In Turkey, the collection of recyclable domestic waste is done mostly by street collectors, who work in hard conditions and without being registered. One solution can be the integration of the street collectors within a municipality system. Integration of recyling workers will enhance working conditions, health and social statuses of these workers, and will make the overall system more effective. Saprofit is designed to fit in such a scenario. Saprofit can easily move on different surfaces. It is easy to use at sidewalk ways and ramps thanks to its wheel construction and the materials combination. It can squash and classify the waste materials. The reflector bands helps safety in traffic. Saprofit’s aesthetic look is compatible with a city identity.
