R E S U M O A separacao de residuos solidos, como fonte de subsistencia, nas ruas ou lixoes, ainda e uma realidade em paises em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil. A gestao de residuos solidos (GRS), quando nao planejada de forma integrada, inevitavelmente, afeta o elo mais fragil dessa cadeia os—catadores. Na Regiao Metropolitana do Recife (RMR), o encerramento dos lixoes da Muribeca e de Aguazinha, na ultima decada, desmobilizou um contingente estimado de 1300 catadores. Adicionalmente, nenhum estudo previo sobre os possiveis efeitos do fechamento desses lixoes sobre mercado informal de reciclagem foi realizado. Nesse contexto, este estudo teve como objetivo fornecer suporte ao entendimento da situacao atual dos catadores, propondo medidas que possam auxiliar na integracao do mercado informal de reciclagem a GRS municipal, apos o fechamento dos lixoes. Por meio da utilizacao de questionarios estruturados como ferramenta de pesquisa, os resultados obtidos neste estudo delineiam um perfil dos catadores de residuos em relacao a idade, renda e forma de trabalho, alem de mostrar um panorama geral sobre o mercado informal de reciclagem. Palavras-chave: Catadores; Mercado informal de reciclagem; Cooperativas; Integracao; Gestao de residuos solidos; Paises em desenvolvimento. A B S T R A C T Waste picking, as a source of subsistence, whether in the street or in open dumpsites, is still a reality in developing countries, such as Brazil. Solid waste management, if not planned in an integrated way, inevitably affects the most fragile links in the chain of such management—the waste pickers. In the Recife Metropolitan Region (RMR), the closure of the Muribeca and Aguazinha dumpsites in the last decade disrupted a contingent of waste pickers, which was estimated to consist of more than 1300 people. In addition, no previous and consolidated study took place about the effects of the closure of those dumpsites on the informal recycling market. In this context, this work aims to provide support to understand waste pickers’ current situation and proposes measures that can result in the informal recycling market’s official integration after the closure of the dumpsites. Using the structured questionnaires as an interview tool, the results obtained in this study reveal the profile of the waste pickers, including age, income, and employment, as well as an overall profile of the informal recycling market. Keywords: Waste pickers; Informal recycling market; Cooperative; Integration; Waste management; Developing countries.
