Trash Service



It's not a beautiful sunny beach, but I wanted to show a bit more of the "daily life" side of the islands.  The VI's don't have normal garbage collection like you may be used to - so people take their garbage, load it into the car (possibly why Wranglers are so popular) and drive to the nearest dumpster like the one above, and toss it in.  Garbage trucks here are really flat bed tractor trailer-esque vehicles that come around and pick up the entire dumpster and replace it with an empty one.  Getting caught behind one of these on your way around the island can prove frustrating because of the curvy and near vertical roads all around.
