PARTNERS IN DEVELOPMENT (PID) has discovered services in Haiti which pay cash in exchange for recyclable materials. Unfortunately, without clearer communication, no distinction is made between trash and recyclables; all of it is considered trash. By providing training, materials and supplies, PID can help Haitians reduce their trash and improve their lives. The results will include fewer rodents to spread disease, cleaner water, and decreased air pollution. Most importantly, it can provide poor families potential income. For every nine pounds of recycling they could receive one dollar. To encourage long-term conservation, each family will receive a fruit tree for their own property which will provide better nutrition and prevent erosion, thus also reversing the effects of deforestation.
