The large garbage dump near El Milagro, while claiming to be cutting-edge, verges on environmental disaster. Garbage is dumped wherever there's room and is often burned as a means of making piles smaller. Opportunistic locals, without any other employment opportunities, sort through the rubbish and collect anything that can be sold, like plastics, metals, and circuitboards. The hazards are extremely high.
