Powerland Cairo: Trash Talking

01.01.70

Cairo — Hanna Fathy, 28, enthusiastically pushes food scraps into his kitchen drain. When he looks at the pink paste that gathers in a bucket under his sink, he doesn’t see trash, he sees a source of renewable power.

He carries the slop to the roof of his home in a slum east of the city, and pours it into an old storage barrel.

“We can use the same organic waste that we’ve already paid money for when we bought it as food, to make energy and save the environment from using fossil fuels,” Fathy said.

He’s made the barrel into a biodigester, where bacteria from cow manure feed on food scraps and produce biogas. He pipes the gas down to his kitchen and uses it to cook with.

“That’s my philosophy: to create and use whatever you have to help yourself to be sustainable,” Fathy said.

It’s a philosophy he puts into practice daily. Hanna is one of Egypt’s zabaleen, or garbage collectors. Most of Cairo’s waste ends up in his neighborhood, the Manshiet Nasr district.
