A young boy who is a child laborer is collecting plastic with a gaff at a dangerous and polluted garbage dump in Cambodia.
A young worker uses a large gaff, which is used to collect soft clear plastic at the Stung Meanchey Landfill in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Over 700 tons of garbage is dumped there daily. Among the 2000 workers here are 600 child laborers too poor to attend school, which costs about $ USD per month.
