The growing generation of urban solid waste is a constant problem that Brazilian cities face over the years, attempts to optimize collection by public-private partnerships are being increasingly used to address this issue. Current systems focus on solving the management of urban waste considering the responsibility of public cleaning services to collect waste generated by society, once it is properly available. The government defines the responsibility for preparing a waste plan for companies with high waste generation and disregards small companies in this analysis, characterizing them as small generators of waste, similar to domestic waste and ceasing their management responsibility. The present work sought to evaluate the main difficulties for the small entrepreneur in adhering to a waste management system, combined with the structures provided and instruments studied by the public authorities to make this management feasible. Therefore, an action plan was carried out in two companies in the region of Sorocaba/SP, in order to understand the local difficulties in developing this type of management. Using the Zero Waste methodology, which includes a situational diagnosis of the companies, gravimetric analysis of the waste generated and an action plan to improve the company's adherence to the management system. The results pointed to the transformation capacity of those involved in adhering to sustainable practices, a new source of income with the recyclable materials selling and the proposition of tools that can assist in public decisionmaking to further facilitate the adherence of small entrepreneurs.
