    • @blackacresofthegambia
      @blackacresofthegambia  5 років тому +3

      We've notice several options. Our method is to haul it to the dumpsite every 3-4 months. Other options are have the garbage truck come pick up, regularly. Burn the trash. We dont like the option of dumping trash at madeup sites. A lot of locals use this option.

      @@blackacresofthegambia I've been wondering about that for a while -- thank you for answering my question. If it's not too expensive, I think I'd rather have the truck come pick it up -- it would probably just be me and my mom and I really don't see 2 little old ladies hauling garbage around the countryside lol! Thanks again -- love your channel and love that music at the beginning of your videos!

    I notice that you have a lot of books. How is the heat treating them being that they were transferred from the US to a completely different type of heat?
    Here in England, some people pay their gas/electricity just the way you currently pay in Gambia. Over here we call that system Pay As You Go: meaning you only pay for what you use.

    I love y'all videos... The background music you use on your videos makes sure you own it because UA-cam will pay whoever owns the music before they pay you as the video creator.... Meaning as your channel grows copyright could be taking up to forty-five to fifty percent of your video creative as you produce these...maybe the best thing is to go online and purchase music Or beats so you can have the full copyright money come to yo pockets ... Purchasing music these days is fairly cheap.peace love and soul✊🏾
