Directions (1-5) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them, while answering some of the questions.
Among those suffering from the global recession are millions of workers who are not even included in the official statistics: urban recyclers – the trash pickers, sorters, traders and reprocessors who extricate paper, cardboard and plastics from garbage heaps and prepare them for reuse. Their work is both unrecorded and largely unrecognized, even though in some parts of the World they handle as much as 20% of all waste. The World’s 15 million informal recyclers clean up cities prevent some trash from ending in landfills and thus, reduce climate change by saving energy on waste disposal techniques like incineration. In the developed countries they are the preferred ones since they recycle waste much more cheaply and efficiently than governments or private corporations can. In the developing World, on the other hand, they provide the only recycling services except for a few big cities.But as recession hits the markets Worldwide, the price of scrap metal, paper and plastic has also fallen.Recyclers throughout the World are experiencing a sharp drop in income. Trash pickers and scrapdealers saw a decline of as much as 80% in the price of scrap from October 2007 to October 2009. Insome countries scrap dealers have shuttered so quickly that researchers at the Solid WasteManagement Association didn’t have a chance to record their losses.
In Delhi, some 80% of families in the informal recycling business surveyed by an organization said they had cut back on “luxury foods,” which they defined as fruit, milk and meat. About 41% had stopped buying milk for their children. By this summer, most of those children, already malnourished, hadn’t had a glass of milk in nine months. Many of these children have also cut down on hours spent in school to work alongside their parents. Families have liquidated their most valuable assets – primarily copper from electrical wires – and have stopped sending remittances back to their rural villages. Many have also sold their emergency stores of grain. Their misery is not as familiar as that of the laid-off workers of big name but imploding, service sector corporation, but it is often more tragic.
Few countries have adopted emergency measures to help trash pickers. Brazil, for one, isproviding recyclers, or “catadores,” with cheaper food, both through arrangements with local farmersand by offering food subsidies. Other countries, with the support of non-governmental organizationsand donor agencies are following Brazil’s example. Unfortunately, most trash pickers operate outsideofficial notice and end up falling through the cracks of programmes like these. In the long run,though, these invisible workers will remain especially vulnerable to economic slowdowns unless theyare integrated into the formal business sector, where they can have insurance and reliable wages. This is not hard to accomplish. Informal junk shops should have to apply for licences, and governmentsshould create or expand doorstep waste collection programmes to employ trash pickers. Instead ofsorting through haphazard trash heaps and landfills, the pickers would have access to the cleaner scrapthat comes from households.
The need of the hour, however, is a more immediate solution. An efficient but temporary
solution would be for governments where they’d have to pay a small subsidy to waste dealers so they
could purchase scrap from trash pickers at about 20% above the current price. This increase, if well
advertised and broadly utilized, would bring recyclers a higher price and eventually bring them back
from the brink. Trash pickers make our cities healthier and more liveable. We all stand to gain by
making sure that the work of recycling remains sustainable for years to come.
