The Puerto Rico Trash Problem: A Call for Change in Waste Management
SureThe Increasing Problem of Waste
Puerto Rico is not a country to take any joke regarding waste management. The island generates around 1.3 billion pounds of trash each year. Sadly, nearly 85% of its landfills are at saturation levels. This creates a terrible state of affairs.
