Striking Images of Waste Collectors

Reference : DO1309-HM010516

At the Duquesa landfill, on the outskirts of Santo Domingo, hundreds of waste pickers work daily amid the capital's refuse. Many are Haitian migrants—men and women—who search and sort garbage for plastic, metals, cardboard, and items to resell. Under extremely poor sanitary conditions and often without proper protective equipment, they constantly face decomposing waste, dust, fumes, and contaminated water. Behind these workers are hundreds of families who depend directly or indirectly on this informal recovery economy. For many, the landfill represents one of the few ways to earn a living and feed their families. Operated for over thirty years, Duquesa has become one of the Caribbean's largest open-air landfills. Long criticized for its health and environmental consequences, it is now undergoing a major rehabilitation program. In 2026, Dominican authorities launched its progressive technical closure, a process spanning several years that now raises questions about the future of hundreds of families dependent on its waste.
