Feira Mais Castro will have new stages in November

The Feira Mais program, which combines environmental preservation and food security, will have new stages of care in Castro on November 12, 13 and 19. The program includes neighborhoods of the city and inland communities, encouraging the correct destination of recyclable materials and the exchange for food produced by farmers of the municipality.

Since the beginning of the year, the initiative has already benefited 4,849 people in 2026. To date, 93 tons of recyclable materials have been collected and 47.7 tons of food have been distributed. The program has also received more than R$ 500,000 in investments, which contribute to the maintenance and expansion of the activities.

Care in urban and rural areas

In this round, rural locations will be served such as Colonia Santa Leopoldina, Terra Nova, São Sebastião, Garibaldi, Agostinhos, Pereiras, Guararema and Rio Abaixo, as well as collection points in the urban area: Rosário, Cras Consulesa and Jayr Lopes School. The distribution of the points seeks to facilitate the access of the population, both in the urban perimeter and in the most remote communities.

The diversity of locations reflects the scope of the program, which reaches different regions of the municipality. At each stage, residents have the opportunity to contribute to the meio ambiente while ensuring fresh food for their families.

How to participate in the exchange

To participate, it is necessary to bring clean and dry recyclable materials. Those who deliver more than 10 kilos receive a food kit with varied products grown by local farmers. The guideline is that participants bring only materials accepted by the program, always clean and dry.

Bathroom and kitchen waste, foam, rubber, leather, lamps and packaging with aluminum inside, such as coffee packs, cookies and snacks, are not received. This screening ensures the quality of the material intended for recycling and avoids contamination.

Social and environmental impact

The initiative combines environmental preservation, food security and the strengthening of family farming, encouraging the participation of the population in the separation of waste and in the proper disposal of materials. By exchanging recyclables for food, the program creates a virtuous cycle that benefits both the meio ambiente and local producers.

The expressive numbers of 2026 demonstrate community adherence. The 93 tons of recyclables collected prevent these materials from being disposed of irregularly, while the 47.7 tons of food distributed reinforce the food security of thousands of families.

The organization's guidelines

“The collaboration of the population is fundamental to ensure the quality of the collection and the correct destination of recyclable materials,” the secretary advises. The active participation of residents is essential to the success of the program, which depends on the engagement of all to maintain the regularity of collections.

The organizers emphasize the importance of following the rules of separation and cleaning of materials. This facilitates the work of the teams and ensures that items can be effectively recycled, generating income and reducing the environmental impact.

Schedule of the next stage

On November 12, the collection in the Santa Leopoldina Colony takes place at 10:30, in front of the Church. The point of the Consulesa CRAS will be attended at 13:30, in front of the CRAS. The full schedule of the other places and times can be consulted on the official channels of the city hall.

The expectation is that the new steps will further expand the scope of the program, consolidating the Feira Mais as a public policy of reference in Castro. The continuity of the actions depends on the involvement of the community, which has responded positively to the calls.
