An official from Valencia mayor came around and told my wife and all our neighbours that from now on our garbage which used to be collected on Monday morning will no longer be collected, this applies to the whole Valencia area. The reason he gave was that a foreigner (trouble making foreigner) bought some property around 200mt from the rubbish tip then built a house then complained about the smell. If this is truly the reason then this foreigner must have some clout (that means friends in high places) When i heard this i asked the messenger what do we do with our garbage, do we have to take it somewhere, blank stare from him, he is only the messenger not the provider of solutions. I then said to him does that mean we can stop paying property tax, same blank stare. I then said, do you realize that some people but not US will just start dumping garbage wherever it's convenient for them, blank again.
