Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A waste picker, recycler, binner, informal resource recoverer, or a scavenger, is a person who picks out recyclable elements from mixed waste wherever it may be temporarily accessible or disposed of . A person who scavenges for junk, food , materials, or other items is also referred to as a scavenger. The socioeconomic conditions prevalent in Third World cities differ markedly from those in industrialized countries. Third World cities are experiencing rapid urbanization brought about by fast population growth, as well as high immigration rates. Urbanization often takes place as the expansion or creation of new slum areas and squatter settlements. Typically, these settlements grow organically and lack any planning, resulting in twisting and narrow streets, as well as in the occupation of environmentally sensitive and disaster-prone areas, such as wetlands, river beds, creeks, ooding plains, and steep slopes.
