Marc the Litter Guy needed money to pay the rent but he didn't want to panhandle. So the 30-year-old got some garbage bags and put a sign on his back saying he was cleaning the city for donations.
He can have crappy days where he doesn't even make minimum wage, but some days he can make $10 an hour.
Marc has some specific areas where he works, and it's not uncommon for businesses to donate garbage bags and give him a few bucks to clean up their areas.
Marc is talking to faculty at the University of Toronto about starting a pilot project, where panhandlers could meet at the university and then disperse with garbage bags to different locales.

Wow - that's actually very clever. It would work on me anyway.
