“Millions of people world-wide make a living collecting, sorting, recycling and selling materials that someone else has thrown away. There is a rowing recognition that waste pickers contribute to the local economy, to public health and safety and to environmental sustainability. However, they often face low social status, deplorable living and working conditions and little support from local governments” … Wiego.
