Trash race

Route 312. Trash recollects in the streets of La Paz, Bolivia. While Route 66 is a La Paz underground touristic known cocaine bar, Route 312 is just another of so many trash trucks way to recollect garbage. This one go through a residential La Paz neighborhood, called Achumani, in the south zone of the city. In this neighborhood, garbage is well packed in small supermarket plastic bags, put in the streets just some hours before truck comes, to avoid dogs to eat from it and expand trash in all the streets, as in all the rest of the city.

But Route 312 also go to other more poor La Paz places, where garbage is huge. 

La Paz grows too quick and there is no way for the moment to get a global solution in the environment trouble.
