a dump where waste?

1) Does "waste" mean "an uninhabited wilderness that is worthless for cultivation"?
2) Is "a dump where waste" a grammatical mistake?
3) Does " crush the child's perspective" mean "that would crush the child's perspective"?

Context:

Two Spanish photographers who were in the same area at that time, José María Luis Arenzana and Luis Davilla, without knowing of the photograph of Kevin Carter, took a picture in a similar situation. As recounted on several occasions, it was a feeding center, and the vultures came from a manure pit waste:

"We took him and Pepe Arenzana to Ayod, where most of the time were in a feeding center where locals go. At one end of the enclosure, was a dump where waste and was pulling people to defecate. As these children are so weak and malnourished they are going ahead giving the impression that they are dead. As part of the fauna there are vultures that go for these remains. So if you grab a telephoto crush the child's perspective in the foreground and background and it seems that the vultures will eat it, but that's an absolute hoax, perhaps the animal is 20 meters away."
