"Klin Salone", which means "Clean Sierra Leone" in the local Krio language, is a government-backed scheme to employ some of the thousands of jobless young men in the city as bin men - taking the rubbish collected to the city's main dumps.
Jacob Sannoh, 20, is one of about 300 men paid 150,000 leones ($50) a month to shovel dirt at transit points.
"This is my first job," he says. "I'm doing my job perfectly. The city was so dirty and I am doing this to clean it."
