Landfills — the mere mention of the word reeks of our collective inability to manage our waste in a better way. These ignored mounds of waste are the only available solution to the endless generation of waste in our metropolitan cities.
The only people interested in the landfills are the underprivileged ragpickers who wake up before the Sun has risen and eagerly browse the trash, looking for something that could be sold at a processing plant for a few pennies.
A cut or a bruise by sharp objects or metallic pieces in the landfill could invite a host of troubles for the ragpickers but that doesn't deter them from earning their livelihood.
