Mallam Kaduna (on the left) and his workers collect all the waste paper from the printing press. They store it in a sea container in front of the office. They sell it to snack hawkers like suya stands and popcorn vendors. A kilo of newspaper goes for N60. They sell it in bundles of 36 kilos.
They had a load of bundles laid out, I counted 168, that's N362,880. Or 1512 pounds. The committee that organises the sale get a percentage for their time.
