VOICED: Mexico City struggles with waste disposal

The video discusses the closure of a major dump in Mexico City, which was part of a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Despite the closure, trash continues to arrive, affecting the livelihoods of thousands of trash sifters. The closure has led to trash overflow in smaller dumps and street corners. Sociologist Hector Castillo suggests the closure was politically motivated to gain support in an electoral year. The video highlights the ongoing challenges in trash disposal and the uncertain future for those who depend on it for their livelihood.
