Resumo: | The purpose of the article is to discuss the identity of the garbage collector in the present time, and analyze what led this person to engage in such activity. Thus, we carried out an essentially qualitative methodology (based on field observations and interviews with 10 collectors) that could provide the knowledge concerning their life story and garbage collection. Results indicate that these workers are mostly men, with low level of education, age group between 40 and 81 years, with former devaluated and depreciated occupations and no informal economic activities. In this in case, one cannot ignore the inherent factors to the activity: low wages, precarious working conditions, and factors generated from it (health problems, competition, solidarity, prejudice, discrimination) that mark the itineraries that these actors of the garbage collection explore. |

Para tanto, realizamos pesquisa bibliográfica e de campo que possibilitaram compreender a trajetória de vida dos catadores relacionada ao trabalho com o lixo. Os resultados indicam que eles são, sobretudo, homens, com baixo nível de escolaridade, mais de 40 anos, possuindo um histórico em que suas ocupações são desvalorizadas e subalternizadas. Neste caso, nossas análises consideraram os fatores inerentes à atividade do lixo: baixos rendimentos, precárias condições de trabalho...
