There is always a man on duty at the Cambridge City Dump. A small, aging man in glasses and a thin black sweater looks away over the mile of bromo, beer, and molasses bottles; ripped mattresses, spilling their insides; worn-out bras; punctured car tires, cans, cartons, containers, crates rusted, flattened, discarded, dumped...
