It was early one morning earlier this month when a group of volunteers in pink uniform at Phu Tho Village Cooperative in Quang Binh province used a loudspeaker to call on residents of the village to collect rubbish and sell it.
The volunteer group made a deal with the people of the village that for each kilogram of dry rubbish they brought to the co-operative, residents would be paid 30,000 dong (RM5.30). For each kilo of wet rubbish, they offered 20,000 dong (RM3.50).
