摘要：The activity of recyclable material collectors is configured as a means of social inclusion as it generates funds for the purchase of consumer goods. This essay aims to present aspects of the universe of the work of these collectors for the purpose of generating reflections on the environment, resources and labor. In the task of collecting, sorting, handling and transforming of garbage into a commodity, we found the survival mode of new agents, who expose themselves to the various risks of accidents and health and who are also socially vulnerable. Furthermore, there is no government support of any kind and they are at the mercy of fate in case of accidents, illness, material supply and income. Therefore, it is necessary for professionals working in health facilities and social services to recognize the precarious state of working with the collection of recyclable material and implement protective actions.
