Milking cash from booze bottles

Once booze lovers gulp their drinks to the last drop, everyone staggers home without caring much about the empty glass or plastic bottles they leave behind, and how they will be disposed of. Certainly, the bottles will end up in the trash and the next stop will be at the dumpsite. If they are not biodegradable or recyclable, they pile up and literally fill the earth.

This is where Wycliffe Omondi comes in. Omondi has made it his business to rummage through garbage bins in search for used whisky bottles. He does this with two things in mind; one, to save the environment, and two, to make good money from upcycling the bottles.
