Srinagar Recycler Carries Forward Family Legacy of Waste Management Our father played a role in this about 25-28 years ago. He taught us to earn money ourselves, work hard and provide employment to people, said a plastic waste collector Mohammad Saleem Sheikh. Several plastic waste units are running in Srinagar, the amount of plastic that is being found here is very high. I have been working for 20-25 years. Road garbage, whether from palaces or houses or streets, will have to be collected, said Mohammad Saleem Sheikh. We collect this also from the shops through our labourers and after selling it, they connect it further and whether it is bucket, jug, mug or any plastic item, we have to send it out in the end, we do colour sorting and grinding. We have kept local vehicles for transporting the plastic waste especially for Srinagar city, said the plastic waste dealer.
