Sometimes, you see little boys and girls picking up plastics at railway stations, bus stops or walking randomly near a garbage pile. Or you might have seen men and women on the streets asking for “kabaad.” It has been an old age practice to collect worn-out scraps from the households. Such collectors of scrap are known in India as kabadiwalas, raddiwalas or bhangar walas. They take their bag filled with scrap back and either sell it to shops or factories that recycle it or reuse it. They do this for money, in exchange.
The current government has been urging its citizens to build Clean India owing to degrading the Environmental Performance Index. The recent idea is to say no to plastics since its the largest waste being accumulated. Some companies have come up with brilliant ideas to repackage their products with recycled plastics.
Collecting scraps from home or the road has been a declining trend in recent years due to the increasing population and technology. People tend to hoard junk at their spaces and wait for months for kabadiwaalas to show up. These hoarded materials mainly contain, cardboards, newspapers, glass, e-waste, etc. Some of these can be harmful as well so putting them away is the best we can do. This waste can have environmental hazards as well so the sooner they are recycled or reused the better it is.
