Informal waste pickers and non-motorised transport: A mini-review of contemporary literature.. Informal waste pickers (IWPs) - individuals who collect, sort and sell recyclable materials outside formal waste management systems - play a critical role in urban waste recycling and landfill reduction.

This mini-review assesses the relationship between IWPs and NMT, highlighting key challenges, opportunities and research needs. The findings reveal that NMT enhances the mobility and livelihoods of IWPs, enabling them to transport recyclables ov…
