(Photo courtesy of PLASTIC BANK) MANILA, Philippines — Unable to finish school and forced to work at an early age, Reynaldo Balingit has been collecting trash for a living. Now at 40, he supports his wife and his five children who are all married. Balingit had collected a total of 1,279 kilograms of plastic waste since March when he became a registered member of Plastic Bank — a Canada-based social enterprise aimed at redefining garbage collection as a dignified source of income.
