This month on Making a Difference is the first in our Long Read series where we focus on one, in-depth story each episode.
Aston Brown from University Technology Sydney – and now a rural and regional reporter at Guardian Australia – takes us inside the world of people who are prepared to dive into rubbish bins to collect and, then recycle, bottles and cans.
Are they environmental warriors? Is it a hobby job? Or are they trying to earn precious money to make ends meet?
Episode 33 – The Professional Recyclers – is out now on our website or your favourite podcast app.
