      Not trying to be rude or anything, but you may be missing the point a little. The reason they’re using these is because there’s an oil blockade and they literally don’t have any gas to run their regular trucks. Garbage was piling up everywhere as a result. These people are doing a really good thing for their communities by offering a different solution.

      So, yeah it would probably take a lot more trips or adding more to the fleet to compensate but they really don’t have any other options.
