Waste Management

Houses in Ferrier have a small area around them called a lakou (yard) which is pretty much dirt but they take pride in their dirt. Every morning the women are up early painstakingly sweeping their dirt and any trash is swept into the middle or edge of the road. Later in the day the piles of trash are set on fire...problem solved. The big drawback is when their is plastic in the pile the smell is awful. Additional waste management involves digging a deep hole in your back lakou for human waste and trash. Not exactly sure how that is managed and not everyone does that; however, definitely not a good idea to go wandering thru the back lakou at night.
Love to hear your comments.

Love and joy, Barbara
