Campaign to encourage selective collection will be at the Laranjeiras street market this Friday

This Friday (July 11th), Comlurb is promoting a campaign to encourage selective waste collection at the street market on Rua Engenheiro Moacir Reis, in Laranjeiras, in the South Zone, starting at 7 a.m. The campaign began in March 9, in highly visible locations in the North, South, Central, and West zones, with a focus on squares and beaches. Since last year, the actions have been concentrated in street markets throughout the city. This Friday's event will feature Chegando de Surpresa, a musical group composed of street cleaners who perform songs about proper waste disposal.

During the campaign, informative pamphlets are distributed, and technicians answer questions and provide guidance to the population. The selective collection service covers 117 neighborhoods in the city. All the material is delivered free of charge to 30 waste picker cooperatives, which separate and sell the products. The recyclable waste thus guarantees work and income for the cooperative members, benefiting approximately 450 families.

Currently, collection at residents' doors is done once a week, on alternate days to household collection. The population can find out about the day and time of collection on each street in the service page. If the street is not included, the request for inclusion can be made through the City Hall's Call Center 1746.

For the recycling cycle to be increasingly successful, it is essential that residents participate in this process, promoting the separation of waste in their homes. Comlurb ensures that all street markets in the city are cleaned, sweeping the entire area of ​​the market and its surroundings, and cleaning with reused water. The Company asks for the collaboration of street vendors so that waste is properly stored in containers or plastic bags to facilitate the work of street cleaners and speed up the cleaning service.
