  • Hoards of waste pickers sifting through waste materials at Smokey Mountain Rubbish dump. RUBBISH DUMP RECYCLING. The statistics show that up to 90% of Aluminum cans, plastic bottles, cardboard and plastic bags are recycled in Cambodia..South East Asia, Cambodia, Phnom Penh. Smokey Mountain, Steung Mean Chey, is Phnom Penh's municipal rubbish dump. Thousands work there, some 600 minors and 2000 adults, recycling the city's rubbish, dumped there by garbage trucks every day. The dump is notorious as many very young children work there. People eat and sleep overnight in the rubbish and fumes, under plastic tarpaulins or in the open air. They work 24 hours a day, like miners, with headlamps at night, collecting plastic, metals, wood, cloth & paper, which they sort and clean, weigh and sell, to be carried away for recycling. A day's work typically brings less than a dollar per person. One and a half to two dollars per day per family. The overpowering, acrid odour of grey smokey fumes blows across the dump, from which the place gets its name 'Smokey Mountain'. It can be smelt miles away. The shantytowns and squats, the recycling worker's homes butt onto or are inside the dump itself. There is no running water, sanitation and many are ill. Children often work with friends or relatives. Religious and ngo's help some children, but this is often resisted by families who need the extra income they generate.///Workers recycling fresh rubbish as it is dumped by the trucks. Workers have to collectively pay 50 cents $US, the driver abnd security, for this priviledge

Smokey Mountain, Steung Mean Chey, is Phnom Penh's municipal rubbish dump. Thousands work there, some 600 minors and 2000 adults, recycling the city's rubbish, dumped there by garbage trucks every day. The dump is notorious as many very young children work there. People eat and sleep overnight in the rubbish and fumes, under plastic tarpaulins or in the open air. They work 24 hours a day, like miners, with headlamps at night, collecting plastic, metals, wood, cloth & paper, which they sort and clean, weigh and sell, to be carried away for recycling. A day's work typically brings less than a dollar per person. One and a half to two dollars per day per family. The overpowering, acrid odour of grey smokey fumes blows across the dump, from which the place gets its name 'Smokey Mountain'. It can be smelt miles away. The shantytowns and squats, the recycling worker's homes butt onto or are inside the dump itself. There is no running water, sanitation and many are ill. Children often work with friends or relatives. Religious and ngo's help some children, but this is often resisted by families who need the extra income they generate.///Using fire to separate metal from plastic and rubber, a recycling worker takes advantage of the permanently burning rubbish.

  • Workers at sunset on Smokey Mountain...RUBBISH DUMP RECYCLING. South East Asia, Cambodia, Phnom Penh. Smokey Mountain, Steung Mean Chey, is Phnom Penh's municipal rubbish dump. Thousands work there, some 600 minors and 2000 adults, recycling the city's rubbish, dumped there by garbage trucks every day. The dump is notorious as many very young children work there. People eat and sleep overnight in the rubbish and fumes, under plastic tarpaulins or in the open air. They work 24 hours a day, like miners, with headlamps at night, collecting plastic, metals, wood, cloth & paper, which they sort and clean, weigh and sell, to be carried away for recycling. A day's work typically brings less than a dollar per person. One and a half to two dollars per day per family. The overpowering, acrid odour of grey smokey fumes blows across the dump, from which the place gets its name 'Smokey Mountain'. It can be smelt miles away. The shantytowns and squats, the recycling worker's homes butt onto or are inside the dump itself. There is no running water, sanitation and many are ill. Children often work with friends or relatives. Religious and ngo's help some children, but this is often resisted by families who need the extra income they generate.///Workers, silhouetted against the setting sun, recycling at sunset in Smokey Mounatin rubbish dump
