“…The education and training of organised waste pickers expand the possibilities of these professionals, who will have the skills, for example, to use information technology (georeferenced systems and communication with the citizen) in selective collection models (Hasugian et al, 2019; Rebehy et al, 2017), as well as participating in the reverse logistics of electronic waste (Ghisolfi et al, 2017).…”

Education and training: Key solution to self-management and economic sustainability of waste pickers organisations

Being a waste picker is not considered a profession in the eyes of society. One reason is that it does not require professional qualifications or training. Thus, most waste pickers are individuals who had difficulty entering the labour market, mainly due to low education levels. As members of waste pickers organisations (WPOs), they have difficulties in practicing self-management and, consequently, in maintaining the WPO’s economic sustainability. This is a barrier to waste pickers’ inclusion in the integrated solid waste management, but it can be overcome with investment in their education and professional training. However, it is not clear how this can be accomplished. This article presents guidelines for the education and training of organised waste pickers. These guidelines were developed based on socioeconomic information with a focus on education and training collected from interviews with waste pickers (n = 215) of 24 Brazilian WPOs. The potentials and vulnerabilities of this socioeconomic profile allowed the elaboration of the main following guidelines: the classroom must be the WPO itself; a mentor is needed to conduct the education and training programme using a non-formal teaching and learning method; the content should be defined collectively, based on the knowledge of the organisation’s members and the daily WPO’s issues. In addition to isolated actions, these guidelines should be included in public policy programmes.

According to the World Bank report, Colombia generated 5.6% (13 million tons per year) of municipal solid waste in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2016. About 30% of this waste came from the three main cities of the country, Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali. Evaluation of the performance of municipal solid waste management systems is important for reducing environmental and public health impacts in cities. Wasteaware benchmark indicators have been used worldwide for monitoring those systems. The results of the adaptation of this methodology to the Context of a Latin American Country are presented in this research. The solid waste comprehensive management policy and regulatory framework in Colombia were considered. As a case study, the adaptation of Wasteaware was implemented using the data from the Cali solid waste management system for 2019. The results of the evaluation for Cali indicate that system presents a high overall performance (91%). Cali achieved the highest performance when compared to other Latin American cities. The implementation of this management instrument in Colombian cities will provide sufficient and relevant information regarding the municipal solid waste management systems. It is expected that this initiative will be replicated in other cities in Latin America.

To support the activities of Waste Pickers in collecting valuable waste, massive information is needed through the availability of valuable trash information obtained from the public, government, and industry (Information Providers). The provision of information socially supports the activities of Waste Pickers in order to obtain sufficient income. For this reason, the use of information systems has become one of the media for Waste Pickers to obtain actual information. The involvement of the government becomes support in the delivery of information both online and offline. The information system that is designed will map where the available valuable used items come from the Information Provider. Design of information systems through needs analysis that was submitted in the initial research, to further carry out the design and construction of the whole system. The design of the view of all elements of the information system through a prototype model, namely procedures, data, brainware, software, hardware, and network. The purpose of the design of the information system is to obtain a media that can fully distribute information to Waste Pickers to help increase their income.
