# Long description

There are four photographs in Figure 5, which all describe different aspects of the informal waste tip described in the text. (a) Shows a medium sized dump-truck is tipping a load of rubbish down the hillside in a small gap in the trees. (b) Is a close-up of the waste in the tip, which shows items such as chopsticks, shoes, CDs, food packaging, plastic bags, bottles, and containers, as well as shampoo bottles. (c) Shows a small herd of cattle eating waste, and possibly small tufts of grass, at the edge of the tip; there is a copious amount of plastics which have built-up against the scrub trees and shrubs. The final picture (d) shows the full expanse of the waste tip from the view of the photographer looking up the hill which rises some 200–500 meters. There is a young lady apparently working on the tip emptying bags, or looking for items of value; her baby sits nearby waiting, wrapped warmly in a small blanket.
