath where the street dogs scatter the rubbish in search of food!!!
