Summary: The contribution of organized waste pickers has proven important for the value chain of these materials that supply the recycling industry. In addition, organizations are presented as an important tool for income generation, allowing the recognition and labor inclusion of collectors. However, many factors, directly or indirectly, affect the operational activities of the organizations, hampering their work efficiency and economic sustainability. For this reason, these organizations have several disorders that make it impossible to actively establish the recycling market, oligopsony. It is required from the sorting to economies of scale, to negotiate directly with the consumer industries. This study shows that many dysfunctions permeate the scope of training and local culture, interfering on the organization of the environmental sustainability proposal of cities, economic and social organization of collectors, which may cause their premature closure. Thus, we discuss the application of corporate governance in the context of waste pickers organizations, as a selfmanagement strategy that ensures their competitive performance in the recycling market. Through methods and tools of corporate governance, the study points to the use of tools such as technical support to generate behaviors needed by the members, making them managers of the business itself, providing improvements in management and creating superior value for segments customers, besides continuous improvement of productive activities and increasing the economic efficiency of the business.
