Garbage collectors contest working in hazardous conditions
KAYONZA - Garbage collectors in Kayonza town, working under an association known as Duharinirisuku, have expressed fear of contracting diseases, due to lack of protective gear. “At first glance, garbage collection may not seem extremely hazardous. But it can be dangerous and even deadly. We often collect carcasses of pets, broken glass and syringes from the trash bins. Yet we use bare hands and feet,”
