The municipal rubbish tip in Bluefields is a thriving part of the local community. Women and children scavenge daily for any items of use or value to resale, with men of the family completely out of the picture. Truckloads appear up to 20 times a day and the drivers regularly take advantage of the young girls working there for a going rate. The stench of the burning rubbish is impossible to ignore in this apocalyptic site.
