The study was done by different methods like surveys and desk reviews. It included studying their behaviour, the places they work at, types of materials they collect, the method of collection and much more. After this analysis, the focus was to find the most suitable method to integrate this sector with the government in a formal way that can benefit the waste pickers themselves, the government and the whole solid waste situation in the country. Based on the results of our study, recommendations for the waste pickers’ situation in Jordan were given.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Environmental Science & Sustainable Development}, author={Hindiyeh, Muna and Oghlenian, Talar}, year={2023}, month={Mar.}, pages={46–56} }
