Join Salvador co-op selective collection

Join Salvador solid waste co-op pickup routes CAMA (Centro de Arte e Meio Ambiente) shows how Salvador neighbours, schools, and workplaces can hand dry waste to worker-owned recycling cooperatives instead of mixing everything in one bin. You keep paper, metal, glass, and plastics in use while income stays with catadoras and catadores who sort the load. What you can do in Salvador - Read how Coleta Seletiva Solidária works and which fractions cooperatives accept (CAMA guide) - Separate clean, dry recyclables at home: paper and cardboard, plastics, metals, glass, used cooking oil, and small electronics as listed on the page - Match your address or organisation to the nearest listed cooperative and ask how they collect in your district - Invite your condo, school, or workplace to register as a partner so pickups become regular rather than one-off How to join The CAMA article is a starting map, not a city contract. Each cooperative sets its own route and capacity. Contact the cooperative that covers your area through the channels on the CAMA page and confirm what they can collect this week. Why it matters in Salvador When recyclables leave the mixed bin, fewer trucks rush to landfill and more families earn from material that still has value. Salvador gains quieter streets and cooperatives gain dignity in formal work. Find more community projects in Salvador. Good to know - Does CAMA collect at my door? CAMA coordinates the network; collection is run by the cooperative you contract with. - Must oil and electronics be separated? The CAMA list treats used frying oil and e-waste as their own streams alongside paper, plastic, metal, and glass. - Can a school join? The page explicitly invites public, private, and religious institutions to partner with a nearby cooperative.
