    Garbage is a major problem in Indonesia, with streets, bins, and waterways filled with trash. Four of Indonesia's rivers are among the most polluted in the world due to municipal waste. Household garbage contains chemicals that cause air pollution when burned. While incineration reduces dangerous emissions, Indonesia burns over 2000 tons of trash daily and dumps 7000 tons at the massive 110 hectare Bantar Gebang landfill, which is also home to 3000 families who scavenge for a living off the garbage.
