"Over 6,000 books are available to the public in a library in Ankara from discarded books that otherwise wiuld have gone to landfill. In 2018, It was initially intended to be a library for sanitation workers and their families but became open to the public after seeing how much interest there was in it. The novel idea inspired the community to donate books to the ever-growing collection. In Bogotá, Colombia a sanitation worker had the same idea and has built a home library open to the public and created a foundation to encourage literacy in impoverished areas."
