The day-to-day lives of three cardboard collectors, with grit, humour, and back-breaking hard work

Increasing numbers of blue collar workers retire in the most expensive city in the world, SIngapore. For some, the only way to feed themselves is by collecting recyclable materials to sell. In this short documentary, three cardboard collectors, John, Yi Mei, and Weng Yip, invite us along as they go about their day, freely sharing their thoughts and feelings about their personal history and present circumstance.
