- Abstract
The entire world is suffering because of the lack of natural resources and one of the ways of recovering resources is accomplished through the reuse of waste. This practice in Brazil has been highlighted by the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), which encourages organizations became more sustainable. Therefore, the Federal University of São Carlos campus Sorocaba is developing some projects about reverse logistics and recycling of materials, proposing an alternative to the destination waste equipment electrical and electronics (WEEE). The main subject of this paper was to evaluate and analyze the results of the use of a collection point of WEEE through a Survey. The project was developed in partnership with an innovation center of a company in the city of Sorocaba, which recycles WEEE collected throughout the country. As results, the study presented the importance of physical maintenance of the collection point, the realization of campaigns to promote environmental awareness of the community and also showed the seasonality of the collected materials. Additionally, it revealed the behavior of the consumer, in the sense of collaboration in the appropriate disposal of WEEE, when there is availability of a specific collection point.
