This text is the product of analyzes carried out from the aggravation of social ills produced by the pandemic of COVID 19, which revealed numerous expressions of the social issue in Brazil already experienced by millions of formal and informal workers from the loss of social rights aggravated by the advent of the health crisis. The analytical focus turned to the socio-environmental area, specifically to analyze the impacts of the pandemic on the work of recyclable material collectors in the country. A segment that has been losing space on the public agenda due to government neglect and disease in the world, it also ended up losing jobs due to the nature of the activity, in which contamination by the New Coronavirus is effective.
