Over a million people earn a living in India by picking through 62 million tonnes of rubbish yearly.
In New Delhi's Bhalaswa landfill, waste pickers brave extreme heat, toxic gases, and heavy loads daily to earn a meager income. Their work, essential for survival, is fraught with health risks and minimal safety measures, highlighting the harsh realities of informal waste management in urban India.
