Mountains of unsorted garbage, including food waste, household chemicals, equipment containing heavy metals, pass through rain and melt water. Poisoned water enters the nearby Dniester and pollutes underground sources, the soil becomes uncultivable, and miasma fills the air. The anthropogenic factor plays a strange role in the life of these wastes; people living nearby look for colored and black scrap, usable clothes and products, and, without realizing it, become part of the natural recycling process.
