TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Andrea BAMBINO, "The New York 'canners' recycling discarded bottles to survive"
'Canner' Laurentino Marin looks for cans and bottles to recycle in a neighborhood in Brooklyn on October 27, 2021. - Marin, who is 80, is one of New York's estimated 10,000 "canners," mostly older migrants from Latin America and China who scrape a living sorting and recycling plastics and aluminum. The canners are a key part of the recycling effort but they are unofficial workers, lacking the benefits and health insurance that would come with a recognized job. (Photo by Ed JONES / AFP)
