Jardim Gramacho (Garden Gramacho in English) in the Brazilian city of Duque de Caxias is a neighborhood and was the site of one of the largest landfills in the world. It closed in June 2012 after 34 years of operation. It was started on an ecologically-sensitive wetland in the 1970s adjacent to Guanabara Bay. The Associação dos Catadores do Aterro Metropolitano de Jardim Gramacho (Association of Collectors of the Metropolitan Landfill of Jardim Gramacho) is an organization of "pickers" who sort through garbage in the landfill, finding recyclables as a means of survival. The 2010 film ''Waste Land'' documented two years of work of Brazilian contemporary modern artist Vik Muniz in creating art with the cooperation of the people collecting recyclables at the landfill. ==See also== *Landfill gas emission reduction in Brazil *Environment of Brazil 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jardim Gramacho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
