ews.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4620041.stm Homeless people have been given recycling jobs in the US. The UK government is trying to encourage more people to recycle their waste and reduce the UK's waste mountain.

Curbside Recycling

Curbside recycling now serves half of the U.S. population, providing the most convenient means for households to recycle a variety of materials.
While all curbside programs differ, the most commonly included materials are The Big Five: aluminum, glass, paper, plastic and steel.
If curbside recycling isn’t available in your area, consider starting your own recycling program.
