The Waste & Citizenship Forums are new participatory channels for formulation of policies for urban solid waste management that join NGOs, waste pickers´ associations and public governments in an effort to improve standards on this area, especially by tackling social issues faced by pickers. Implemented on the national level under the leadership of the UNICEF, back in 1999, today there are more than 23 State Forums and also many implemented on the municipal level. This paper discuss their objectives, strategies and main impacts and, also, some of the challenges. Special attention is given to the experience of the Waste & Citizenship Forum of Minas Gerais State.
