Waste scavengers of Buenos Aires
Year:
2006
Author:
Stéphane Kluser
Description:
In Buenos Aires informal waste collectors recover 9 to 17 per cent of municipal waste, representing an estimated
saving for the municipality of US$30 000 to US$70 000 a
day or US$3.5 to US$7 per collector. Scavenger households
earn an average of US$58.4 a week. Despite their role in the economy, the working conditions of Buenos Aires
cartoneros and their counterparts in other cities in the
developing world are very poor, working mainly at night,
without any protection such as masks or gloves.
