A man collects recyclable materials from Managua's municipal garbage dump, known as "La Chureca", December 11, 2009. The dump is located near Xolotlan Lake, also known as Lake Managua. The lake, which has an area of about 1000 sq km, has been receiving raw sewage from Managua's one million residents since 1920. Nicaragua plans to clean up the lake by building a raw sewage treatment plant with German government aid amounting to around $20 million. REUTERS/Oswaldo Rivas (NICARAGUA ENVIRONMENT)
