        There is no fear sign on rubbish collectors face on daily collecting rubbish  for livelihood at Suwung the last place of excile rubbish (the TPA). They interact harmoniusly with   Bali  Cattle which were also feed organic rubbish over there as the main source of their feed. When the collectors were asked a question by author, wheather or not they fear if they trampled down or  push by the animal; they smile unswered it “no fear, we both togather looking for livelihood”.  We already accustomed in interaction with the animals, they no wild and no disturb unswered of  Mr Yanto, one of the collectors.

            When  the author existed at the TPA of Suwung, the behviour of the collectors and the animals were recorded. Trucks loaded rubbish came any time to the TPA to drop off the rubbish. At that time the collectors would fight each other to collect unorganic rubbish sach as plastics,  bottles, glasses, second hand tires, papers and all type of rubbish that could be sold. Mean while, the animals (as oeganic rubbish collectors) would wait until the collectors anorganic rubbish away from rubbish dump that no more unorganic contents in it. After that, the alteration of the animals to delicate organic rubbish such as waste product of fruits, kitchen (rest of rice, bread, etc). An  interaction relationship that can be followed are respect each other, understanding and patience in queue.

Total of the animal at the TPA is about 1000head that were owned by some farmers who live in villages around the TPA or others. A farmer owned 10 of the animals or more. The farmers identify their animals with different neck band orstring colour that put on the animal neck to distinguish other owners.

In general, the animal feed design for public is consit of native grasses, elephant grass, king grass, etc. while forages are “gamal”, “kaliandra”, “lamtoro”, etc.
