ISLAMABAD: January 25 – An elderly gypsy on his way after collecting valuables from different parts of the city. Waste collectors typically poor want to earn money to support the family. Waste collection means the transfer of solid waste from the place of disposal to the place of treatment, and it is a part of the waste management process. Waste collectors perform this job. Often, the job of waste collector is reserved for those on the lowest rung on the socioeconomic ladder. By and large, waste collectors are immigrants from Afghanistan who first came to Pakistan during the Soviet War in the 1980s, leaving behind their homes, ancestral lands, and probably wealth. As a result, they were unemployed and had no homes. Then, someone had this brilliant idea to collect recyclable waste, sell it to different companies, and earn money, which benefited companies and waste collectors alike. APP photo by Ashhad
