The visits to the undertaking of collection services and organizations of waste pickers had the purpose to identify the infrastructure of organizations and raise information cuali-quantitative that subsidized the survey. The results showed that the municipality has an association and a cooperative in operation, on average the selective collection gathering 70 tons per month of recyclable materials which represent only 3.5% of total generation of Urban Solid Residues. The company responsible for the collection draws up an annual Plan of Environmental Education that provides for partnerships with the municipal executive and with private entities in activities to different local organizations and state and municipal schools. It is concluded from the diagnosis that the Municipal Public Power performs discrete actions of environmental education, those in partnership with the company holder of collection services, and supervision regarding the participation of the population in selective collection system is non-existent.
