Waste Bank - in the garbage dump near Kfar Yatta (the West Bank), young people live in temporary dwellings that they made out of the refuse left by the nearby settlements and the city of Hebron. Most of them are illiterate and some are mentally disabled. All through the day and night they collect metal and other objects that can be recycled and sell them for a few shekels. They spread out pipes under the garbage heaps through which they produce natural gas that serves them for cooking and heating in the winter.
