(Ed.'s Note: The City of Brownsville would do well to emulate the recycling efforts of the gentleman in the photo above. One of our readers saw him pedaling down Central Blvd. with his cache of aluminum cans, mostly beer cans, after scavenging from dumpsters of the various nightspots and apartment complexes around town.
We have no talent for estimating the weight of the cans he is carrying on his trike, but it's a considerable amount because the cans under the plastic bans appear to have been crushed and we are told he was laboring to pedal down the street.
Wilkinson's Metals say they are paying 50 cents a pound for aluminum cans, so if he has, say 50 pounds, it will mean $25 dollars in his pocket. To some of us that would mean a lot of work for a few bucks, but wealth is relative if that's all you have. You've got to respect this man's efforts to make a buck at this humble task.)

Wow man! Looks like The Grinch! Well, at least he does something to earn his money. Not like huevones on welfare!
Ladies and Gentlemen, our Brownsville Community sales are half of McAllens sales. Listen up class, stop failing. McAllen has half the population Brownsville has, yet their sales are double. I am talking about malls restaurants night clubs retail stores newspapers gasoline sales candy sales clothing sales fines and fees from municipality car sales car wash sales etc....... Please listen, Oliveira lucio no good. County commissioners no good. City commissioners not concentrating on economy. They just concentrate on bike trails mayors personal business and cleaning up what stupid past commissioners have done. Wake up students.we are in 911 mode. This is embarassing for our town. I have talked to scores of McAllen citizens who say Brownsville is dead. Stop electing the same self serving pocket lining politicians. STOP
You seeeeeeeeeee. Ccccoooommmmeeee. Oooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn
Honest man doing honest work.
Boy, he's got the run of all the bike trails in Brownsville. The only problem is that there is no bike trail to Wilkerson's Recycling Plant by all those cantinas. Who would want to ride a bike by there? Como dice Charlie
Clark, "Horale, vatos, como la train?" Set your priorities straight and when we impeach Trump, let's go for 3 at a time to include Martinez and Gowen.
Cesar de Leon for Mayor.
Pero recuerden que la economia de Mcallen se base en las compras/visitas que hacen los residentes de ciudades como Rios Grande City, La Joya, Mission, Alton, Edinburg, Pharr, San Juan, Alamo, Donna, Weslaco, etc etc etc.... ahh y Mty.
No se puede comprar dos ciudades completamente diferentes....
