Camaraderie And Friendship

There is a real sense of camaraderie and friendship amongst the people here. The drivers of the truck, the people as they work the garbage are always respectful of each other. In my 14 trips to the dump I have never seen an angry or violent altercation between adults, I have seen parents yell and and sometimes hit their children (on the arm/leg) but that's as much anger as I have seen here. When the fresh garbage arrives there is often a feeding frenzy of up to 30 people trying to get at the good stuff, but everyone is always respectful of those around them (and of me!).
