Support ASMARE recyclers in Belo Horizonte

Support ASMARE recyclers in Belo Horizonte Neighbours in Belo Horizonte can learn from ASMARE, a worker-run association of recyclable collectors that turns street collection and sorting into shared income and dignity. What you can do in Belo Horizonte - Read how ASMARE began with street collectors and Pastoral de Rua support in 1990 (ASMARE on Pastoral do Povo da Rua) - Visit or partner with sorting units in Barro Preto and Prado once you confirm hours with the association - Bring clean, separated recyclables or ask how your school, company, or block can schedule a pickup partnership - Donate through the Pastoral network pages if you want to support training and infrastructure How to join ASMARE is managed by the collectors themselves, with equal sharing of earnings. The organiser page lists two operating units but does not publish a public visitor calendar. Contact the association through the Pastoral do Povo da Rua channels before you drop off material or volunteer. Why it matters in Belo Horizonte Sorted paper, cardboard, and metals stay out of landfills while people who know the city by foot earn a fairer share of the value they recover. Shared galpões turn invisible labour into visible community infrastructure. Find more community projects in Belo Horizonte. Good to know - Where are the units?
