A worker walks alone under a streetlight as he returns to work more hours at The Stung Meanchey Landfill in Phnom Penh Cambodia. The landfill, called "Smokey Mountain" by local Khmers, is the workplace of 2000 workers, including 600 children, who collect recyclable material to earn their livings. Over 700 tons of waste is delivered to the site each day.
