The Mercado del Trueque, or barter market, in Mexico City encourages people to bring recyclable materials in exchange for organic products.

The initiative, started by the left-wing city government last year, aims to raise awareness about the value and use of items that would otherwise end up in landfills, and is growing in popularity.
