Dumped

Next month sees the launch of a three-week reality tv series on channel four in the UK, titled "Dumped", the shows eleven unsuspecting volunteers are left marooned on one of Britain's biggest landfill sites for three weeks. Their challenge? To survive off the rubbish the rest of us have thrown out.

The participants have willingly agreed to take part in a testing eco-challenge but they don't know where. Most have assumed that they will be dropped into a pristine natural environment like the Amazonian Rain Forest or the Arctic.

Starts Sunday 2nd September 2007.
