No But Most countries have some level of informal sector workers who make a living by collecting and selling recyclable materials from garbage. Called scavengers, waste-pickers, or rag-pickers, they play a vital role in reducing waste sent to landfills and providing inexpensive raw materials to industries.

We have lots of them in my areas as well, most of them usually come to where we throw dirty to search for things. There have been cases where some steal things as well.

Sadly, there are scavengers in my home country as well, and it pains my heard to see most of them are children and teens. The government has been unable to tackle this issue
