As the days become longer and summertime offers more opportunities for lazing around in the park, so too increases the visibility of one of Norway’s most unusual phenomena: the can-collectors.
The can-collectors, as I’ll choose to call them, are people who go around public places (particularly popular parks) diligently picking up empty bottles and cans in order to take them to recycling. However, they are typically neither environmental enthusiasts nor civic minded people feeling a compelling duty to clean up the community – they are usually less well-off immigrants, who do this for a living.
