7 year old Jasmine stands among the refuse where she works on the Kajla rubbish dump. It is one of three landfill sites in this city of twelve million people. Around 5,000 tonnes of garbage are dumped here each day and over a thousand people work among the rubbish, sorting through the waste and collecting items to sell to retailers for recycling.
