#192: Garbage

Today I had an opportunity to see where all the waste from Bishkek ends up. It is not a pleasant scene. The waste dump is located 15 km outside Bishkek and covers an area of 22 hectares.
In addition, there are squatters who built small mud houses illegally across from the waste dump. The wind was blowing the smoke from burning plastic, food, and other unknown waste towards the neighborhood of squatters.
This lady was sorting and collecting wood .
Kyrgyzstan gotta do something about sorting and recycling garbage

Of course they should do something about recycling garbage. In fact, all Central Asian countries should think about it.
You report all these news but do you tell people about it except you post them online? Do you discuss these issues with people who have no access to the internet?
