Rumin

Rumin, a 51-year-old waste picker with nearly 24 years of experience, works at a makeshift waste dump in Tangerang, Banten. He supports a family of five and earns approximately Rp 60,000 per day from sorting waste, relying heavily on the instructions of the landowner he works for. His story reflects the precarious existence of many informal workers in the waste management sector, living day-to-day amidst uncertainty.
