- Worth noticing
- The homepage reports 59 member organizations across 38 countries, representing more than 500,000 waste pickers.
Field notes
The homepage lays out a broad organizational structure: history, constitution, affiliates, governance, workers’ education, advocacy, publications, and news. It says the Executive Council is the key decision-making body and meets every five years; named office bearers and council members are listed. Featured impact-story titles include a journey from landfill work to leadership and a profile of Rachel Muturi. The observed globalrec.org address resolves to wastepickersinternational.org, and the supplied extract does not explain that naming relationship.
