Resumo: The activity of recyclable material collectors is configured as a means of social inclusion as it generates funds for the purchase of consumer goods. This essay aims to present aspects of the universe of the work of these collectors for the purpose of generating reflections on the environment, resources and labor. In the task of collecting, sorting, handling and transforming of garbage into a commodity, we found the survival mode of new agents, who expose themselves to the various risks of accidents and health and who are also socially vulnerable. Furthermore, there is no government support of any kind and they are at the mercy of fate in case of accidents, illness, material supply and income. Therefore, it is necessary for professionals working in health facilities and social services to recognize the precarious state of working with the collection of recyclable material and implement protective actions.

O objetivo neste ensaio é apresentar aspectos sobre o universo de trabalho dos catadores e, com isso, gerar reflexões sobre ambiente, recursos e trabalho. Na tarefa de coleta, separação, manuseio e transmutação do lixo em mercadoria, encontramos o modo de sobrevivência de um novo agente, que, ao se expor a diversos riscos de acidentes e de saúde, também se encontra socialmente vulnerável. Não possui qualquer tipo de apoio dos governos, está à mercê da própria sorte em caso de acidentes, adoecimento, oferta de material e rendimento. Faz-se necessário, portanto, que os profissionais atuantes nas unidades de saúde e do serviço social (re)conheçam as fragilidades do trabalho na catação do lixo e implementem ações de proteção.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2012-09-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/5495Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 10 No. 3 (2012) - RIO+20; 763 a 768Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 10 Núm. 3 (2012) - RIO+20; 763 a 768Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 10 n. 3 (2012) - RIO+20; 763 a 7681679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/5495/4215Ferraz, LucimareGomes, Mara Helena de AndreaBusato, Maria Assuntainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-02-23T19:25:18Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/5495Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T09:59:42.542366Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
