Meet The Waghris, India's Invisible Recyclers, Collecting Old Clothes From Doorstep
Going from door-to-door, with a bundle of clothes and another one of utensils, asking for old clothes are the Waghris. There are thousands like them, across all of India, who spend their afternoons collecting old clothes from societies and housing complexes, apartment buildings and colonies, in exchange for utensils or other household goods. The Waghris, a nomadic community, has been operating an informal and often invisible old-clothes recycling trade for more than a hundred years now.
