Project: New partnerships for Socio- Economic Inclusion of Informal Waste Collectors
December 2013 – May 2015
This Project intends to respond to the needs of the informal collectors of diverse types of waste in Macedonia, who live on the margins of the society. Almost ALL of them are Roma. For them informal waste recycling is a common way to earn an income. It is estimated that approximately 5000 are involved in informal waste recycling. The factors that push people into informal waste collection are fundamentally economic. Many poor people, faced with a choice between starving or informal waste collection, choose the latter. 100 % of the target group of this Project Proposal is illiterate; 95 % living in urban areas in the ghettoes placed at lands with non defined ownership in sub standard conditions; lacking access to basic infrastructure and access to social and welfare system...

Project: "Inclusion of informal Roma waste collectors into the formal waste schemes"
Summary: There are around 5000 informal waste collectors in the country, almost all of them Roma, that are marginalized, discriminated and with limited social rights. Their inclusion in the formal waste management scheme at local government level will contribute towards enabling possibilities for them and their families to exercise their basic human rights: employment, education, social and health welfare. Firstly, by pooling capital, establishing microenterprises, and forming partnerships with compliance schemes, municipalities, public utility companies, informal waste collectors increase their selling power. Secondly, by securing uniforms, safety equipment, and work permits, informal collectors increase workplace dignity and safety. And thirdly, by demanding recognition for their environmental and economic contributions, informal collectors increase political might.
