It is an honor for me to extend a sincere welcome to all to the –readers, donors and well-wishers of Samyukta Safai Jagaran (SASAJA). SASAJA is Nepal’s first waste worker’s organization. A waste worker is a person who collects reusable or recyclable materials thrown away by others and sell for thei livelihood. Everyone wants their surroundings to be clean but cleaning itself is hardly appreciated by anyone. There are millions of waste workers worldwide, largely in developing countries but increasingly in developed countries as well. Waste management systems in the cities of many developing countries could not be managed without the informal waste workers. Waste is a great resource for waste worker and waste workers are contributing a lot in minimizing the economic cost of local government in solid waste management and keeping the cities clean. Although it is clear that the service of waste workers are crucial and they are an important stakeholder for proper solid waste management, but the occupation remains unrecognized.
