Include waste pickers in organic waste management

Santa Catarina leads Latin America The 2025 regional report names Florianópolis / Santa Catarina as Brazil’s, and the region’s, reference for recyclers participating in organic-waste management. Waste-picker leaders host compost tours and trainings that strengthen neighbourhood sorting and keep organics out of landfills. What you can do - Join a Brasil Composta Cultiva compost tour led by catadoras and catadores in the Florianópolis area. - Separate organics at home and coordinate with local picker cooperatives on collection routes. Why it matters When recyclers co-manage organics, methane falls and livelihoods rise, a replicable model the report highlights as a top 2024 success across Latin America.
