surches for recyclable material in the middle of tons of waste
One young resident of the Anlong Pi rubbish dumps walks in the
middle of tons of waste while holding her favorite an only toy, a
teddy bear that she found while digging in the rubbish. More than
one hundred children work every day in Along Pi; toys are an very
expencive luxurie that they cannot afford.

despite help provided by local Oranizations to the inhabitants of
Anlong Pi . Education levels are very low, with only few of the
workers knowing how to read and to write.
A group of women and children wait near one of the rubbish
trucks that will deposite the waste from Siem Reap.
A group of workers starts their search for recyclable material
directly from the rubbish truck.
A group of workers work in cirkles collecting recylable material
from a pile of waste. During their search they form close circles
where, using their pickaxes, they dig through the piles of waste
left moments before by the local trash collection company, Gaea.
The most valuable items are collected in the first few minutes, a
dangerous process as people use picks in close poximity to each
other.
Of the 300 people working in the Along Pi dump, more than 100
are children
The considerable deterioration of the quality of the air is just
one of several new factors that have gradually made live in this
place unsuitable for any human being.
The resulting toxic products are washed by rain water ,
contaminating soil and groundwater, or are emitted into the
atmoshpere.
One of the residents carries a full bag of recyclable material
across the burning waste for selling. At the end of every day,
workers of the landfill separate the different recyclable item
collected and sell them to buyers of recyclable products.
One of the residents of the Along Pi rubbish dump keeps working
at night time with the help of a head torch. Residents suffer from
the biggest health problems due to the landfills, as they
continually breathe air composed of methane gas
Only the fulltime residents of the Along Pi rubbish dump working
at night time in total darkness while waste is being burnt.
wo of the residents prepare their dinner. Meat is rare in the
daily meals; often small kids hunt mice using slingshots, and for
special occasions, the residents of the landfill buy dogs from the
nearest villages for prices under 10 dollars.Dog meat is really
appreciated in some areas of Southeast Asia and in the Along Pi
dump, dog meat is used to celebrate special occasions.
Two of the women living in the Along Pi landfill near the world
famous temples of Angkor play with some leaves at the end of their
daily work.Only a few families live permanently in the dump and
during the night, conversation often revolve around a live that
they dream about but that them know they will never have.
