Send recyclables to Pro-Recife cooperative

Route building recyclables to Pro-Recife in Recife The Pro-Recife cooperative turns separated dry waste into wages for worker-owners who sort paper, plastic, metal, and glass in Recife. Founded in 2006, the group runs professional pickup for registered buildings and teaches neighbours what belongs in the recycling stream. What you can do in Recife - Learn what coleta seletiva means and which packaging can return to industry (Pro-Recife blog) - Separate organic waste from recyclables at home before any pickup or drop-off - Ask Pro-Recife whether your building can join its collection route for the metropolitan area - Mobilise neighbours to gather enough clean volume for a shared pickup day How to join The cooperative asks groups with steady volume to get in touch through its public channels before adding an address to a route. Check the blog and cooperative contacts for current registration steps. Why it matters in Recife Each bag kept out of open dumps means less methane and more paid shifts inside the cooperative shed. Recife keeps more material circulating while workers gain formal cooperative membership. Find more community projects in Recife. Good to know - Does Pro-Recife only work in one zone?
