Yambol Street Cleaners Dragging the Sack

These women work hard all day int he blistering heat of Yambol and during the freezing cold winter. They are seen here dragging a sack they had filled full of street weeds.

Yambol's Gypsy Street Cleaners

We see these every day in Yambol, the Gypsy Street Cleaners, they work all day keeping the pathways and roadways clear of rubbish and grit. Without them many of the drains would become blocked up with mud and grim that builds up on a daily basis, especially during winter. They use to wear orange outfits but now don new green with yellow trimming sand look the part. You can see each woman has a different tool. Going from left to right one has a scrapper and a cone, the next just a scrapper, then a rubbish box collector and finally a twig sweeper, every household has one of these. These are best for sweeping leaves up.
