> that can be difficult for a number of reasons.

Not least of which is that they'd almost certainly need to be paid far, far more than they're making when they do it on their own.

Not that I disagree, though: overall the idea/point you made is a good one.

On the other hand their productivity in a well organized sorting facility might go up, such that you're paying them a fair and legal hourly wage but the price per sorted item remains similar. Maybe.

There are other complications though. The willingness of the public to employ such people, and the willingness of such people to be employed.
