We are talking about more than brown paper bags when you have a hurricane blast through the area. I don't pretend to understand the whole concept, but if we open our eyes, you can obviously see massive amounts litter that is well beyond the scope of our contracted trash and garbage service. We should recognize that companies like Jacobs have a defined scope that they perform. You cannot expect them to get rid of all this trash.
So, the job needs to be performed and paid for by other entities. There has to be money to pay for this service and we look to towns, county, state and Federal have to manage the program. You are not going to see FEMA, Florida State trucks etc doing the work. It needs to be contracted out to private contractors. In addition, there needs to be a drop off and disposal areas.
None of the above happens overnight.
