Piedade's open-air market will host its first campaign to encourage selective waste collection in 2026.

Comlurb will hold its first selective waste collection incentive campaign of 2026 this Saturday (January 17th), with an event scheduled for the street market on Rua Teresa Cavalcante, in Piedade, in the North Zone. Since March 2023, the campaign has been present in highly visible locations throughout the municipality, focusing on squares, beaches, and street markets. The Company completed 53 events in 2025, distributing informational pamphlets and having technicians present to guide the public.

Selective waste collection serves 117 neighborhoods in the city. All materials are delivered free of charge to 30 waste picker cooperatives, which separate and sell the products. Recyclable waste thus guarantees work and income for the cooperative members, benefiting approximately 450 families. Currently, door-to-door collection is done once a week, on alternate days to the regular household waste collection. Residents can find out the day and time of collection for each street at [website/link - implied but not explicitly stated in the original text]. 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's crucial that residents participate in this process by ensuring the separation of recyclable waste in their homes. Comlurb ensures the cleanliness of all street markets in the city, sweeping the entire market and surrounding area and performing hydraulic cleaning with recycled water. The company asks for the vendors' cooperation in ensuring that waste is properly disposed of in containers or plastic bags to facilitate the work of street cleaners and speed up the cleaning service.
