“My office is in Lan Kwai Fong and it was the first time I saw something like this. Apparently, the guy is a local and I applaud him for what he did,” Chin told HKFP.

Since Hong Kong has little in the way of a social safety net, it is not uncommon for senior citizens to collect and sell recyclable rubbish in order to support themselves. The job can pay as little as HK$40 per day.
