It looks like some people haven't gotten the memo as it pertains to what you can drop off at the recycling center on McPherson Ave.
The Laredo Sun reports that people are driving up to the place after hours and leaving things like tires, paint containers, and other assorted trash on the curb.
I'm going to give these people the benefit of the doubt -- perhaps they don't know what is acceptable at this location. I will, however, take issue with the City of Laredo for not having a centralized location for dropping off tires and other trash. The picture definitely highlights the need for expanding recycling facilities.

At least they are in a visible spot where the recycling center can do something about them. What bothers me is the people who dump all over the city. I just went to LAPS and the street next to it was full of old tires and bags of trash. Gente cochina!
I agree, and the recycling center should put large signs on the fence with that ghost-buster "NO" symbol for common items they do not accept.
But I agree with the others, at least they're making an effort. I just realized the other day that I was including some incorrect plastics in my blue recycling bag - oops.
Exactly!!!
Instead of handing these people a fine, they should be thinking about what the city is doing wrong.
At least they're taking them somewhere that *might* do something with them, instead of leaving them in my back yard (or my neighbors' yards). grrrrrrrr
Put the tires in industrial type bags then in the daily trash container the city will pick it up. Problem soled!
