For years, rag-pickers or scrap dealers have been a familiar sight in Indian towns and cities, going door-to-door and collecting all kinds of household waste - from newspapers to plastic and glass bottles.

The scrap dealers pay a certain amount to each household depending on how much they collect. This is then sold at a higher price to bigger dealers, who send it to recycling centres.
