October 4, 2011. Bedouin settlement of Abu Haddūbe, next to the Dudaʼim Waste Facility site established in the 1990s. The waste site receives and recycles 1,300 tons of domestic and construction waste per day, mainly from the metropolitan center of Tel Aviv. The land was formerly the village of Karkūr and Arab al-Ntūsh, south of al-‛Araqīb. On the right, just by the fence enclosing one of the facilities of the dumping ground, are some of the homesteads of the unrecognized Bedouin settlement of Abu Haddūbe. The fields next to the homes are small and demonstrate the shallow hand-worked plowing typical of land cultivated by the Bedouins living there. When the dumping site has been completely filled with layers of refuse interspersed with plastic sheeting, it will be covered with earth so as to resemble the surrounding terrain and a new dumping site will be excavated within the 155 acres of the complex.
