Here in Chicawgo (and I'm sure many other places) Mexicans go out early
every morning in trucks to collect any recyclabe metal items...they benefit
from it and and it's a good deal.

And talk about "mafia" private - run sanitation, lol, Chicawgo wrote the
book. There are both city and private haulers, the city trucks have THREE
guys, the private haulers (Waste Management IIRC) have ONE...'course
everything in Chicawgo IS "mafia" - "mick mafia"...!!!
