"For us, the Roma, it is our only work, because nobody will hire us", says Renato, a scavenger earning half the average national wage. In the "dustbin of Europe", countries such as Serbia, Slovenia and Russia dump their scrap in vast quantities. Yet Albania's infrastructure is insufficient for dealing with this often toxic waste. Despite efforts to restrict imports, waste continues to enter under the guise of "raw material". In towns such as Elbasan, home to a large metallurgical plant, the poor control on the industry is beginning to destroy the health of its workers. As one doctor describes, "On one hand, the community has been here for a long time, and needs work. But on the other, it cannot afford the sacrifice".

Dear friends, if you are blessed enough to be born in a developed & privileged country, then thank God for that instead of looking down on / talking down to others. No matter how bad their situation is, God loves them too.
Peace!
EgoBeatusSum God bless you i am not an Albanian but i think Albania is a Jewel of Europe and world, its not down.
True. I've devoted a good deal of my life with the WHO and Doctors without Borders in Africa.
@@blackjack3257 Albania has its many problems that emanated in the cold war. It has a long way to go but the people of Albania are a determined lot and they will no doubt make it.
@@rickravenrumney Great you were with WHO and Doctor without borders all your precious life, you did served humanity a lot thank you very much.
Well I am from Albania and I want to share with you that things have changed a lot in 4 years. We have done a lot of progress and we are almost closing the landfills and conserving the waste to turn them into gasses. People arent collecting cardboard or metals anymore but they are working legally in the landfills maintenance. This is a lot of progress but we have a lot more to do!
Can u tell more about it i find it interesting
@@smd6411 There is nothing more to tell you about this topic. But I advise you to visit Albania because It is a marvelous country with gorgeous beaches and stunning mountains. The food here is also delicious and healthy. I mean the traditionally cooked. People here are very welcoming and the prices aren't high either. You can have a great time with a fraction of the money you would spend in other countries.Search on the web about Albanian places to visit.
@@enesgj7860 thank you❤❤
Someday in the future, those dumping sites will be *GOLD MINES,* as plastic wastes are now re-convertible to oil, compostable to soil by lab-made bacteria, etc. Science is making new advancements in breaking down plastics. Somebody in Asia has recently created a plastic-eating bacteria and it will be brought to dumping sites.
@@pinklady7184 Correct!
Oh , i've only seen the beautiful part of Albania, but .. even in America trash dumps like these exist and homeless and impoverished people collect scraps to sell to recycling yards. No country is without some bit of poverty i think. Just my 2 cents.
American cities are shitholes. Don't be fooled
Dick. Show me where in the USA that people are digging through trash dumps? Garbage separated at transfer stations, organic to landfills, metals separated, the rest burned for power local or sold to where it can be. Its' the law.
There are good looking parts of Albania?
Albania has a huge potential for tourism. I have travelled through whole country from Montenegro and visited Gjirokaster and Ksamil. Those were really nice places with very kind people. There are problems as in every country and Albania has a long way to solve them, but at the end I think this country is beautiful and I will surely come again! The gipsies are the same in every country they live in, dont be fooled they live like this only in Albania. Its very hard to integrate them into major society.
Go to Norway. You wont find that here.
They're driving a car on British plates, different number on the front and rear... I'll just leave it there.
OhFishyFish yes we got that, you are a hole of a pig 🐽
@travpoet I know you are trying to speak without prejudice but seriously , that comment is so xenophobic its almost funny. Lets just throw them all on an island and put barbed wire around it. We can give them tatoos too. They can enjoy their culture there, yup. Surely you realise there are many Roma people out there who do not steal and are not so poor that they need to, making that comment nothing but statement of prejudice. You havn't met every person from a Roma backround ...have you been to Albania? How can you think that statement isnt prejudice lol
@@BarocaS2 Yo dude. He ain't too far off. You think Renardo and his brothers cleaned after they dropped that bin? You think they're the only ones who don't? The silent majority doesn't matter dude.
It's just how it is.

I live in Albania and seeing this makes me realise how many poor families struggle to survive. . it's horrible that our government imports trash from other countries
What do modern day Albanians think of the Enver hoxha regime ?
@@conorowens5805 It depends, we can mainly thank the partisans for freeing us from the nazi-fascists but the implementation of a regime probably even more brutal than that of stalin is not justified. During the time of communism we had equal opportunity and if you weren't a artist or journalist or some way involved in politics and didn't care about freedom of speech you were fine I guess. Overall, Enver did more worse than good, his paranoia costs us not just material stuffs and ya know more technical things but tens of thousands of lives. More of an Criminal of the people rather than a hero as their propaganda says.
@@someguysomeone3543 nah nah, we can thank the gheg highlanders from kelmendi, hoti, krasniqi etc for defending albania from serbs and turks
can you give me some work in albania i am light and hay driver please tell me if they have any work
@@conorowens5805 he was fucked up, cruel, heartless and a devil. He killed all his old friends. Put people in jail if they talked about how nice the west or non-communist country’s are. Put people in jail if they talked down about him or his regime.There was alot of snitches in the community’s. So if you talked bad all they had to do is rat you out and they are believed even if you didn’t say anything. Worst part is some towns had it worse then others. My parents town had to work on tobacco fields. Very had work. And very poor nutrition. They weren’t aloud to have their own animals. Smh

Area of Albania: 28,748km²
...so Britain is over seven times the size of Albania.

When people produced children more than they could feed, poverty will strike them hard. It's true even in my country: the poorer the parents are, the more children they have.

yah. Albania suffered one of the biggest economic downfalls in Europe after the communist era. When most comy countries opened up , businesses came in things started working. In Albania the one thing that came from the west was Ponzi schemes. The sucked the country dry in less in then 5 years. I think only Moldova suffered true a bigger economic collapce. For Moldova it was the loss of the Eastern block's internal market. The country relied for 90% of its income on agracoltural export to the commy block and suddenly in 1 day , they lost all of their markets and nobody else wanted to buy.

Apart from joking I truly do believe that ALBANIA is the most beautiful country in the Balkans. The reason is it is the one with the most varied landscapes. So no matter what the other countries are advertising ALBANIA has it all and then some. You want wild mountains, waterfalls, snow, forests, alpine lakes. Pick and choose!
I have not visited personally but i have seen many places in Albania,they are remarkable in beauty
Well done to Edi Rama, since he took over things are going better. Stile lots of room for improvement but some people are still want to do things on their way Illegally as they think only the best for there pockets.
Albania is beautiful cauntry, around 7 million tourists visited Albania this summer, this video is about gypsy people, gypsi are the same everywhere in the world, this video was made years ago, now everything is changed.
Y’all are acting like this doesn’t happen in every country around the world like tf, albania is not a place full of rubbish but when you go to a landfill and Albania’s poorest neighborhood which is far more poor than Albania’s second most poorest neighborhood, you make a country look bad when albania is not like that

I'm Albanian living in UK. This situation it's really hard ! I don't like to name those people but they are not Albanian ( I'm feeling so sorry for this part of people, as they're having the hardest life on the earth ( in theory they must have benefits which is( special budget)for them given by Europe but...... nothing is going in their hands as in Albania it's huge corruption unfortunately.:(:(:(:(:(
You are not helping by not mentioning names.fyi
@@atos.nympha3451 the meaning was that what most of the people calling them Gypsi "As I don't feel to call them like that
Prime minister Rama is not Albanian? He is a gipsy? All that corrupted customs workers are gipsys? All that waste importers are gipsys? Now I understand why albanians move to UK and EU.
@@spiritualhumanist it's true.
No future - big corruption everywhere - drogs etc completely disaster - I don't know what to say
@@atos.nympha3451 most of the people calling them" Gypsy "
They're having really very hard life because no one supports/love/ employees them. As you can see
I earn 35 euro cents a day, let's have a kid! 👀
They are living in poor conditions and complaining after they made children, it’s freaking ridiculous
In The Pits
😂😂😂
WhutsWhat
Who said it was?
WhutsWhat. No but if you cant provide a roof and food and basic stuff for your child , its pretty dumb to produce kids. And look at the gipsy in the video, hes “wife” who literally looks like she is 13-14 years old was pregnant, and he was complaining that he didn’t have anywhere to go, when hes child is born. These people are seriously dumb.
Emptiness Form
Very selfish
Albania was the first to 100% electrify in Europe. This was a fast growing and industrializing nation under the communists! People are still paying for overthrow of Communists and embracing American values!
Sheikh Albani came from this country who was the Scholar of the Century. Now this country is the bin of Europe. May ALLAH grant us Independence and honour

If you knew the average Albanian, this would all make perfect sense.
Unlike most viewing this I've actually known many , and am qualified to offer that opinion.
Yeah the Albanians are poorest in Europe for last 2 decades. That's why they emigrated to Kosovo (Serbia) and Macedonia (ex Yugoslavia), Yugoslavia welcomes them as their own, allowing them to build a mosques (Not a single EU country allows it) They have at least 6 to 9 kids each married couple. And now 50 years later they took Kosovo and probably Macedonia in near future.
What an idiotic comment albania being poor can be easily linked to the hoxhaist communist regime which turned the country to the north korea of europe
After the fall of communism a lot of people didnt adapt quick enough to the capitalist system and in 1997 the whole country almost went bankrupt due to bank schemes
which makes it quite obvious that in just ten years the country wont be able to turn into a germany or france

Albania is MORDOR
Lord of the Rings best comment ever🙉🙈🙊
How ironic is it that Marc comes from the town of Puke.
This isn't a documentary but a Bad propaganda about Albania . The facts this doku says aren't true like wages 1$ in a day and only Roma's people live somehow like this .
These bins are made of metal, he says metal is worth it, why not take the bins. They need to start thinking out of the box.
If that is your idea of thinking outside of the box then you belong with them
I think albania changed a lot,today albania is the 68 in human development.and i hope one day albania become a great country
Sure bro big Albania is coming and will become a great country!

So many nasty comments speaking badly about the Roma (gypsies), have some empathy for their situation. It's easy to judge from a computer screen until you are in a tough spot too
This is very normal in eastern europe this is there mentality for every problem they just blame the gypsies
Exactly . I hate fucking critical people who EASILY HAVE IT but easily talk shit. The only ones who should if they want to, talk shit , r people who have been there and come up. Still it's wrong to talk shit.
@Thor God of Thunder hope u learn some empathy. U think they want to be in that situation? If u depend ur respect upon someone for suffering then...u have alot to learn and most people like u wind up in the same position u talk shit about. Instead of acting like ur so fucking great... Why don't u speak for urself? Why don't u help? Ur talking shit about children born into that cruelty. Ur heartless. U laugh at a child's pain? Ur sick. I'm sure u understand how easy it is to spring up to go to school look for work , and be successful on one outfit, an empty stomach, and no home or hygene or shoes . Yeah.. I'm sure u understand. Low life. U know what my people think of u american people ? U Indians, and u dark scum? Ur fat greedy , entitled and lazy.
@@pankajakathaita5169 seems to be typical of the Caucasians scapegoat others even if it's their own.
@Thor God of Thunder you tell em Thor , hey didn't you get bashed in by Kratos?
They should be educated and integrated by the government. They are simply neglected.
no one deserves to live like that
Thats so sad. Obviously their government has a long way to go. Recycling is bad everywhere . I wish these men could get real good paying jobs recycling with proper plants. So sad
In Albania are around 20.000 gypsi, you need to make a video about gypsi of Serbia, Romania, and Greece, there is highest gypsi population.
@Laclinic Montreux what the hell u talking about . Is clear that u are not Albanian so get the fuck out here🖕
ive seen this when i visited Brixton, London
damn imagine people dealing waste and not drugs.... lol
This is horrible. What is with all the nasty hate down here in the comments? You people make the trash piles in the video look like milk and honey.
The guy who is struggling to make payment's on his truck, could just set up a pick-up route. He could start with other businesses first, and install side rails on the truck at a 20 degree angle to maximize how much he can pick up in one run.
Over the years, I have seen many stories told in these documentaries, of poor people around the world. They are neither hopeless or helpless. They just need many legs up. Poverty is one hell of a hole to climb out of.
It doesnt help that they have had no education so have no idea how to get out of the cycle they and their families have lived in
"Success is based on the people around you."
'nuff said.
Thats the mentality of a man who cant take some resposabilities 👏
I don't think my scrap man takes grenades I don't know I'll have to ask him
This is a minority of Albanian population and as such they have their traditions (most of Albanians don’t marry 12-13 years old ,we don’t have kids 15 years old and not all of us collects trashes😐) this documentary describes partially the reality! Some things are much better and other things much worse but looks to me like this documentary tries to generalize the problem and at the same time doesn’t dare to go deeper and investigate for real!
Po ça albanian population. Kta jan bythzinj, çlidhje kemi ne me kto perveç faktit qe kto kan ardh n'tokat tona.
Albania is even poorer than many African countries. Face the reality instead always blaming others.
@@MahanUSW bro what hes trying to say is that the documentary is generalizing which he’s right.
