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
