INDONESIA TRASH PICKERS

epa03681866 A picture made available on 30 April 2013 shows Indonesian scavengers collecting recyclable plastics at Bantar Gebang garbage dump in Bekasi, West Java province, Indonesia, 29 March 2013. More than 6,000 people, including women, men, children and the elderly work as scavengers at the Bantar Gebang landfill, where 6,000 tonnes of garbage, from household waste to car parts, are dumped daily. Many of the scavengers are migrants who had left their hometowns to.seek better life. The landfill was built in 1986 by the Jakarta government ostensibly to be used as a site for household organic waste. But in practice, metal, plastic and other non-organic trash are also dumped there. EPA/MAST IRHAM
