While the great pyramids of Giza and Khufu in Egypt make interesting photography, the courtyards and homes of the Zabaleen community in Cairo make equally exhilarating and unbelievable picture. Every house in this locality has a story to tell.
Amazingly, pyramids of garbage/waste material, floor after floor, in each house speak of their success! The more garbage they get to segregate, the richer they get and more the floors they add to their homes. The entire family right from the youngest able member of the family is into this business of segregating waste.
These shampoo bottles are segregated colour-wise, shredded/turned to pellets and supplied back to the market.
This photo feature brings to you the glimpse of this community that live by the garbage. They have contributed to the clean city that Cairo is today.
