This work aimed to evaluate the change in environmental perception of recyclable material collectors associated with ARENSA (Association of Recyclable Materials of Our Nossa Senhora Aparecida) Campina Grande-PB. The formation process of the collectors of recyclable materials takes place since 2008. However, the exploratory research, conducted from January to February 2012, was built from the comparative analysis of data collected in 2010 and 2012. The change in perception has provided collectors of recyclable materials entering them into the social environment and allowed the understanding of the value of the occupation of the current context. Moreover, perceived job satisfaction shows that the group holds great esteem, apart from the idea that scavenging of waste is lower activity and shameful, contrary to the Brazilian scenario. Despite advances originated the process of environmental education since 2008, there are challenges to overcome, among them worthy monthly income and infrastructure conditions.
