Support Reciclamp co-ops in Campinas

Back Campinas Reciclamp cooperative network Reciclamp is a second-degree cooperative in Campinas that bundles four catador groups for joint sales, logistics, and training. Worker-owners gain social security coverage, holiday pay, and stronger prices for recyclables. What you can do in Campinas - Read how Coleta Seletiva Solidária puts catadores in the lead (Reciclamp programme) - Contract pickup for your building or business through the central desk at Rua Dr. Costa Aguiar - Visit member cooperatives Antônio da Costa Santos, São Bernardo, Unidos da Vitória, or Projeto Reciclar - Ask about environmental education and occupational health support for associated groups How to join Businesses and condominiums negotiate service through Reciclamp contact channels. Households can align with building-level contracts or deliver clean separated material as agreed with the cooperative. Why it matters in Campinas Collective bargaining stopped a race to the bottom on scrap prices and funded trucks, PPE, and office staff shared across four groups. Campinas keeps more material out of landfill while wages stay inside worker cooperatives. Find more community projects in Campinas. Good to know - When did the central form?
