Recycling is an important subject for every individual having a consciousness about living in a city. Recycling is also the last niche for a waste picker who has been migrated by force from his village and now desorbs the valuable paper from the waste to stay in the capital city of Turkey, Ankara. On the other hand, recycling is also a kind of “clean up” by making the waste pickers wear a uniform and labeling them as “volunteer environmentalists”. It also represents a new developing sector for a municipality which aims to be one of the capital cities of Europe Because as the city is getting more crowded and wealthier, the waste of this city is also getting more and more valuable. Those 7 pieces of video aim to tell 7 dark sides of recycling by revealing aspects as the forced Kurdish migration, unemployment and the hidden story of waste pickers’ endless fight to own the waste which is becoming more and more valuable than their lives.
