COOPRESL receives sorted recyclables at its Vila Isabel yard, paying member-owners fair rates for clean material.
What you can do in São Luís
- Deliver paper, cardboard, and plastics separated according to the yard guide (Mãos Pro Futuro cooperatives)
- Schedule institutional loads with the cooperative board before sending trucks
- Join short orientation tours for schools and neighbourhood associations
How to join
Stop by Rua Ceará, Doutor Salomão, s/n, Vila Isabel during operating hours or call ahead for bulk drops.
When & where
Yard hours follow cooperative votes; confirm the current window before hauling heavy loads.
Why it matters in São Luís
Transparent weighing at the gate turns packaging into member wages instead of informal middlemen.
Good to know
- Do you pay me? Individuals may receive scrap value when scales are open; institutions sign contracts.
- What is rejected? Ask staff about dirty or mixed loads to avoid contaminating bales.
