Rio's dump site: a threat to the environment

The Gramacho landfill, the largest in Latin America, poses significant environmental risks due to its unstable location near Reuse Bay. Plans to shut it down aim to prevent potential disasters, but this leaves 3000 workers uncertain about their future. Many, like Renato, earn twice the minimum wage but face unemployment with no relocation plans or alternative waste processing sites. The closure highlights the tension between environmental safety and economic stability for the workers.
