But this environmental win comes at a steep cost for thousands of waste pickers like Nur Wencih, who’ve relied on these sites for decades to survive. With only a handful of methane wells still functional and costly tarps needed to contain emissions, officials face a tough balancing act: protecting the planet while preserving livelihoods. Six hundred thousand informal waste workers are now at risk, while residents are being asked to sort their trash—a new habit many struggle with. This bold move aims to end decades of waste mismanagement and build a sustainable future, even as it disrupts daily life and forces tough choices for all.
