Solidary Selective Waste Collection:

• ne Social Technology

Waste pickers ask people to separate recyclables from waste and collect the material on a specific day of week, taking them to their sheds. In this contact, they teach citizens about what is or is not recyclable, and mobilise them to separate, once this will become an income to a waste pickers family.

Solidary Selective Waste Collection:

• ne Social Technology

Waste pickers organize themselves as collective enterprises - cooperatives and associations - and so they can be contracted by municipalities as part of the solid waste management systems. In their sheds, the waste pickers sort manually the recyclables (plastics, metals, glass and papers) and prepare pressed bales, selling them to middlemen, that finally sell the material to the industry.

• The geographical concentra?on of recycling industry diminishes

recyclable material prices, does not allow trading some materials and jus?fies the ac?on of midlemen;

• A segmented and oligopsonic market with several actors that plays

different roles and have specific needs;

• Many informal actors and great varia?on on recyclable material

prices with raw recycled materials prices linked to global commodi?es prices;

• The Waste pickers Coopera?ves organized on solidarity economy,

the produc?ve chain organized on capitalist principles : it is necessary to build strategies and tools to promote this dialogue and rela?onship;

• Lack of public programs to promote waste recycling;
• Most important bokleneck is Selec?ve Collec?on of solid waste;

From now...

• Understanding the links and results of

waste pickers’ work in the recovery of resources

• To describe and to assess the contribu?on
• f the inclusive waste management on

implemen?ng Circular Economy

• To perceive the influence of the waste

pickers' work on the climate change indicators and how inclusive waste management collaborate to resilient ci?es
