This article aims to point some advances, limitations and challenges of the Solidarity Economic Enterprises (SEE) of waste pickers to promote the improvement in their work conditions and the advance in the chain of production of recycling. With the systematization of the information available on the National System of Solidarity Economy (SIES) we elaborated an overview of ESS pickers in Brazil considering its forms of organization, the difficulties experienced in the commercialization of the products, among others. We also discussed some legislation advances for the waste recycling sector and for these enterprises. It is expected that the results and reflections presented here can contribute with relevant information to guide public policies, to encourage investment, to collaborate with consulting processes and to develop new works to be done for and with waste pickers.
