520    "All of Mumbai's possessions and memories come to die at 
       the Deonar garbage mountain. Towering at the outskirts of 
       the city, the mountain is covered in a faint mist, smog, 
       or smoke from trash fires and flanked by a creek that runs
       out the Arabian Sea. Over time, as wealth brought 
       Bollywood knockoffs, fast food, and plastics to Mumbaikars,
       a small, forgotten community of migrants and ragpickers 
       came to live at the mountain's edge, making a living by 
       reusing, recycling, and reselling."--|cProvided by
