street scavenging and trash picking  

Définition(s)

  • Street scavengers, also called trash pickers, are ambulatory garbage collectors who search for items of value in the waste streams of cities, towns, and villages. The majority of 21st-century scavengers make a living by selling recyclable paper and metals, but many also collect uneaten food and reusable products, such as appliances and clothing.
