A shrine for Armando Ramirez, 16, and his brother Heladio Ramirez, 22, sits outside the gates of Community Recycling & Resource Recovery Inc. in Arvin, Calif. Two years ago, the brothers died from inhaling the poisonous gas hydrogen sulfide while cleaning out a drainage shaft at the facility. The facility handles the disposal of bio-waste from Los Angeles. Many residents of Arvin and Kern County oppose the site because of the air pollution the facility emits.
