Abstrakt
Following the promulgation of the National Solid Waste Policy in 2010, legal
provisions, government programs and sectoral agreements have been implemented, but without
the expected efficiency in relation to recycling. It should be noted that Cooperatives of Recyclable
Material Pickers (CRMP) should play a leading role in this regard, but they do not have adequate
management to be economically, socially and environmentally sustainable, depending on
assistance to maintain the activity. Aiming to elucidate this issue, in this paper was made an
institutional diagnosis of the category of waste pickers using the Gramacho region in the city of
Duque de Caxias (Rio de Janeiro) as a case study. It was carried out an evaluation of the historical
context of the neighbourhood, and it was drawn up a semi-structured questionnaire in 12 of the
18 cooperatives in the region. The data were interpreted through a SWOT matrix and the Venn
diagram. A matrix was proposed and elaborated with 15 sustainability indicators specific to the
CRMC reality in order to evaluate and monitor the management of cooperatives. After collecting
the primary data, it was possible to validate the matrix of indicators with indexes of cultural,
economic, political and ecological sustainability of the cooperatives. It was found that the matrix
of indicators facilitated the understanding of the data and the comparison between the indicators.
This tool can help decision-making, creation of action plans and identification of demands by the
cooperative waste pickers themselves, without the presence of an analyst or technician.
