      "Tenemos dos opciones, una es que cuando pase el camión de la basura las personas depositen en las alcancillas que andarán en el camión una cuota voluntaria y la otra opción es que elijan a una persona en su barrio que recoja el dinero y cuando pase el camión por el barrio lo entreguen a los muchachos, así juntos vamos a evitar acumulación de basura en nuestras casas y epidemias", añadió Sol Gutiérrez.
