Motorist videos can collectors operating through traffic
The can collectors have become a community unto their own.
As a community, we are prone to seeing the infamous can collectors move around neighbourhoods with their larger-than-life bags.
These collectors generally sift through people's garbage on 'bin days' and dustbins, looking for cans or scraps they can recycle in return for cash. They have become accustomed to carrying these large recycling bags that establishments usually use for bottles.
Often, the collectors are camouflaged by the sheer size of the bag, which makes it look like the large bag is moving around on its own.
But we are not prone to seeing them move through traffic, although that doesn't mean it doesn't occur. Anything is possible, remember the video that showed a man in a wheelchair moving through public roads in Johannesburg?
A motorist recently shared a post of a can collector on the streets of Johannesburg. If an award for the most innovative in transporting cans existed, this can collector would be voted the best.
In the video, we see the motorist's perspective from inside their vehicle, videoing the can collector. The can collector cannot be visibly seen because he is crouched in front of the large recycling bag, which is on a device with wheels, steering the bag through traffic.
It was interesting that the motorists around the can collector were not phased driving next to or behind him. A society of acceptance...
