• Abstract:

  The Solid Waste Sorting and

  Composting Plants are considered an option

  for the proper disposal of urban solid waste,

  especially in small municipalities. Several people

  directly or indirectly are involved, generating

  jobs, income, increasing local economy and reducing waste. Some studies indicate that

  people who work with “trash” often feel devalued by society. The objective of this study

  was to conduct an analysis of the perception of the work developed by the employees

  of the “Solid Waste Sorting and Composting Plant-SWSCP” in the Municipality of

  Montanha-ES. Interviews were conducted by applying a semi-structured questionnaire

  to 26 employees. On the questionnaire were inserted questions about age, schooling,

  working time, duty, appreciation of the work, discrimination, environmental issues,

  occupational accidents and ways of improvements.The results showed that the

  employees are motivated and aware of the importance of the work developed for the

  environment as well for society and that the improvement of financial conditions and

  employment stability are the outstanding impacts.
