Recyclers in Cali, Colombia are a well organized guild of waste pickers/collectors that work formally with the government and are part of the waste management system. They generally work with carts that they build themselves out of recycled waste. These designs do the job but improvements on ergonomics, ease of transport and other needs exist such as the ability to keep a cart from rolling down hill.
