Located an hour north of Manila is the Valenzuala garbage dump. The majority of the trash is plastic and various electronic parts.

Anyway, great photos.
Hey, just put up a bunch last night in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tai. They are all over the city though. I will be posting more soon. Keep your eyes peeled.
