'The Recyclers of Port-Au-Prince' is an image that is emblematic of man's current struggle in dealing with the hundreds of millions of tons of waste created annually. The men in the image live in the vast un-regulated waste dump on the outskirts of Haiti's capital, Port-Au-Prince. Thousands of these 're-cyclers' pick through everything from discarded electronic goods to disease-ridden medical waste. On a good day, these men will earn $12-15 a day collecting then re-selling plastics, aluminum and other re-generateable products. Many of the dump inhabitants live in crude tin shacks that line the smokey landscape.
