With these two chosen keywords, here is my entry to this 39th Edition Challenge with Money and Trash as keywords:
Photo above shows Troy, our regular garbage collector, who passes by everyday to collect garbage from the people living in our subdivision. A few years ago, a city ordinance prohibited garbage trucks to enter subdivisions to collect their garbage. As such, these what we call "garbage boys" began appearing in the area collecting garbage for a fee. This was better than for the homeowners like myself to personally drop off our trash at the collection site which is quite far from our home and will require me to drive my car just to drop them off. Here are some pictures of Troy doing his thing with his collected trash in his metal container bin driven by a bicycle.
Troy is a high school student who works this job so he can help augment their family's income. School hasn't started yet so he does this the whole day. During regular school days, he collects garbage in the afternoon after his classes. He's actually not the only one who passes by. There are a lot of garbage collectors in the area and competition is really fierce. But we try to reserve our trash for him so he can be assured of regular money from us. He's a quiet, reserved guy. Uncomplaining. He has a very sullen expression and we always feel happy everytime he smiles whenever we give him food along with the money we pay him. Of course, I always encourage him with his studies so he can achieve something more in life. Meanwhile this is Still way better than if he falls into drugs and drug pushing. Here's a couple more of photos.
