Thats Garbage!

Waste management in the capital city is handled by dumping garbage into designated bins which are cleaned out regularly by city authorities. As you can see in the picture that sometimes the area around the bin is more populated then the actual bin itself. One can regularly observe people on bikes who manually scan the grabage in the bins for recylable scrap. ( there is no recycling at the consumer level). And yes as you see in the picture, the crows like these bins a lot So do stray dogs, cats and random cows.

Reportedly, the garbage goes into a nearby landfill. I passed by that landfill a few times back in the day. I doubt that there is a barrier at the bottom of the landfill which checks the flow of hazerdous lechate into the subsurface groundater. yeah you guessed right. Thats not good for the people who might drink/pump that water.
