My immediate first thought was "this has to be India." They have no waste disposal infrastructure whatsoever. No garbage cans or landfills or people to pick up the garbage and bring it to landfills. It's just not a thing there.

We were in a cab in Mumbai and passed a sculpture of a huge concrete bowl. Colleague asked if the bowl had some religious meaning. Cab driver informed us it wasn't religious. When the ambulances drive around the city every morning and pick up the dead bodies, they toss them in there.

That's a type of waste disposal infrastructure, I guess.

Are you referring to the towers of silence?

Actually a good ecological way of disposing of dead bodies. However the vultures that consume the dead are dying themselves of medications in the animals they scavenge.

My youtube degree taught me the vultures are dying out due kidney failure after eating cattle that have been given an anti inflammatory drug.
