Egypt used to have an excellent recycling program. The Coptic Christians picked up and through the trash. Egypt's crackdowns on them broke the system. Now they have hugh mounds of trash building up.

The Coptic Christians were deriving their income from free materials. I don't recall now what the government did that made them stop:

"And trash! Even India is cleaner than Egypt, and that says a lot. There were mounds of trash, piles of trash. Trash on the roofs, in the streets, on the sidewalks."
