I have also spent many hours waxing on the fate of the “clasificadores” as they are called here.

However, I would argue that they are not “jobless”, as you say. They are bonafide entrepreneurs who make money out of our waste. They look for paper, plastic, tin, cardboard and glass on the street and sell it. They reduce our generous contributions to landfills.

I think the real question is why we don’t separate what is really trash from what is recyclable to make their work more dignified. Are we as “solidario” as we say we are?

But yes, I too have wondered why one of them doesn’t pimp his or her cart and offer rides to tourists.
