Safai Karamchari

What they do

Early every morning, a safai karamchari sweeps the lane and collects the rubbish from every house. Without them our streets would be full of waste.

We help by putting our rubbish in the bin and by saying thank you.

Where they work: On every street, and at the collection centre.

Let’s pretend

Take a small broom and sweep one corner of your room. Then find every bit of paper on the floor and put it in the bin.
