In the quiet corners of our communities, where waste meets responsibility, a remarkable tale unfolds daily. Journey with us as we step into the shoes of those often unseen but immensely vital — our dedicated sanitary workers.
In the heart of the Ketti Resource Recovery Park, we discovered not just waste, but a narrative of resilience and commitment that paints a vivid picture of the unsung heroes shaping a greener tomorrow.
Exploring the Resource Recovery Park: A Glimpse by the Climate Smart Team
In November 2023, our team embarked on a journey into the dedication of sanitary workers in managing the facility. Without them, our communities would be overrun by waste.
These workers, also known as garbage collectors, play a crucial role in keeping our cities clean and healthy. Every day, they wake up early in the morning to collect and dispose of tons of waste generated by households, businesses, and industries.

Despite the essential nature of their work, garbage collectors are often undervalued and underappreciated. They work in all weather conditions, from scorching heat to freezing cold, and face numerous hazards, including exposure to harmful chemicals and sharp objects.
But despite the challenges, these unsung heroes continue to carry out their duties with unwavering dedication and professionalism. They take pride in their work and understand the importance of keeping our communities clean and safe.

Let us recognize and celebrate the seeds of hope that these unsung heroes plant every day, contributing to a cleaner, greener, and healthier tomorrow for us all.
