MEET A COLLECTOR
Dieunette "Man Belo" Pierre is one of Kay Blada's full-time employees at the facility in Hinche. Every day, she helps collectors weigh their plastic, makes sure they get paid, and then sorts and cleans the plastic.
"People are really happy when they bring in the material. They say that it’s something that was going to be wasted, and they collect it and bring it here to make money with it. They thank God for that.
They come to sell their plastic collection so they can get some money for the day. Some of them get up in the morning, they don’t have something to eat. They bring in some plastic so they can go buy themselves some food.
What I enjoy the most about the work is the sorting. Because I can do that and talk at the same time."
