Beyond the garbage. The precariousness of waste pickers of León Guanajuato (México)Más allá de la basura. La precariedad de los pepenadores de León Guanajuato (México)Chia Calvillo, Luis ÁngelRamírez Martínez, José GuadalupeSánchez López, Pamela JacquelineTagle Zamora, Danielpepenadorestrabajo informalcondiciones precarias de trabajored de recuperadores urbanoswaste pickersinformal workprecarious working conditionsnetwork of urban reclaimersThe purpose is to compare the precarious conditions in the informal work of waste separation carried out by scavengers who belong to the municipal program of the Urban Waste Collectors Network of León, Guanajuato with those who are not yet registered. The methodology was mixed qualitative-quantitative, applying 140 questionnaires in 2023 to people who are dedicated to the activity of scavengers. The aim was to characterize the work of scavengers and to know the precarious conditions, as well as health and safety risks and uncertainty. The results show that both groups of scavengers present precarious working conditions such as: insecurity, physical risk, economic uncertainty, problems of access to health services, as well as social rejection. However, scavengers who belong to the municipal program present a slight reduction in the problems they present in their work compared to those who remain unaffiliated. It is concluded that the informal work of scavengers reproduces precarious conditions, suggesting that institutional work must promote social recognition to dignify their work, starting by modifying the public cleaning regulations and considering inclusive recycling measures to change the living conditions of people dedicated to waste recovery.El objetivo es comparar las condiciones de precariedad en el trabajo informal de la separación de residuos realizado por pepenadores que pertenecen al programa municipal de la Red de Recuperadores Urbanos de León, Guanajuato con aquellos que aún no están registrados. La metodología fue mixta cualitativa-cuantitativa aplicando 140 cuestionarios en 2023 a personas que se dedican a la actividad de la pepena, se buscó caracterizar el trabajo de los pepenadores y conocer las condiciones de precariedad, así como riesgos en salud, seguridad e incertidumbre. Los resultados muestran que ambos grupos de pepenadores presentan condiciones precarias de trabajo como son: inseguridad, riesgo físico, incertidumbre económica, problemas de acceso a los servicios de salud, así como rechazo social. Sin embargo, los pepenadores que pertenecen al programa municipal presentan una ligera reducción de las problemáticas que presentan en su trabajo en comparación con los que siguen sin afiliarse. Se concluye que el trabajo informal de los pepenadores reproduce condiciones de precariedad, remitiendo que la labor institucional debe impulsar el reconocimiento social para dignificar su trabajo, partiendo por modificar el reglamento de aseo público y considerar medidas del reciclaje inclusivo para cambiar las condiciones de vida de las personas dedicadas a la recuperación informal de residuos.Universidad de Guadalajara2025-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://expresioneconomica.cucea.udg.mx/index.php/eera/article/view/120710.32870/eera.vi54.1207Expresión Económica.
