Bangaloreans accept open dumps in their neighborhoods as a fixture of the landscape, to be seen but somehow ignored. In the city that bills itself as India’s Silicon Valley, there are still putrid piles of garbage all around town.
The municipal government had responded to public anger over uncollected trash with decrees on waste segregation and composting that went unenforced, and by the time I showed up, not much had changed. In early 2014, I arrived in the southern Indian city of Bangalore, which just two years before had been paralyzed by a garbage-worker strike and a severe shortage of landfill space.
