El Basurero is the garbage collector in Spanish. My first encounter with a basurereo was a few days ago. The doorbell rang. I wasn't sure what to do, so I called to Señora Mari Carmen to tell her that someone was at the door. She came running by frantically with a few bags of garbage in her hands shouting es la basura and going out the door. Out of curiosity, I went to the window looking for a big dumpster truck. What I found was a man with two garbage cans on wheels accepting garbage from Mari Carmen and her neighbors (see picture to the left). Just this morning, the door buzzer rang again. I just sat there and waited for Mari Carmen to come running by again with garbage bags, but instead she went to the window and threw the bags down to him.
