Description:

In Latin America, more than two million people collect solid waste and in Peru there are 100,000; these people are called recyclers. Unfortunately, until now the Peruvian Government has not recognized the work done by recyclers as part of the formal public cleaning system. In this scenario, on June 1st, 2008 the Movimiento Nacional de Recicladores del Peru (MNRP) was created. MNRP organizes, manages and works for recyclers that are trying to improve their income while contributing to the protection of the environment and benefiting citizens, businesses and municipalities. Ciudad Saludable and MNRP promote activities aimed to strengthen technical skills of men and women working as recyclers so that they have access to better opportunities. So far, we have conducted the following activities:

• Workshop “Business Opportunities” on January 20 and 21. Its goal was to provide recyclers from all over Peru information about …

We are currently working on:

• “Promotion of the Recycler Law” Nº 2819: its goal is to formalize the work conducted by 100,000 recyclers nationwide.

Goals:

• Implement institutional communication strategies.
• Disseminate the corporate work done by MNRP and its institutional projects in mass media at the national and international level.
• Organize training events for members of MNRP.
• Strengthen MNRP through the incorporation of new associations.

Results:

• Approval of the Recycler Law (File 2819)
• Strengthening of MNRP
• Incorporation of the new association in the Public Registry
• Publication of the magazine "The Recycler"
• Training workshops
• Generation of funds
• Collection centers

Lessons Learned:

• Optimization of communications within MNRP and between MNRP and the outside.
• Improvement of institutional relations with public and private entities.
• Collective lessons learned for all stakeholders involved in the recycling activity (recycler, municipality, technical team, among others).
