    The Zabbaleen is a word which literally means "garbage people" in Egyptian Arabic. The contemporary use of the word in Egyptian Arabic is to mean "garbage collectors". In cultural contexts, the word refers to teenagers and adults who have served as Cairo's informal garbage collectors since approximately the 1940s. The Zabbaleen are also known as Zarraba (singular: Zarrab), which means "pig-pen operators." The word Zabbalīn came from the Egyptian Arabic word zebāla which means "garbage". Spread out among seven different settlements scattered in the Greater Cairo Urban Region, the Zabbaleen population is between 50,000 and 70,000. The largest settlement is Mokattam village, nicknamed as "Garbage City," located at the foot of the Mokattam Mountains, next to Manshiyat Naser. The Zabbaleen community in Mokattam Village has a population of around 20,000 to 30,000, over 90 percent of which are Coptic Christians. In this presentation, A brief introduction to Zabbaleens is presented and how they manage to keep themselves efficient within less than imaginable resources and manages to recycle 75-80% more garbage than bigger (western) & finincail companies. And, also how Zabbaleen's method could be implemented in India to reduce as well as recycle garbage with an efficient means of resources and money usage. Presentation By ABHi SHARMA
