Resumen
This article aims to present the system of selective collection in Natal/RN, as well as to characterize the physical and human resources of the two cooperatives of recyclable materials from the city, in the years 2012 and 2013. Such characterization occurred through a investigation of reality. The research consisted of a case study applied in nature exploratory and descriptive, with the methodological tools technical visits and semi structured interviews; from which we could obtain data regarding the history of selective collection, but also about various aspects of cooperatives. Based on the research, it is clear that cooperatives have a precarious structure that directly affects the development of the activity and the quality of life of collectors involved in the recycling chain.
