Paris Salvage Trade Keeps 40,000 Citizens Employed
Special to The Sun reports Paris housekeepers discard $10,000 of usable goods daily and 40,000 residents rely on city refuse for livelihoods. chiffoniers operate indoors, collect bags of coffee grounds, bone and leather scraps, old shoes, rabbit skins, and other items, turning waste into salable products. Bones become gelatin and glue, leather parts find new uses, and even crusts, coffee grounds, and fur are repurposed for food, textiles, or industry. The flea fair along Boulevard Richard-Lenoir and Canal St Martin fuels this extensive underground economy. Paper money, though, remains unusable as salvage.
