(2120) The other side of vending machines

Nihon_arekore_02141_Can_collector_100_cl

One of the most common jobs for homeless people -but not exclusively for them. Especially in Tokyo and especially if you're doing the rounds early in the morning, you can collect all these in two-three hours, although the money, from what I've heard are something like 100 yen i.e. less than a dollar per kilo (2.2 lbs). The balancing act is amazing though.
