LOL. I pretty much live in jeans. The only ones I’ve let go of are ones that are too big, and those were donated. You can recycle jeans, too. There’s all kinds of stuff you can make from them.

In the 19th century, rag-and-bone men typically lived in extreme poverty, surviving on the proceeds of what they collected each day. Conditions for rag-and-bone men in general improved following the Second World War, but the trade declined during the latter half of the 20th century. However, in more recent years, partly as the result of the soaring price of scrap metal, rag-and-bone-style collection continues, particularly in the developing world.
