“The Pandemic has affected us so badly in terms of food, rent, pricing of the plastics we collect. We have to cover a long distance in walking searching for plastics due to the closure of businesses, and the rates have dropped a lot per kilo of recyclables - to a quarter or less. This is a big challenge to us.”
