Abstract
Description
The recyclers in cateura, asunción’s municipal garbage dump, live from the trash and, in many cases, among the trash. The fetid odor carried along by the wind from Cateura to the nearby communities of Bañado Sur is intense, since the area has no sewage system and the service of running water is deficient. Children often work alongside adults picking trash or as street vendors instead of going to school—school attendance is only 40 percent. However, a sweet melody has now emerged among the discarded metal, plastic and smelly refuse: the Landfill Harmonic Orchestra, which in Spanish is known by the more evocative name, la Orquesta de Instrumentos Reciclados de Cateura—the Orchestra of Instruments Recycled From Cateura.
