Cateura, Paraguay is essentially a city built on top of a landfill. Many residents work as recyclers and scavenge through the city’s landfill in search of sellable goods. In a location where musical instruments are worth more than a house, one recycler used his carpentry skills to make full-size cellos and violins from just scraps. Orchestra director, Luis Szarán and music teacher, Favio Chávez have taken these recycled instruments and created The Recycled Orchestra, an entire orchestra made from trash.
