Résumé:
in the face of the current scenario of Solid Residues, some laws were created in
various parts of the country, giving isolated treatment and sometimes ineffective
to solve problems concerning inadequate destination of solid waste. Only with
the promulgation of the National Politic of Solid Residues (PNRS), Federal Law
No. 12,305, dated 02 August 2010 and its Decree Regulator (Federal Decree
No. 7404 of December 23, 2010) appeared an important regulatory mark in the
entire national territory, encouraging the participation of pickers of recyclable
materials in the systems of solid waste management as a means of social and
economic inclusion. In the city of Campina Grande-PB exists the Workers
Cooperative of Recyclable Materials (COTRAMARE) and the Cooperative of
Scavengers of Recyclable Materials of Campina Grande (CATAMAIS)
organizations that are formalized, without informal scavengers of recyclable
materials, which act door to door in search of recyclable materials for marketing.
With the analysis of the potential viability of socioeconomic inclusion of
recyclable material scavengers in cooperatives from the generation of Urban
Solid Residues in the municipality of Campina Grande - PB, this study sought to
obtain information from a greater number of individuals, aiming to disseminate
the importance of inclusion of solid residues scavengers in Cooperatives and /
or Associations from the socioeconomic potential of recycling of municipal solid
residues in the municipality. From the use of the software "VERDES®", it was
tested the support ability of cooperatives recyclable material scavengers. Thus,
it is estimated that this research will provide a better observation of the reality of
solid residues scavengers in Campina Grande - PB, offering contributions for
new research to be done afterward and projects consolidated in favor of
improvement of current and future cooperatives and/or associations of
Recyclable Materials Scavengers, it shows real socioeconomic numbers of life
of solid residues scavengers and economic capacity existing in the municipality
from solid residues generated by the population. We conclude that the recycling
of solid waste, from the point of view of environment, is indisputable, in face of
the fact that all production of goods produced in all countries sooner or later end
up being thrown in the environment, unless to be recycled. Its technical
viability, in general, can be considered ensured in face of advanced
technological processing of materials in recent decades. Its economic viability,
on the other hand, only becomes evident when considering the full costs of not
recycling residues and projects that can be developed, constructed and
executed to create changes in organizations of community of solid residues
scavengers, allowing their inclusion in labor market.
