(photo below: business men walking through the protester barricades. since protests are an everyday occurrence near kristina's office (presidents office) there are barricades all over incase the demonstration gets out of hand.)

i'm sorry...but i highly doubt they do. there are city workers that sweep up the streets every day, but they just throw it away.

i could NOT imagine people in the U.S. throwing little pieces of paper, purposely, on the street to advertise a message or cause.

there isn't an official recycling effort in buenos aires. people just don't recycle...at all.

instead there are cartoneros (garbage pickers) who go through the trash every night looking for items to recycle (cardboard, glass, plastic, newspapers) to make a little cash. it's sad to see.
