Pro: Recycling initiatives both educate and increase participation in recycling. One incentive for recycling provides fresh produce in exchange for recyclables. Overall, the city recycles 22% of is solid waste.
Con: There is no tradition of participation. Recycling is proselytized to the middle class but is kept alive by carrinheiros (cart people), who are paid for collecting garbage. Is it ethical to use the poor for such purposes? There is only one landfill, and it will be exhausted by the end of next year.
