Los recolectores de basura son los trabajadores informales, cada vez más crecientes, sobreviviendo de la basura en los rellenos sanitarios o basureros, resultando en una peculiar forma de vida con repercusiones sociales, psicológicas y en la salud. El objetivo fue describir las representaciones sociales de los colectores sobre su trabajo diario con la basura y la vida social como colectores. Estudio cualitativo, basado en la Teoría de las Representaciones Sociales, utilizando la técnica de análisis de contenido. Entrevistados doce recolectores de un relleno sanitario en Niterói/RJ/Brasil. Las representaciones sociales haya configurado en dos matrices simbólicas, muestreándose una conexión de la basura en su propia imagen experimentando estigma, desamparo y sentimiento de vergüenza delante prejuicio y exclusión social; y señalando también a la dualidad de la inclusión/exclusión y el dilemas entre la necesidad de subsistencia y los riesgos. Los colectores reflejan el impacto psicosocial que sufren por trabajar en la basura, lo que requiere acciones de inclusión por profesionales y del gobierno. Palabras clave: Colectores. Basura / aspectos psicosociales. Estigma. Prejuicio. Representaciones Sociales Os catadores de lixo constituem trabalhadores informais em amplo crescimento que sobrevivem da catação em aterros ou lixões, o que implica um modo peculiar de vida com repercussões sociais, psíquicas e na saúde. O estudo objetivou descrever as representações sociais dos catadores acerca do trabalho cotidiano com lixo e o convívio social como catadores. Trata-se de estudo qualitativo baseado na teoria das representações sociais, no qual se utilizou a técnica de análise de conteúdo. Foram entrevistados 12 catadores de aterro sanitário em Niterói, no Rio de Janeiro. As representações dos catadores configuram-se em duas matrizes simbólicas, as quais mostram a vinculação do lixo à imagem do catador, que vivencia estigma, desamparo e sentimento de vergonha diante do preconceito da sociedade, e exclusão social; além disso, essas matrizes mostram a dualidade exclusão/inclusão e os dilemas entre necessidade de sustento e enfrentamento dos riscos, sem perspectivas de futuro melhor. Conclui-se que os catadores refletem os impactos psicossociais que sofrem por trabalhar no lixo e, por isso, necessitam de ações profissionais e governamentais inclusivas.Editora Mackenzie2012-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://editorarevistas.mackenzie.br/index.php/ptp/article/view/4165The Journal Of Psychology: Theory and Practice ; Vol. 14 No. 3 (2012); 34-47Revista Psicología: Teoría y Práctica; Vol. 14 Núm. 3 (2012); 34-47Revista Psicologia: Teoria e Prática; v. 14 n. 3 (2012); 34-471980-69061516-3687reponame:Psicologia (Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie.
