Known to the locals as Smokey Mountain, Stung Meanchey is the municipal dump in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh. Its called Smokey Mountain because of the toxic smokey haze from the many bonfires on 100 acre site. The Dump is a dangerous place, full of toxic waste sink holes and reckless truck drivers.
