garbage pigs

I remember in 2009 when egypt, fearful of swine flu, banned pigs (considered dirty and unholy in islam), but I never realized the implications on garbage collection and removal.

"Suleiman said the party does not have a position on whether pigs should become a cornerstone of waste management again, saying health authorities should be able to decide whether the animals pose a health risk. The government’s trash plan, which includes incentives for companies that excel at collecting garbage, makes no mention of pigs."

this story from the wapo has the details.
