They may be called informal workers, but there’s nothing informal about their impact.
This Workers’ Day, we honour the waste pickers, the tireless hands behind cleaner streets and thriving recycling systems.
Here’s to the strength, resilience, and dignity of informal workers.

Not all waste pickers are the same.
Each one contributes to reducing landfill waste, promoting recycling, and supporting the circular economy. This slides breaks down the basic categories of waste pickers, because when we understand their work, we’re more likely to value it

Waste picking can be a profitable career, especially in places like Lagos where it's already a source of income for many. With proper support and integration into formal waste management systems, it can become even more sustainable, offering clear career growth and recognition.

You might think it's not that much... until you start counting.

From the moment you wake up to your last meal of the day, plastic sneaks into almost everything.

Track every piece of plastic you use today, then drop your total in the comments.
