Garbage City, officially known as Manshiyat Naser, is a district on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, inhabited largely by the Coptic Christian community known as the Zabbaleen, meaning “garbage people.” For decades, the Zabbaleen have made their living by collecting, sorting, and recycling Cairo’s waste—processing nearly 80 percent of the city’s trash by hand, far more efficiently than most modern systems. #Egypt #cairo | The Bearded Backpacker
