Cooperviva: análise das possibilidades e limites do trabalho dos catadores de resíduos recicláveis de Rio Claro (SP)

The issue of waste, historically, has been getting worse as a result of the world´s population increase and in order to meet their needs the consumption of natural resources and the generation has been constantly increasing, especially in large urban centers. The people involved in the collection of recyclable solid waste, called from now on as collectors, are responsible for about 90% of the waste sent to recycling industry in Brazil. Apart from having a role in the economy, the collectors have specific knowledge and skills necessary to identify, collect, sort and sell these wastes. This study aims to examine the possibilities and limits of COOPERVIVA – Cooperativa de Trabalho dos Catadores de Material Reaproveitável de Rio Claro - as an instrument of the municipal solid waste management system, and its experience as a recyclable waste collectors cooperative. The methodological procedures of this study rely on the literature research on the experiences of cooperative and the management of municipal solid waste. In addition to this review of the literature, fortnightly visits to the cooperative were held in order to experience their daily activities, and testimonies of the cooperative members were collected as well as documents and reports produced by COOPERVIVA. The results of this analysis are considerations of the limitations of the cooperative and recommendations aimed at maximizing their potential as a tool of the domestic solid waste management system of and as a recyclable waste collectors cooperative. Among other things it can be concluded that the urban selective collection of waste challenges the community to the reinvention of life and the relationships each individual with the planet.

Educação e economia solidária: contribuições da pedagogia da alternância para a formação dos catadores de materiais recicláveis

This text presents the Pedagogy of Alternating methodology, highlighting its contribution to re-think the formation of catadores of recycling materials (rubbish collectors). Whereas the use of this approach in the urban area is unusual, the goal of the article is to initiate a debate to promote further elaborations. Initially an overview of the Pedagogy of Alternating is presented and the main instruments used in this approach are commented. Two theoretical and methodological issues are indicated as challenges for catadores formation: the relations between Education and Work and the relations between Theory and Practice. The need to overcome dichotomy between these dimensions of human activity (that predominates in today's society) is defended. The catadores work reveals the exclusion of these workers of less organized sectors of production chains, with few opportunities to obtain better income and qualification. Overcome this gap requires an intense training to turn the catadores in recycling workers . To reach this goal the implementation of Alternating experiences between study and work in cooperatives and schools is not enough. A deep transformation is needed over the ways and subjects of both study and work, in order to create emancipating activities that promotes a full development of these workers.

Trabalho e saúde: o cotidiano dos catadores de lixo reciclável

The present article is an investigation / action regarding the working conditions for pickers of recyclable waste in a medium-sized city in the state of São Paulo, mainly on the health / illness process, problems related to social security and conditions of autonomy and citizenship. We use the constructs of social psychology as theoretical. The recycling of urban garbage, as the literature indicates, is not being treated as just part of the solution to environmental problems, but also has been characterized as a source of income and livelihood for many people, with no other options in life. From the interviews were semistructured, and with the method of analysis the meaning core were identified issues related to the holding of by scrap collectors, prejudice existing in relation to the activity performed, poor housing conditions, the need to social recognition and the difficulty of recyclable garbage collectors in forming a group in which they can articulate and fight for their demands. With this study, we intended to indicate suggestions for improvements in these health professionals and encourage individual and collective reflections on the condition of meetings and also through the distribution of leaflets.
