Video staged by Mayor Xexéu Marcel uses humor to criticize those who abandon waste in inappropriate places and guides Prata residents to dispose of recyclables, electronics, and debris at the Ecopoint inaugurated in 2024
It happened last year, but it still resonates. The mayor of Prata, Xexéu Marcel (PP), drew attention on social media by posting a video against the irregular disposal of waste in the municipality of Triângulo Mineiro. In the staged recording, a sign states that only “self-confessed cuckold” dumps waste there, while the population is advised to use the municipal Ecopoint.
Mayor of Prata bets on humor to raise awareness
In the video posted on Instagram, a man appears wearing a helmet with horns while disposing of trash in an inappropriate area. Then, Xexéu Marcel enters the scene and reinforces the message displayed on the sign.
The mayor states that there is no justification for abandoning waste at that point, as the city has a specific structure to receive different types of materials.

The structure offers residents an appropriate place for disposal, preventing these materials from being abandoned on streets, lots, or other unsuitable areas.
Campaign highlights respect for the community
