Just outside Jakarta lies one of the largest landfills in the world—Bantar Gebang. But this isn’t just a dump. It’s a living, breathing ecosystem powered by trash. In this episode, I climb the trash mountain, eat food scavenged from waste, visit a school built in the slums of the landfill, and explore how local industries burn garbage to fuel tofu and lime production. This is the dark reality of Southeast Asia’s hidden trash economy—where survival depends on what the rest of the world throws away.
