Abstract:

This work is a survey of information from the waste pickers in the South, Southeast and Northeast of Brazil in order to support the development of a collector vehicle and a support system to define roadmaps collection. Thus, the proposed research characterizing the profile of waste pickers; diagnose these working conditions and identify the physical and operational structure of the organizations to which they are linked. To achieve these objectives it was necessary to apply questionnaires to waste pickers from organizations that performed the collect of recyclable materials using human and animal pull vehicles and to waste picker’s organizations. These results were subsequently used for the development of the proposed technologies. It can be concluded that the profession of waste picker still suffers from numerous forms of deprivation, resulting in marginalization, prejudice and exclusion of individuals who live it, becoming indispensable to promote activities that contribute to the real productive inclusion of waste pickers.
