A waste picker walks with a load of recyclable waste on her head in the Mbeubeuss rubbish dump in Dakar on July 14, 2021. Almost all of it ends up in Mbeubeuss, a landfill about 30 kilometres (18 miles) from the centre which has a notorious reputation as an environmental hazard. Pickers set fire to the rubbish to find valuable metals, for example, spewing noxious fumes onto neighbouring residential areas. (Photo by John Wessels/AFP Photo)
