Sort recyclables for Coopertinga in Porto Alegre

Sort recyclables for Coopertinga in Porto Alegre Residents in Porto Alegre can support Coopertinga, a worker recycling cooperative, by separating dry recyclables at home so city selective collection can reach their triage unit in Restinga. What you can do in Porto Alegre - Follow Coopertinga on Facebook for cooperative news and contact options - Keep paper, plastic, metal, and glass out of your regular trash when your street has selective collection - Read how triage cooperatives employ neighbours in the Humanista profile of catadores - Ask your building group to post separation rules on the laundry wall How to join Separation at home is the everyday action. Cooperatives sort what the city delivers to their unit. For visits or donations, contact Coopertinga through the Facebook page and confirm hours before you travel.
