A Rag-picker, or Chiffonnier, is term for someone who makes a living by rummaging through refuse in the streets to collect material for salvage. Scraps of cloth and paper could be turned into cardboard, broken glass could be melted down and reused, and even dead cats and dogs could be skinned to make clothes.

Rag pickers are those people who make a living by rummaging through refuse in the streets and collecting material for salvage. They pick up rags and other waste material from the streets and refuse heaps to earn a living.
They play an important role in waste management. They collect recyclable items from the garbage, like paper, plastic and tin, which can be sold to the scrap merchant. They help to keep the environment clean by collecting the waste products. They help to reduce carbon emission. They are the informal waste managers.
