拾纸皮老人的心声。
帮他们推车也是一种帮忙。
或者把纸皮送给他们也算是一种帮忙。
“最多是两趟，要找到10块钱的（纸皮）都很难现在，你看现在每趟只有3块，如果跑了两趟，我加起来也不到10块，我必须要找到100kg 才有5块，真的很难”
这是一名来自大巴窑72岁的刘先生的心声，平日他以捡纸皮为生，生活也并不富裕，因为年纪的关系，所以一天只能卖不到10块钱的纸皮。
Cardboard Uncles And Aunties
Back hunched from old age and long hours of bad posture, a group of elderly started their day early or the night before, collecting cardboard boxes and drink cans.
To this group of people, their livelihood depended on the mountain of cardboard stacked on their trolley, towering over their frail body. Any fluctuation of selling prices for used cardboard and drink cans has a direct impact on them having a roof over their head or having food for the day.
How Much Cardboard Uncles And Aunties Earn?
To meet basic household needs, a cardboard uncle or auntie needs to collect an average of 34,475kg worth of cardboard per month. An average of 1,149kg per day, 7 days a week.
Should he focus on just drinking cans, that is an average of 51kg worth of drink cans per day, 7 days a week.
Based on a single elderly living expenses of $1350.00 per month.
