binner \`bin-ner\ – noun We build on the expertise and positive impact binners have in urban areas. |
Binners’ Project is a group of waste-pickers aided by support staff dedicated to improving their economic opportunities, and reducing the stigma they face as informal recyclable collectors. Binners are among one of the most marginalized groups in urban areas. Their livelihoods stem from refunds received from used containers collected from bins. Binners positively contribute to our environment by diverting a considerable amount of waste from landfills. |
IT'S THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE COFFEE CUP REVOLUTION!
