Today on #WorldWastePickersDay, we celebrate the over 15 million waste pickers globally, who handle our waste unflinchingly. They rummage through our #waste, salvaging tonnes of it that might otherwise have ended up in #landfills. And they even look through the vast wastelands of our landfills, recovering something small here and there. Let's celebrate them for they are the true unsung heroes.

#India’s estimated 1.5 million to 4 million waste pickers who are undervalued and underpaid, do not even have a place in social security schemes. It's hightime their invaluable work is acknowledged & formalised as essential work. #WastePickersDay #ZeroWaste #CircularEconomy
