The ancestors of today’s recyclers were called scavengers. In this show the committee interviews Ricky Ramos, Senior Project Manager of the Downtown Streets Team of Oakland describing a grant program where DST will assist unhoused people to recover illegally dumped material.
If there was a hall of fame for scavengers, a member must be Jay Weschler of Philadelphia who is featured by the Recycling Archives.
