Mettle: Documentary about People Who Collect Recyclables for Cash

By on June 10, 2013 1:26 pm in Arts and Entertainment, movies

Local filmmaker Andy Arrow recently completed a documentary called Mettle, about people who earn their living by collecting recyclables, and how they are “cited, or even arrested, for picking up trash from the sidewalk.” Arrow has a Kickstarter campaign underway to “raise awareness and to fund a premiere event.” Drop a couple bucks if you’d like to help, and let us know here where you come down on the issue.

    I have always wondered, assuming a person pursues collecting recyclables full time, how much can a person make?

    Why, thinking of a career change?

    Well I am out of office in the near future.

    You are welcome, I enjoyed watching the trailer, as a docu-junky I look forward to seeing the complete version of Mettle.

    P.S. BHB Admin the Kickstarter link doesn’t work.
