Sumario:Managing a productive process properly is the key factor to reach the organization objectives; however, the lack of technical knowledge not only makes the managing process really challenging, but also it produces a result that is below the level that the company could achieve. Even though being one of the most important characters to the implementation of a integrated waste management system, associations and cooperatives of recycling material collectors, through the Brazilian National Solid Waste Policy (NSWP), proclaim to work under a undeveloped managing system. Therefore, it was proposed an analysis of the productive process of a selective solid waste collection organization, focusing on its capacity to absorb the amount of waste produced on its work area. In this analysis, it was made a structured questionnaire, a semi-structured interview and a process flowchart with recognition and measurement of its operational capacity. Moreover, the company analyzed is the only waste collection company located in Garanhuns, Pernambuco. The productive process is presented in detail, and although its operational capacity to absorb solid waste is low, it unequivocally contributes to the reduction of an important amount of waste that previously were destined to landfills.
