- Solid Waste Selective collection programs Please, could someone give make some corrections? Thanks in advance. ----------------- According to the Brazilian National Solid Waste Policy, recycling is part of the final adequate destination of waste. In order to be recycled waste goes through the following stages: selective collection, sorting and recycling. In order to get efficiency it is fundamental that waste generators segregate their waste into recycling fractions, organic fractions and tailings. Therefore, considering the importance of adequate segregation of waste by its generators, the general aim of this research is to analyze the behavior of Maringaenses people concerning selective collection and to analyze operational aspects of that collection. Operational and economic aspects of selective collection, including individual recyclable waste pickers, recyclable waste pickers cooperatives and merchants of recyclable waste were described. In order to analyze the population behavior a questionnaire was applied to a probabilistic sample of 384 households. In order to analyze operational aspects of recyclable waste collection interviews with two selective collection managers, seven waste pickers cooperatives and six individual recyclable waste pickers were carried out. In order to describe economic aspects of recycling, a questionnaire was applied to waste pickers cooperatives, individual recyclable waste pickers and merchants of recyclable waste. Results indicate that: the main difficult to segregate recyclable waste at households are lack of regularity of selective collection; trust in the selective collection program is fundamental to its success; time and effort required to segregate recyclable waste are the main barriers to the existence of an active participation in the selective collection program; participants and non-participants of the selective collection program have similar difficulties to participate actively; currently total amount of recyclable waste represents 12% of the total amount of recyclable waste that could be collected; expansion of recyclable waste sorting at cooperatives depends on more cooperatives and merchants of recyclable waste; location policy of recycling points should avoid places with no flow of people and lack of local promotion; income in recyclable waste cooperatives is similar to income of individual recyclable waste pickers; cooperatives have different physical and economic efficiencies. Suggestions for future research are proposed.February 22, 201810
- Strategies for cost reduction in household municipal solid waste collection: a multiple study case As the world population increases , there is growing need in expanding municipal solid waste services in developing countries. There’s a lack of financial resources to bear the costs of waste handling. Therefore, there’s a need to develop waste collection cost reduction strategies. This work identifies strategies used by four municipalities in the state of Paraná, Brazil, to lower costs with household solid waste collection. It assesses the importance given to some strategies by the municipalities and identifies the parameters used to design and monitor waste collection services. A questionnaire about strategies and parameters established by Brazilian Association of Technical Standards and United Nations Human Settlements Programme was applied. Results indicate that the municipalities have different knowledge regarding strategies and collection parameters. The research indicates all municipalities know that there is a need to adapt to the better waste collection practices especially those regarding the use of public containers, performance monitoring, adequacy of collection frequency to waste generation, adequacy of collection vehicles to waste density and time of collection.August 28, 201600

La vida nos propone desafios y oportunidades. Ahora me gusta aprender el español y para mi eso es un desafio, pero también es una oportunidad, pues puedo hablar con mis vecinos de otros países.January 27, 201650
- Delays and advances I've heard many people saying that they don't have enough time to. But, is it always true? I feel that a deep investigation can provide the correct answer. I believe many times we do what is not needed at a moment and we neglect what is really needed at a moment. We waste our time like scarce water going through a sink hole. Then we face many delays in our life activities. The solution could be advance other activities in order to get more time. Is it fair? Well, when we say yes to something we automatically say no to something else.January 22, 201600

- Retrasos y adiantamentos He escuchado muchas veces la gente diciendo que no tiene tiempo. Pero siempre eso es verdad? Creo que una investigación más exacta puede dar la respuesta. Lo que pasa es que muchas veces no hacemos lo que es necesario y en cambio hacemos lo que no es necesario. Entonces nuestro tiempo, como el água escasa, se va por el sumidero. Y después, los retrasos comienzan a surgir. La solución es adelantar las otras cosas que tenemos que hacer. Pero eso es justo? La verdad es que cuando decimos sí para alguna cosa siempre decimos no para el resto.January 20, 201640
- I want changes Today, I began thinking differently. I began to value actions more than plans. Words and thoughts are beauty and intelligent. In the crowded of advices there is wisdom. But doing something makes the difference. Doing is not as beauty as ideas are but it keeps life working. You've got to have actions and work in order to get a change. Actions don’t need to have the perfection of ideas. I’d rather make mistakes and correct them then avoid mistakes and remain in the old situation.January 19, 201640
