ULarry Kingsella nendodakazi yakhe uBelen bashaya umugqa wokuqala ngoMgqibelo ekuseni bapaka emotweni yabo, belungiselela ukwenza amabhayisikili ezingane emphakathini.
“Lesi yisikhathi sethu esisithandayo sonyaka,” kusho uLarry Kingsella. “Selokhu basungulwa, lokhu bekulokhu kuyisiko emndenini wethu,”
Sekuyiminyaka eminingi i-Waste Connections i-oda futhi ihlanganisa amabhayisikili ezingane eziswele ngesikhathi samaholide. Ngokuvamile, kuba “nosuku lokwakha”, oluhlanganisa bonke abakhi abazithandelayo abahlangana endaweni eyodwa. Lapho, bahlanganisa amabhayisikili ndawonye.
UKisella uthe: “Kufana nokuhlangana komndeni eClark County lapho sonke singahlangana khona ngaphansi kophahla olulodwa.”
Izisebenzi zokuzithandela zacelwa ukuba zithathe inani lamabhayisikili azo bese ziwayisa emakhaya ukuze akhiwe esikhundleni sokuwakha ndawonye.
Noma kunjalo, i-Waste Connections iye ephathini. Kukhona i-DJ enomculo kaKhisimusi, uSanta Claus naye uyafika, kanye nokudla okulula kanye nekhofi njengoba ama-SUV, izimoto namaloli eza ezolanda amabhayisikili awo.
“Ngiyayithanda le mbono. Muhle kakhulu. Sizothola ukudla, ikhofi, futhi bazokwenza kube yinto yemikhosi ngangokunokwenzeka.” kusho uKingsra. “I-Waste Connections yenze umsebenzi omuhle kakhulu kulokhu.”
Umndeni wakwaKingsella ulanda amabhayisikili ayisithupha, futhi wonke umndeni kulindeleke ukuthi usize ekuhlanganiseni la mabhayisikili.
Izimoto ezingaphezu kweshumi nambili zafika emgqeni, zilinde ukufaka amabhayisikili ezikhwameni noma ezinqoleni. Lokho kwakusehoreni lokuqala kuphela. Ukulethwa kwebhayisikili ekuqaleni kwakuhlelwe ukuthi kuthathe amahora amathathu.
Konke kwaqala ngombono kaScott Campbell ongasekho, umholi wezakhamuzi kanye nesisebenzi senhlangano ethi “Waste Connection”.
“Kungase kube namabhayisikili ayi-100 ekuqaleni, noma ngaphansi kwayi-100,” kusho uCyndi Holloway, umqondisi wezindaba zomphakathi we-Waste Connections. “Kwaqala egumbini lethu lokuhlangana, senza amabhayisikili, futhi sithola izingane ezaziwadinga. Kwakuwumsebenzi omncane ekuqaleni.”
UHolloway uthe ngokuphela kwentwasahlobo: “Awekho amabhayisikili eMelika.”
NgoJulayi, i-Waste Connections yaqala uku-oda amabhayisikili. UHolloway uthe ezindizeni ezingu-600 ezi-odwe kulo nyaka, okwamanje zinama-350.
Lezo ezingaba ngu-350 zasatshalaliswa kubakhi ngoMgqibelo. Ezinye ezingamakhulu ambalwa zizofika emasontweni nasezinyangeni ezizayo. UHolloway uthe zizohlanganiswa futhi zilethwe.
UGary Morrison no-Adam Monfort nabo bakhona. UMorrison ungumphathi jikelele wenkampani yokulungisa impahla ye-BELFOR. Baselolini yenkampani. Kulindeleke ukuthi bathathe amabhayisikili afinyelela kwangu-20. Izisebenzi zabo kanye namalungu omndeni nabo bahlanganyele ekuhlanganisweni kwebhayisikili.
“Sifuna ukwenza umehluko emphakathini,” kusho uMorrison. “Sinamandla okwenza lokhu.”
UTerry Hurd waseRidgefield uyilungu elisha kulo nyaka. Unikeze usizo eRidgefield Lions Club futhi watshelwa ukuthi badinga abantu abazolanda amabhayisikili.
Uthe: “Ngineloli, futhi ngiyajabula kakhulu ukusiza.” Waveza ukuthi wenza konke okusemandleni akhe ukuze azinikele.
