From ‘Kabadiwala’ to Recycle Guru :
Chinnaswamy is a silent crusader who prevents Bangalore city from turning into a dumpyard. His knowledge of recycling is vast, but his contribution goes unnoticed. He, and others like him, face neglect and harassment, and receive a low income. BinBag wants the Kabadiwalas (informal waste collectors) to receive their due recognition. We call them Recycle Gurus, and believe society has a lot to learn from them.
