Sorry mate, you have little world knowledge and understanding as you do not know any better that what you have seen or see every day.

I see nothing wrong with them cleaning up and recycling garbage which would normally end up in landfills or back on the street with the first garbage workers strike.They are actually s hidden eco- force which we recognize as beggars yet think of what would happen if those trolleys of bag bulging garbage was not collected . At least they are earning an honest living .
