India's ragpickers: A miserable and dangerous job made worse by extreme heat

India generates at least 62 million tons of waste annually, according to central government records, and some of its landfills are literal mountains of garbage, like the Ghaziabad landfill outside New Delhi. And while a 2016 law made it mandatory to segregate waste so that hazardous material doesn't make its way to landfills, the law has been poorly enforced, adding to the risk of waste pickers.
