Garbage Town in Cairo

Manshiet Nasser is Garbage Town. The largest squatter area in Cairo, the community is populated by trash collectors who have emigrated from rural Egypt since the 1950s. With over 300,000 people living in the area, photographer Carsten Snejbjerg went to capture the lives of the many different residents of Garbage towns. From children helping their fathers collecting trash to sell, to heroin addicts fresh from shooting up, to a woman getting ready for her wedding.
