Two methodologies were used: a qualitative approach based on interviews and action research. It is proposed that a processing and selling facility for recycled waste be created and that it be managed by a second-degree cooperative. It is estimated that the implementation of this proposal could increase the average income of waste pickers by 67.44%. |
