Story of Garbage
Every day we produce garbage.
Little but certainly.
Bit by bit, it builds up.
Even dust, will become a mountain,
when it is piled.
Where will all these go?
The garbage we leave on
our front door.
Gets picked up by these
ladies.
Who carry
them all day
long. On those
heavy carts. Their salary, 60 thousand VND per day.
Until there is no possible
space for more,
they keep collecting and
collecting.
The waste of others,
Our garbage.
With lots of time, effort and cooperation all of this is
collected in a day.
It’s these ladies' job to go through all the garbage and
take what they could sell for recycle.
Lan: 62 years old.
“When I’m lucky,
I earn 100VND a
day.”
Taken to
these shops
and sold.
Cardboards:
3 thousand/kg
Water bottle:
8 thousand/kg
Cans:
300 dong/ can
Everyday,
50 people
come to
sell.
In 3-4 days,
the rooms are
filled up with
all sorts of
garbage.
Cardboard
Cans
Bins
Plastic bags
Bottles
Then it gets
taken to the
South of Ha-
noi.
The trucks
usually leave
early in the
morning at
4am.
So they could
get back
straight to
work that
day.
All the other trash that doesn't get pick
up by the ladies, go on a different car
ride to the North of Hanoi. To a place
called Bac Ninh City.
The trucks go in to this area of the town, drop off all
the garbage in the truck and come back with more.
No entries unless employed but the strong odor coming
from the other side tells it all.
Hundreds
of trucks
every day.
Coming in
and out of
this town.
With loads
of garbage
on them
Translation: The south waste treatment: Soc Son—Hanoi
The green
leaves being
destroyed by
the dust and
pollution the
trucks bring.
Roads being
constructed
for the bumps
created from
the trucks.
All the garage left behind in the
village. Right next to the rice
field
______ 21 years old:
“The wind and the
water and the food all
changes because of
the garbage. I have a
baby in my stomach
and I am worried for
her”
That small effort...
Could change it all.
