- Picking through a mountain of trash as high as 165 feet is how thousands of pemulung earn their living near Jakarta, Indonesia. They're at risk of getting injured by giant excavators, shards of glass, and methane gas emitted by the landfill.

How One Of The Largest Landfills In The World Became A Lifeline For Thousands In Indonesia
Why People Risk Their Lives At One Of The Largest Landfills In The World | Risky Business
Puts my entire life into perspective and I am immensely grateful for what I have despite the struggles I face.
I hope that in the future your struggles are resolved or lessened.
Right! U & me both!
@@boohere2 Jeez. Use your initiative.
But find out what size he takes first.
Amen brother
These people are just lazy
Man getting crushed to death and buried in a landslide of rotting trash is definitely among the worst ways someone can go out.
It’s also a truly tragic and grossly unfair way to have to live💔
That end part where he says to rich people, as he knows that will never be him, broke my heart… that’s the ONE thing we all can do to help anyone struggling is to make sure someone is not hungry!
from now on i am going to start putting poison on my trash.
@@jasonvoorhees5640 You're so poor, you can't even afford trash.
Yes, reduce hunger, but provide birth control so they can break the cycle of poverty. Just providing food is cruel as you don't change their situation in any meaningful way.
@@jasonvoorhees5640 nice. Just remember, what goes around comes around. Know that the low-paid workers who pick, process and prepare your food may just decide to poison it!
Its so sad that places like this exist... Straight up destroying our planet... Humans are disgusting 🤢🤢
I can hardly take going to my local dump and getting rid of trash for 10 minutes do to the smell in the summer. I can't imagine what it's like for these poor people. I'm sure after years of it the smell just becomes common place. Documentary's like this really help you appreciate even the small things in your life.
if you are a dumpster laborer in the United States you are earning more than a Highschool Teacher
The smell came in to my house every day but after 5 years, it's getting usual.
My place to Bantar Gebang about 3 or 5 km.
Jakarta need another places or solution for they thrash because Bantar Gebang has been over load.
That’s because you’re weak hahah. Who do you think works landfills in the US? Robots? They don’t wear respirators either… so what’s your point? This is done globally.
Or feel the need to rebel/withdraw from mainstream society.
@@Floodedaquatics it's globally unacceptable.
How people are able to live like this and be grateful for what they have is incredible, really puts other parts of the world in perspective
I'm so poor I have to live off of trash, hey let's have 6 kids. Face palm
@@greengamerguy623 and accuse people of other countries of consuming too much. F that
Well one way this becomes life is because there are no other options. Because they cut hands off here for stealing.
@@zynthesis Call me crazy but if you don’t have 6 kids then maybe you can save up the money to leave that place.
Just because people in one area of the world is suffering shouldn't downplay the situation that people in the other parts of the world are facing. Extreme poverty is everywhere, this is just a documated case for one.
It's humbling to see the amount of gratitude these people have even after living in such a poor condition
From what I can tell, the dude in the beginning seems more happy, satisfied, and less stressed, than the majority of the people I encounter in my life daily. With all the comfort, law/order, and advantages of the western world, people are really toxic and ungrateful for some reason. 🇺🇲
@@SSingh-ok6dn The privilege of a good life to most developed nations promotes an ungrateful and entitled life for people who haven't struggled much in life, that's why many young people in this part of the world are among the most vocal and impatient about issues that are small compared to the suffering of daily life like these Indonesians go through
@@SSingh-ok6dn nsh
Exactly, we Indians were much happier during the British era when were actually slaves!
@@LevineLawrenceL take
Holy crap 0:25 to 0:40 what a stressful job for those excavator drivers, having to always look for people who blend in quite easily with the piles of garbage and are literally swarming all around where you are trying to move garbage with huge equipment.
Honestly I would not blame them if they hit those guys. They are all illegally picking the trash.
@@lexilunke525well they need permission from the government in order to scavenge. Not to mention the operators are close with them and treats them as their own.
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist8 Uhhhh... yeah, ok... bit weird. And also, no thanks.
@@speedowagonnnee1948asking for permission probably also comes with a waiver that frees the government from any liability when something happens to them while working in the site.
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "One man's junk is another man's treasure"...
The amount of gratitude these people have, especially considering the circumstances of their existence, is something we should all strive to emulate.
Meanwhile the people with the most are never satisfied.
I have a different thought: We should strive to eliminate the reason people like this must live off trash. I love their outlook and positive spirit, but cannot stand that we think its OK for ANYONE to live like this.
the amount of stupidity it takes for us to equate people getting aids and other illness while sifting up trash to having gratitude, really shows how fuckin sheltered people on youtube get.
They say that the used condom Alfredo really hits the spot . Depending on the lube of course
Shows the strength of faith.
I'm so privileged to me living the life I have. I will never take it for granted. Seeing this really puts things into perspective.
Dont get fooled, indonesia is full of corruption, no one would have to live like that if the distribution of wealth would be fair and transparent. You would be suprise how much power rich people have, espically in indonesia.
For real though and we complain when our cell phone is dead or our luxury sedan won’t start
@@Brandon68plus1 right?? i'm sitting in my master bedroom which is like 3-4x the size of their full house and thats just my room!! those people struggle like none other
You pay for infrastructure and education. This is sad, but societies evolve at their own pace.
@@ipasuhd we deserve what we have our ancestors are fighter not them, they cant even burn their trash
Yet they still have a smile on their faces grateful for such little they have.
Thank you for letting these extremely hard-working people have a voice.
proper grammar would be great
@@italianrager5831have you ever considered that they might not be a native language speaker? There were much kinder ways you could have corrected them so why choose such a rude one?
Try to be kinder to people and try not to harm them psychologically. Sometimes letting go of expectations of grammar can allow other people to freely speak without harsh judgement.
@@CanadianBullFrog yes Jiminy Cricket.
@@italianrager5831 Beginning a sentence with a capital and ending it with a period would be great also. 🤡
I love Indonesian people, there is always a special place in my heart for yous. If I ever become rich I promise I’ll help
As he is smiling, I am choked up. Puts into perspective how easy I have it. God bless everyone.
I wish that man and his family all the luck in the world. Hope he can save up enough money to start his own business and stop worrying about collecting trash.
Man seems pretty dang happy considering his circumstances. If I had the money, i'd offer him some sort of job treasure hunting. No more garbage!
@@armamentarmedarm1699 how did he do it?
Owning a business only works in capitalistic societies.
Stop having kids would be a start.
Or he could literally got a job that pays three times when he’s making, minimum wage
Initially my spirit feels pity for those in this position of poverty but at the same time the way in which they deal with their circumstance for the sake of survival utilizing the little that they have while maintaining the family values of actually taking care of one another is a astounding. Truly a display of love that even the most privileged struggle to attain.
Display of love? The guy loves like this, and still
Chose to have a child. Clearly thats not love. I couldn’t imagine putting a child into such a situation.
@@jamesbizs Tbf, most of his kids are not living like he is. 2 have jobs and another 2 are students. Where there is life there is possibility.
If his kids had never been born then they would never have got to experience being human and all the highs and lows that come with it.
I was born into poverty but I got an education and then a good job and now I want for nothing. But if my parents had never had me simply because they're poor then none of that would've happened.
@@jamesbizs people are allowed to have children
@@ajs1998 *people who jp approves to have children are allowed to have children
Spawning a brood of 5 is irresponsible.
Best of people . They work hard and never complain and always smile . Amazing honest people . I wish them the very best on earth .
As an Indonesian myself let me tell you the translator really watered down what the man is saying. He is actually speaking in a more complex and intricate way than what is translated.
I remember when I was young my parents,uncles and cousins would team up on the weekends to go dig through the trash at stater bros,Ralph’s,vons or any other super market we can go to just to put food on the table. I feel their pain because it’s all about survival in this messed up world.
you ate out of dumpsters?? 🤢💀
Grocery stores throw away perfectly good food. Fruits, vegetables and packaged food. There's nothing wrong with dumpster diving and taking advantage of what's there. ❤😊
@Xi Jingping ate a lemon Yeah, maybe. But the OP knows his family got food stamps and WIC. The cartel brought them here.
@@karenwilliams3882 There is something wrong with it... its called viruses, diseases, and bacteria.
In the US there's always work other than picking food out the trash. My guess is your family was just too lazy to do back breaking labor.
This is heartbreaking, and absolutely necessary to show to the world.
They do it to themselves.
This is wonderful, they get a job they enjoy and they play an important role.
Absolutely show it to their government that set up rules of that country. Their government allows it because it makes them money. The people on the top are getting that side money to look away.
Other countries telling this government how they should run their land and their people. .....history
I wish their government love their people but like everyone else they don't care about poor.
I got homeless people my state. They won't help find affordable housing because my state is getting rich with high rents collecting taxes.
Why is it "necessary to show to the world?" It's a result of their government's policies. You expect the US and NATO to be a white knight and intervene in meaningless squabbles abroad that don't solve anything? Sorry bub, you guys are on your own. Any time these countries get help from developed nations, it's always "they caused more harm than good."
So, yeah, it's your problem if you live in this country and showing it to "the world" doesn't change anything when the corrupt people in charge of Indonesia doesn't care about anything changing and instead blame everything they did wrong on "the West always holding us back and sabotaging our government."
Why heartbreaking. I am from the USA and want to do this full time but I can't. No landfills here.
Just thinking about the Muslims faith which kept them going with a smile 😢
I can't complain these people are literally digging in trash to survive I'm humbled beyond words
Every time I go through a "tough time" in my life, when nothing goes right and I'm feeling miserable...I go on the internet and watch videos like this one. To see how the poorest of the poor, the most unfortunate, live and suffer, and to compare their problems to mine...it sets me straight in just a few minutes and reminds me that I know NOTHING about suffering because I have never truly experienced the real thing.
but you have... different.. but it is relative. we are all living the human experience and no one is without sorrow.
Every time I reached that spot, I knew my ex was standing over me, kicking me in the back.
@@thedude5599 👍
@@fireblade274 Yeah. It is truly relative but some carry heavier burdens on their shoulders.
Mate, your sorrows are still valid. Just because someone's less fortunate than you doesn't mean your problems don't count.
Makes our bad days seem like good days. God bless this man
Pro tip: Stop hanging out in the garbage dump.
Imagine dying while digging through a bunch of trash
And some people that i know in my office sometimes complain that life its hard.... They never seen this for sure.
And still they have an Honest smile on their faces under those inhumane circunstances.
Poor but very brave and proud people.
Huge respect for them.🙏
I've always felt bad about wasting food that I buy. This just solidifies my guilt.
Most of the food gets wasted before it's even sold. Stores throw away perfectly good food everyday because it's 'expired'. But in reality most of it is still good to eat for days and sometimes even weeks. Also distributors are to blame for this aswell. Many fruits and vegetables with small imperfections get thrown away before they even reach the stores.
Small dents in fruits and insect bites in the leaves, etc are some of the reasons they throw away perfectly healthy food. So i wouldn't feel to bad for wasting food.
I use to but then I realized it feeds earth. I'm talking food not items.
I bury my cat next to a bush that always needs fertilizer every year to flower. that year I didn't fertilize it because it flower with help of my beloved cat Twiggy. She made the soil Fertile with her body.
You would prefer people like him starve? I think you should throw out more food.
Don't worry, God is sending them the gift of trash. They are thankful for it.
@@jorgen8630
Mostly that's just false. Fruit that's 'not aesthetically correct' gets turned into other products instead.
Expiry dates are a safety feature. We do away with them and healthcare costs skyrocket because suddenly the cases of food poisoning multiply by a factor of 100.
Aside from that, organic trash isn't the probleem. Wait half a year and it's composted.
It's the huge amounts of plastic that are the main issue.
This is heartbreaking. NO ONE should have to live like this!
the horrid part is its been going on for a very long time
They clearly say he doesn’t have to live like this. He can farm
@@MrShanester117 and make even less money
hahaha welcome to the real world SJW
@@skeetrix5577 are you trying to insult someone for having even the tiniest shred of decency and empathy?
Cool cool
Amazing how others around the world live and deal with their immediate environment . What a great attitude that that last person interviewed had , goes to prove not to take anything for granted !
the real definition of "another men trash is another men treasure"
9:04 I don’t cry easy but I teared up seeing them returning home from collecting trash all day , these men have such tremendous strength to continue every day and try to provide for their family. God bless them and their families,I hope they can move away from there and live comfortably and happy one day
From their?
@@solidnate7389 uh oh i see the grammar police are on UA-cam ? I’m gonna get in trouble I better be careful
@@Huero510 .....also noticeable that you were embarrassed enough by your incorrect word usage, to change it (edited).......
@@BF... I understand your point , it is a valid point indeed but often in 3rd world countries birth control is expensive for poor people and not as easily available as it is in America so people don’t use protection which leads to more reproduction. Also Poor people historically have had high death rates due to less access to medicine. This uncertainty often pushes them to have more kids to compensate. I’m just saying these are some of the reasons why in 3rd world countries people have so many children
@@BF... Your perspective makes sense, but if that happened then only the wealthy would have kids, which isn't good either
My god, that's so terribly sad. No-one should have to live like that.
We should consume less so they don't have to do it.
Did you even watch the video? It says they choose to live like this since it pays more.
Wonder why they don't just pack up and leave
Only wish some of these spoil a$$holes in western countries see how good they have it
@@coolandgood1010 and why do they want more money? Hm, maybe to support their families better or have more to eat? So maybe if their local economic system wasn't so horrible, they wouldn't have to choose to work horrible jobs!
it's funny there're people who are crazily rich yet they always feel they need more and greedy, yet there're also people who happy and feel grateful just by living like this
this world is a temporary place.
Their work may not look shiny, but the value they provide to civilization far outweighs that of others
I always tell people here in London, once you're happy with running water, electricity and food in the fridge, anything else is a bonus! These people haven't even got that and they're thankful
Now that is real journalism.
It is a shame, that in my country, the news outlets only show what is making them the most money.
Usually our government employees fighting like children in high school and using our tax dollars to do so.
If this type of journalism were to make it's way to the masses, maybe, just maybe, we, as a society, could find it in our hearts to help one another.
These are probably some of the most humble people I will have had the pleasure of seeing through this video
By definition, a "landfill" fills a hole in the ground with trash. This is a "dump".
Wow, this just breaks my heart, nobody should have to live this way. These people can teach us a lot about perseverance and gratitude. I am so ashamed because I have developed food aversions that come and go, sometimes it’s smell, sometimes taste. I think it is because of my medications so sometimes I can’t eat certain stuff. This shows me that I need to find a way to overcome it.
I've worked as a recycling sorter where swarms of flies, piles of maggots, garbage juices and human wastes were daily encounters and gets worse during summer. But I had proper ppe, filter mask, safety glasses and 3 layered gloves etc. This video makes my job looks much better off than what these people are doing.
Sounds like fun, ngl
i hope you get paid well my brother.
There's a lot of way to feel grateful, and we just need some reminder, sometimes.
The amount of mental fortitude and contentment with their situation are simply amazing. Nothing pitiable at all. I pray they would get enough money to move on from this lifestyle.
Fact
You're so full of it, LoL
Praying does nothing.
Don't keep having kids that you can't afford would be a great start.
Very good documentary from Insider. Thank you for creating this and giving some dignity and respect to the people documented!
I’ve lived in crippling poverty, but i managed to claw my way to great success. There’s never a day that goes by where I don’t think about where I came from, and how much closer poverty is then most people realize. I am truly grateful.
stealing bacon is still wrong, you should stop it and change your way ❤️
Every country has its own unique problems. In Canada, its the cost of rent / housing. People here work to just pay rent, its an endless treadmill. Its depressing. Might be the same thing in some U.S cities too.
They seem to have strong religious walk and a nice family, that's better than any physical possession
These people are amazing, they live, eat, work and pray in the shadow of a mountain of garbage. The fact that they survive is an incredible testament of the human body, how our body's adapt to there environment. There noses adapted to the smell and I bet there immune systems became very strong after living and eating so much contamination.
this guy is unbelievable ,people in much better position than him go to depression yet he is still thankful for what he has may Allah bless him
Man what a way of living . I needed to watch this I need to be grateful more. It looks like the trash mound from the movie idiocracy what a hard and dangerous job.
There's one thing i always say to myself all the time and that's ,"No matter where in the world you live and reside. There's always another plays struggling worse than you somewhere else.." Im just grateful to be able to have a roof over my head, bed, food to eat :)
do you tell people not to be happy because someone out there is happier than them?
All of these comments are ridiculous. You see people living in abject poverty, eating garbage, and you feel grateful?? Why don't you feel angry? You realize this isn't random, right? Look up Oxfam's report, "Inequality in Indonesia: millions kept in poverty"
"Today, the four richest men in Indonesia have more wealth than the combined total of the poorest 100 million people."
Learn about generational poverty and how few opportunities Indonesians living in poverty have to better their lives.
@@Abby-ug4xc They don’t feel grateful because they’re third world opportunists. They express their gratitude by flying their flags on US soil, the country that helped them, not the country they had to flee.
@@VoltairesRevenge Some of them yeah. I do see that a lot.
Other people really believe it's random luck or fate, and not a calculated system of exploitation and colonialism.
They're not drawing the connection between their good fortune and the suffering of poor south eastern countries
@@jasonvoorhees5640 Happiness is healthy, unhappyness is not.
Unbelievably sad and also amazing to see how these people adapt and reuse other people's trash for their own benefit. This is why I believe rich people should be charitable with their money to help people like this, not just to throw their stuff away for others to scrounge for to get by. Granted it's their money and their right on how to spend it but after seeing something like this, it just breaks my heart.
I am going to start putting poison on my trash.
ALL people should be charitable not just the rich who are the most charitable of us all. we all can do our part no matter how small.
@@jasonvoorhees5640 you are the best example of why we cant have nice thing
The message at the end was spot on
It's a slap on each one of us who cribs and cry always that we don't have this and that ...these people look the most happiest people despite the battle they fight each day ❣️❣️
Suddenly I feel that I have nothing to complain about.
It’s very humbling to watch these people dig through trash to survive when in North America we are so incredibly wasteful
I'm teaching at summer school this year and teaching sustainability. This is absolutely what I will use
Family is everything... after God. His faith/gratitude, just wow.
Wow the scene at 6:25 where it pans up so you can see just how absolutely enormous this pile is and with all the people and machines working all over it. Unbelievable
movie reference
I have the greatest respect for these people. When faced with crippling poverty, they did not give up. Instead, they work hard at a thankless job that helps everyone else on planet earth…..yet pays them almost nothing. 😢
I disagree
When we all seem to forget our lives aren't fulfilled because when don't have that particular job, the night we didn't get the chance to eat at that high-class restaurant. Even all of us are mad in some way because of food prices and gas prices going up. We all need to remember, we got it good despite all the changes we've encountered because of the Covid and of course, we have it rough sometimes and every situation has its hard times. But when you see this video and see that some humans are grateful for all and see it as God's gift. My friends, these are the richest people in the world from the heart and understanding of life's challenges
Scavenger- $25 a week
Middle man-$25 a day
Boss-$250 a day
I once passed that road (bantar gebang), the smell made me nauseous, and I didn't want to go near it, I saluted the scavengers. Hopefully they are healthy and have a better life, Aamiin.
GOD BLESS THESE FOLKS
This man goes out into one of the most disgusting places known to man to dig around for food and scrap metal/glass just to earn $25 per WEEK. Thats like an average dinner out for one in the US. Really puts into perspective just how much we take everything for granted
Brought tears to my eyes.
What a disgusting world we've created.
I used to work about 2 miles away from there, and when it rains, you could smell it, imagine 2 miles away and I can still smell it, hope the best for them
you're not Indonesian as Indonesians have never used miles, only km, Dutch never used miles since 1800's- only metric.
@@markiobook8639 But couldn't you think maybe he use the Imperial unit so others could've understand it a bit better?
I thought I was a living a rough life till I watched this. I'm so grateful for what I have
Fragrance of souls is releasing innocence, hope, strong family bond
Exactly. The very last message is what I'm constantly telling my coworkers who keep throwing out perfectly good food just because they "don't believe in leftovers". I've become the leftover police and now hunt for things they're gonna throw out so I can collect it and give it to the homeless. Its freaking ridiculous what people are willing to throw out when others are starving.
Thanq
You can throw but put them in tightly seal containers and multiple plastic. Most of the times, we rarely meet poor people like since they lived outside of the city
You should see McDonald's. When I worked there when I was young, we had to throw away full bucket of french fires every 30 to 45 minutes. These are those big paint buckets. McDonald's is the most wasteful fastfood restaurant I've ever seen.
I went to Brazil for half a year. I saw a man throwing not even half a cigarette on the streets. 5 people swarmed it, and the lucky man got to keep it. He then had enough tobacco to make his own cigarette.
It puts things in perspective. I dumpster dive from time to time. It's scary the amount of good food is discarded. People are too spoiled.
I mean It's thier choice?
You wanna give your leftovers to the homeless go for It lmao
Doesn't mean everyone has to have the same mindset yo.
Isn't that specific person's fault ppl don't wanna get out and work for a living and Isnt thier responsibility to feed people who dont wanna do better for themselves 🤷🏻♂️
It’s crazy what we view as everyday normal struggle would look like a miracle for people in other situations. Hard to wrap my head around it.
I live in Australia and I'm a bit of a whinger to be honest ..but when I watch shows like this and see how happy this 1st man is with his family just shows me how lucky I am and I should be more grateful for where I am .. hopefully one day I can be just as happy as this man thank you!
It’s not about you. They don’t live in horrible condition to just make you feel good about whatever the place you are at in Australia.
Ok
Look at that, not a phone in sight, just people, living in the moment.
That’s a sad story.
amazing how resilient their prayer life is.
Mental self- defense.
I admire really these guys. They demonstrate the full extent of human tennacity and ingenuity, and although I agree that it is pretty awful that they end up living like this, the fact that so many seem to survive, actually makes me feel slightly more optimistic about our chances of surviving, as a species, when we are now faced with so many challenges of our own making.
It is a shame they can't catch that hazardous methane and use it to power electricity generators. Being able to learn from what these guys have learned to do, and apply it to useful things like power generation is one way we could start to reduce the damage and wastefulness that our previous easy throw away society has caused.
There are plants that do exactly that, including some in the US. The better option is to prevent the methane generation entirely of course, but in the meantime it can be done.
They should use that ingenuity to make something that sustains itself instead of wasting energy on something that only gets them by for the current day.
@@thejman5552there are thousands of people living like this

@synapticburn well, for one, if I was in a country that provided me only with the opportunity to dig thru trash to make a living, I'd use my entire life savings to gtfo. Get the family out somehow as well. There's countries with open borders, you just need to find transportation. It really doesn't get worse than digging thru the trash.

@@thejman5552 yeah just buy them all train tickets and pay off the corrupt officials for your passports, then the corrupt officials in the next country for your temporary visas, then try to find work at somewhere that will hire illegal immigrants...
You know what's absolutely crazy? The entire risk could be removed if they established a queue system where the trucks go through the trash first, and THEN the scavengers go on so they're not in there at the same time. This allows them to be safe and it also speeds the process up for the operators who don't have to constantly watch out for people. How has nobody thought of this?!
You should go there and tell them this.

I have always hated people wasting food!!! That man had a great message. I pray they all make it out of poverty 🙏🏾
They won't make it out.
Sorry, but that's the truth.
Yes pray REALLY HARD, the more prayer the better off these people will be obviously. You can tell by how much that guy was thanking god that he could scavenge literal garbage to feed his kids.
That man is respectable human that is Grateful to be able to feed his family. His mind is free from bitterness and hate, he has accept the life that was given to him. I'm sure the day he dies he will be giving thanks to God for all the moments of happiness he enjoy next to his loyal family and friends.

@Oneshothunter opportunity is everything, some of us in first world countries squander it.
If I could donate to these people directly somehow and know they received it. I totally would do it. Puts things in perspective and helps me realize how good I actually have it in life. Very fortunate.
unfortunately you would spend more money to get it there then the content of the package. or even stolen
That wouldn't be too hard nowadays would it. Just have to have someone videotape it and document the peoples names and info about who receives donations.
Sad truth of this is that people who give with a big heart dont realise that corporate greed is still there. If you give £/$100 only less than 0.01 goes to that country, and the leaders get it. I'm glad I have no children. Thats a sad statement.
Despite the squalid conditions with little or no prospects these folk seem to be jolly
that is horrific...all the teenagers out there should be shown this

When Rasidin said he won't stop scavenging because he is still poor, it really touches the heart. Cruel world to live in 😢
cruel world?
I am going to start putting poison on my trash.
Yet he had 5 kids! Irresponsible breeding
That is one of the most impressive landfills I’ve seen.
During the Great Depression in the USA, residents of Chicago would go through the landfills searching for food.
Certain restaurants, convenient stores and grocery stores trash a lot of product once the expiration date is near or passes. Milk is one of those items.
I'll never understand how it's legal to throw food away for example: I use to work at a banana and potato plantation and if the banana or potato doesn't meet the specific size criteria it gets thrown away. And when I mean thrown away, it gets crushed and shredded through this machine. Such a waste of food that could be given out to the poor. Nobody on this earth should be eating out of the dumpster.
Here in the states if companies gave food away that hasn't been approved by the FDA and somebody gets sick or dies they can get sued making it pointless to sell anything bc of the lawsuit costs.
@@joetroutt7425 i do wonder, what if someone signed a waiver so they not sue?
I don't think it should be illigal but I think they could try to do better with what they do with the waste
@@joetroutt7425 it's not approval from the FDA that causes food to get thrown out. lots of times, farmers throw away foods with small blemishes because they aren't marketable, despite still being edible.
@@darksideorbit8898 it's not farmers. It's the ppl who are in the factories that process the food that come from the farmers. If the company that makes a product sees a blemish then they throw it out bc it makes them look bad. There have been cases though where ppl have eaten food and gotten sick and sued the company from where it had come from.
The sad thing is companies can't afford to give food to the poor. If they give old food, they would get sued to oblivion, so they have to throw it away. The cost of also moving 'old food' would, I assume, cost more than just throwing it away.
These people work more in one day than I have in the past 5 years.
It is a real pity for these poor people. It touched my heart within. I always try not to waste my food ever and have never done so since I am an adult. I request people from all over the world please give your food to the poor if not used or the used ones rather than throwing them in the trash and saving their lives from disasters like accidents and diseases and working there for their livings.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
Always be grateful for what you got. And worry less about what you don't got. I can't imagine living in these conditions, yet these people are still humble and grateful. Even through struggles, I will keep my head high just as these resilient people do. God Bless them 💜

This was as real as it gets episode. Much thanks to everyone that made it possible to happen.
This situation is also same in My Country Philippines. I hope one day that SouthEast Asia countries will prosper someday and will never experience this kind of things. It so sad to watch.

Maybe send some of your administration to India. They can learn from us how we are removing our legacy landfills and then implement that in your country.
