Work Meetings Recycling Workers Garbage Mountain Editorial Photo

Philippines, island Luzon, City Baguio: workers, men and women, young and old, who at the garbage dump live and work run in the middle of the waste a meeting on prices, which pay middlemen for recyclable items such as cans, glass, plastic bottles, paper and cardboard. The Filipinos will prevent them from being played in the informal economic sector against each other and the prices are kept artificially low. These people, living in extreme poverty, get income, existence, from the dirt of others. The air is blue with smoke, because the waste mountain is available day and night on fire. Unhealthy work circumstances. The smell is enormous and swarming with flies.
