Sixty nine people were part of this study; workers from three different recyclable garbage collection cooperatives.

In this questionary the criteria of income classification and social class of the Brazilian Association of Research Institutes (ABIPEME) was incorporated along with the Whoqol Bref Life Quality Scale. It was verified that the workers present a good level of life quality. Regarding the social, economical, cultural and demographic data, there was a dominance of single or married female with children. Regarding the quality of life, there was a significant correlation between the physical and psychological domains and also the correlation between the psychological domains and the social relations. On the other hand, the environmental domain was the one that presented the lowest data regarding quality of life. The hypothesis is that the fact that the workers are unsatisfied with their insufficient incomes, their precarious homes, most of them coming from a very competitive and individualistic economical system and they not having the necessary adaptation that this new system requires, the workers have intervened on the environment domain in a negative way.(AU)
