STREET TRASHthe accumulation of waste on the streets are due to several factors including too little space in the favella units, so residents opt to put their trash in the street for trash pickers to collect. cassambas (dumpsters) are unconveniently located towards the periphery of the favella and overflow with trash. municipal solid waste management recycles less than 1% annually of all materials.

CATADORES (informal trash pickers)these informal recyclers collect the 99% of all recycled materials. they typically store & sort material in their homes. the problem is this propogates poor hygiene & health hazards, non-standardized recycle practices creating poor quality material, and low profits due to low quality product, space limitations of home directly correlates to supply/demand

FERROS VELHOS (middlemen)live/work typologies with a larger repository for informal collection & offers immediate payment to catadores. Limited storage means materials are sold when capacity is reached are are succeptible to flucations in material market value, creating disincentive to pay higher values to catadores. mechanical limitations on breakdown of material makes for inefficient packing of space

RECYCLE STATIONSferros velhos become part of the sorting system receiving material for sorting and break-ing down into nurdles. tracks catadores % contribution & earnings

INFRASTRUCTURE

COLLECTION NETWORKcatadores no longer have to store recycled material in their homes. they become part of a formal/informal network with collective bargaining leverage over the recycle industry & market

Green Sky Tubes—these protrusions act as both light-well and as air particulate remediation strategy by incorporating indigenous plants that absorb carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, as well as filter other harmful particulates from processing recycled materials.

Thickened Roof—the roof widens and narrows depending on the performance required by the program that inhabits it. At its thinnest it is just an enclosure, at the thickest it contains air quality control equipment and inhabitable space.

Recycle Bank Silo Repository—the safety deposit box storing precious processed recycled materials into tiny nurdles (small beads) that are higher in quality and stack, store, and slide more efficiently.

Industrial Air Filtration—some processes require venting during specific parts of refining into higher quality materials.

Community Meeting Rooms & Classrooms—public/private partnerships in the recycle community requires education, community programming, and empowerment through self-organization & activisim.

Municipal Solid Waste Administrative Offices—since the SP MSW agency currently recycles less than 1% of all materials, this can act as a headquarters to promote the movement towards recycling throughout Sao Paulo.

Postal Boxes—informal recycling is treated as a type of unemployment fallback for faveladores on the margins, several of whom do not have permanent addresses. These mailboxes would provide them a mailing address and more importantly, where they can pickup their paycheck.

Mesh Screen Wall—Sao Paulo’s subtropical climate sees heavy rains and hot humidity. The rain screen allows for massive natural ventilation to keep the air changing for the particulate-emissions involved in processing recycled materials.

Vehicular Circulation—garbage trucks, dump trucks, and cargo hauling trucks are constantly moving product to and from the site. The center of the site hosts bike lockers and enclosed parking for catadore pushcarts.
