Cairenes now have the chance to earn some extra cash in exchange for selling their recyclable garbage to two state-owned kiosks around Heliopolis district. They wait until after school and come along with their parents to sell cans and plastic in order to earn some extra cash,” said Ibrahim Hassan, who runs the kiosk on Aswan street. Parliamentarians Nadia Henery and Sherine Farrag are leading the recycling initiative, under the supervision of Cairo governor Abdel-Hameed. They plan to evaluate the work of the kiosks over the coming months with the aim of installing similar kiosks across Cairo, as the initiative is currently narrowed down to Heliopolis. “The prices may seem low, but people need the extra money anyways.
