Can Machines Replace Trash Collectors
The head of the waste collectors' union, Shihata El-Muqaddas, confirmed that there are risks associated with the spread of can and bottle collection machines on the livelihood of around one million waste pickers in Egypt. These workers rely on solid materials and recyclable items to earn their income, especially given the rising prices of products and the high costs of the materials they collect, such as bottled water and cans. He explained that the contamination of organic materials and the damage to non-recyclable items increase operational costs, with daily vehicle expenses reaching approximately 1,500 Egyptian pounds for wages and fuel. This threatens the livelihood of these workers and impacts the overall waste management and cleanliness system.
