Scavenging For Survival in The most Dangerous Dumpsite in Nairobi, Kenya🇰🇪

#africa #kenya #rashideastlando#2024
Dandora landfill, which covers approximately 30 acres, is the destination of about 2000 tonnes of solid waste generated daily by Nairobi, which has a population of about 6.5 million people.Despite being declared completely full in 1996, dumping continues on the landfill. One of the reasons that it continues to operate is that people make money from the waste.Described as a “perilous recycling economy”, the landfill puts food on the tables of around 10,000 families. Men, women and children pick through waste from trucks that arrive in the dump. They are looking for plastic, food, clothes, paper and bottles that they can sell for much-needed income. Scavenging on the dump is done manually with no protection gear and equipment, thus exposing the dumpsite workers to serious health complications.
