A man shoveled garbage on the side of the road in Port Arthur, Texas, on January 27, after a rainstorm caused the streets to flood and swept debris into the drainage system.
The young boy filming this video can be heard calling on the town of Port Arthur to pick up the trash. “It’s been a hassle every time it rains,” he says. “Our ditch gets clogged and it gets this bad out here.”
“And that’s not even our trash,” he adds.
In a Facebook post, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said there was flooding in multiple areas of Port Arthur, and warned drivers to stay off the roads to prevent water from entering homes.
“Many of these homes still have debris in front of their house and in their ditches due to Hurricane Harvey,” the Sheriff’s office added.
