Waste Pickers’ Newsletters

The updates we share in these newsletters come from our affiliates and allies. Sometimes we post directly from what individuals or groups have already shared through social media, websites or emails; sometimes we edit, organise and translate. The aim is to share information from waste pickers across borders. As always, we invite waste picker organisations to continue to send us their updates so that we can continue to share global struggles and victories.

If you would like to include your organisation’s updates in our website and newsletters, please click here and fill the form.
