This slow-motion footage documents daily operations at the Ghazipur Landfill in Delhi, India, one of the city's largest municipal waste disposal sites. A vast mound of compacted solid waste dominates the landscape as dust rises from vehicle movement across the landfill. Green and white garbage trucks transport municipal waste along dirt access roads, while a yellow excavator and other heavy utility vehicles work to manage and redistribute the refuse. Overhead, numerous birds, including crows and black kites, circle through the hazy sky, taking advantage of the landfill's abundant food sources. The footage highlights the scale and continuous activity involved in urban solid waste management.
