The waste pickers of Bengaluru recycle over 383 million kilos of solid waste a year 鈥� but they are not seen as heroes.

Indira started waste picking with her family in Bengaluru when she was 10 years old. She says, 鈥淭here have been times when people were ready to hit me just because my bag touched them.鈥�

蜜芽传媒 Media Action is one of the organisations in the city trying to reduce the stigma of waste picking.
