Just sat here watching the tv and it appears that on channel 4 at 7.35 pm there is a 30 minute documentary titled - Unreported World - Egypts Rubbish People: A startling film exposing a dark side to Egypt: that of a secretive society of 40,000 people literally living in rubbish in a Cairo ghetto.
Thought that it might be of interest to some here. Apologies but I haven't had chance yet to see if there is a web link.

I've seen something like that on YOUTUBE. They live with the trash -it's pretty revolting, then they blame Muslims or something, I can't remember exactly~

Although cleaning up other people's rubbish is not the best job in the world. The guy on film is looking down on them ... A couple of years ago I listened to a program on BBC radio about two people who wanted to visit these people...... a journey of a lifetime......
The Zabbaleen recycle most of the waste left by others. That is how they raise money. Not many countries can say they recycle 80% to 90% of their rubbish
