This pile of garbage was on fire the day I took the photo, February 19, and the smoldering refuse surrounds a sign that reads, "Forbidden to throw rubbish under the penalty of a fine." The garbage from my apartment complex three blocks away is most likely dumped here. Kinshasa is across the river in the distance. There is no government-sponsored garbage collection system in the capital city so people dispose of it anywhere and everywhere.
