UNSUNG HEROES

We know by now that keeping our hands clean is crucial to keep the
coronavirus away. 1. D Have you ever thought of people whose

job requires them to get their hands dirty ? While we celebrate

and thank our healthcare workers for their sacrifice, let us not forget the waste collectors who keep our place
clean every day, pandemic or not.

Even in non-pandemic times, waste management workers face a great challenge handling waste. This

situation is more challenging during the pandemic. 2. A During this period of time uncollected

waste can host the virus and speed up the spread of the disease . Thus, while people stay home to work
in order to stay safe, these workers risk their lives by collecting and disposing the waste we create so that

others can live comfortably.

While we work on keeping the family safe by leaving our garbage outside, let us spare a thought for these
frontline workers who risk their lives for us. Have a heart. 3. C Let us give some thought to these

people when we throw waste . Dispose waste in a way that minimizes the risk to the workers who collect
it. Before you throw disposable gloves or masks take a second to think of the waste collector. Have you done

your part to minimize the risk to the workers who collect them?
