MR.Kabadiwala is an important part of the informal recycling economy in many parts of the world, especially in developing countries. Mr.Kabadiwala refers to the people who collect, buy, and sell recyclable materials like paper, metal, plastic, and glass.

The typical kabadiwala operates a small shop or travels around neighborhoods with a handcart or bicycle, purchasing recyclables from households and small businesses. They sort, clean, and store the materials before selling them in bulk to larger recycling facilities.
