Boys haul reclaimed plastic down from the top of the Dhapa dumping ground (landfill) to take it to nearby processing facilities, Dhapa, Kolkata, India. It is a cliche to feel sorry for people that work in dumps like this but in this case it's quite misplaced. They aren't unhappy and the work isn't that bad. Dumps like this don't even smell.
