Abstract

In recent years the expressive population growth has been raising questions about its organization. One of the main consequences of this accelerated demographic growth, besides irregular occupations, is the increase of the generation of urban solid waste. Aiming the control of this consequence, the solidarity economy through the combination of sociocultural and economic factors, seeks the solidarity development of the involved individuals based on the relationships of trust, represented in this article by the recycling cooperative. The aim of this article was to analyze the management structure of the "Araras Limpa" Cooperative from Araras (SP) from the perspective of solidarity economy. Methodologically, a broad bibliographical review was carried out, allied to the descriptive-qualitative research with a case study through semi-structured interviews. The results suggest that the union of forces and the sum of the efforts of the population through the cooperative in partnership with companies and governments can point the way to the construction of an efficient plan for collection and processing of recyclables.
