Buried in Garbage

"The Payatas Dumpsite in Quezon City is the main terminal for the solid waste collected in the city. The Payatas' forerunner, Smokey Mountains, was notorious. The Payatas reputation became just as bad in connection with the huge landslide in year 2000 when a large number of scavengers were literally buried under the waste."




Remembering that day more or less 7 years ago, shall once again remind us to properly dispose of our trash.




















The transformation of this green field into a mountain of garbage, proves that there is still a possibility of this happening again.
