Every day I see a lot of scavengers at the landfill. They are looking for items that can be recycled in a pile of garbage that smells very rotten. What they do is very helpful in reducing waste to not mounting rapidly. I think we should be grateful to scavengers, what do you think about this?

well, we could have done that ourselves at our homes. but I do feel blessed with the eco guy or street janitor who cleans part our neighborhood. with out him no one will throw them out. one time he got sick, trash was all over the place even if i did clean people would foolishly throw trash.

If you mean animals, yes nature has a way of cleaning up. If you mean a human recycler then it could pose a serious health risk. If money can make it worthwhile then it is a way to handle a garbage challenge?

I feel so sorry for them. They do not have a better way to make a living. i hope that the government can build more schools, and train the people in different kinds of work, then they need not hunt for items in a landfill
