Quote:“Falta más disciplina en donde va la basura. Los basureros tienen colores y
cada color significa diferente tipo de material. Revuelven todo, hace poco tuve un
accidente por lo mismo porque había un vidrio en donde no debería. Me cocieron ya
que estaba un material fuera de lugar. En una cosa que podríamos mejorar es que
abajo en los baños hay botes de basura, y acá arriba no y eso provoca que se inunden
los baños.”
