quantitative
Comlurb, Rio's municipal cleaning company, watches its whole collection fleet by GPS from a control room in Tijuca — around 200 compactor trucks on some 800 routes, 24 hours a day Monday to Saturday, plus 650 other vehicles that raise real-time alerts when one leaves the city limits, stops too long, or tips at an unscheduled transfer station

quantitative
since 2019 an accredited private hauler whose vehicle turns up for inspection without a tracker is failed outright
clm-8eb73a63b2a48ec5
quantitative
rules re-issued in February 2026 require Comlurb to be able to watch those fleets live and to receive monthly reports of what they tipped where

quantitative
A separate ordinance of November 2025 extended the same logic to large waste generators, who must now declare volumes and disposal sites or face fines

Comlurb reports selective collection recovering about 5,700 tonnes a month, roughly 11% of the recyclable material it estimates the city throws away

This layer records what is known about each source, what is still missing, and the exact snapshot this page is rendering. A missing date, archive or hash stays visible as missing.
Awaiting operator and domain-expert review; publication of this revision implies neither.
Erratum on this revision's envelope. The snapshot, its hash and its permanent link are untouched.

src-1c0794b0964a2412Carries every operational figure in the snippet: 'Toda a frota da Comlurb é monitorada por GPS para garantir que os veículos não saiam do roteiro programado'; ~200 compactor trucks, ~800 routes, 24h Mon-Sat from the Tijuca operations centre; 650 further vehicles alerting on 'veículos que saíram dos limites do município do Rio de Janeiro; atrasos nas apresentações; longas paradas; veículos vazando os resíduos em Estações de Transferência de Resíduos (ETR) diferentes das programadas'; Power BI fleet dashboards. FETCH FAILURE: direct WebFetch fails with a redirect loop (10+ hops) on both the slashed and unslashed URL, and web.archive.org is unreachable from this environment; the Portuguese wording above was returned identically by three separate search passes. The page shows no publication date, so it does not date the control centre.
src-7429a013499998cdDates the tracking mandate. Art. 5.08: 'A não apresentação de rastreadores em cada um dos veículos a serem vistoriados será motivo para a sumária reprovação do veículo', and trackers must be compatible with Comlurb's own control and monitoring infrastructure; art. 5.09 obliges accredited firms to give Comlurb login credentials for route and discharge reports, with two named Comlurb staff under confidentiality agreements. This is the earliest firmly dated element of the data layer and the basis for yearStart 2019.
src-ee350e3d0388363eCurrent accreditation rules for private collectors of special, healthcare and recyclable waste. Art. 9 §8: 'Todos os veículos pertencente à frota deverão estar equipados com rastreadores em conformidade com a Lei Estadual n° 6.862, de 15 de julho de 2014'; art. 9 §9 and art. 26 require real-time Comlurb monitoring plus reports of routes and deviations outside the municipality; art. 16 routes manifests through INEA's electronic MTR system; art. 18 §6 requires monthly reporting of recyclable tonnage and discharge points. Confirms the system is live in 2026.
src-f44cda522e67977aPortaria nº 009 of 7 Nov 2025: large generators (over 120 litres or 60 kg/day under Lei 3.273/2001) must declare volumes, waste nature, contracted hauler and final destination; 90-day transition; 'O descumprimento das obrigações, incluindo o não envio ou o fornecimento de informações falsas ou incompletas, poderá resultar em advertências, multas e outras sanções legais.' Comlurb president named as Jorge Arraes.
src-24da559ed27b16f8The recycling counterweight, in Comlurb's own words: 'cerca de 5.700 toneladas de materiais recicláveis por mês', 'cerca de 11% dos materiais potencialmente recicláveis', 'estimados em 40%'; 117 neighbourhoods served; ~450 families across 29 waste-picker cooperatives. Operator page with no visible date — read 26 July 2026.
src-f8c5ec1c5822c1f4Supports every Gramacho claim in the notes: the Petrobras biogas supply contract was terminated in March 2018 after interruptions exceeding 180 days, with output below projection; INEA suspended Gás Verde's environmental licence over an unmet 2017 TAC worth R$9M; a 2018 court decision expanded leachate monitoring points after samples were found to have been collected at high tide; artisanal fishermen in Duque de Caxias attribute lost fish and crab stocks to leachate reaching the mangroves. Note the site is in Duque de Caxias, not the city of Rio.
src-f95a06e995083158Closure on 3 June 2012 after 34 years of operation; catadores organised through ACAMJG negotiated an indemnity of R$14,000 each, paid as a lump sum instead of over 14 years; ex-catadores lacking documents were blocked from claiming; the Polo de Reciclagem de Gramacho promised in August 2012 had, years later, not materialised. Verified through search extracts; the Fiocruz Mapa de Conflitos entry corroborates independently.
src-8c513f69c74ca3d8Trade-press record that Gás Verde moved its biogas treatment unit off Gramacho because output from the landfill, shut to new waste in 2012, 'deixou de apresentar o volume necessário', and rebuilt at the Ciclus CTR Rio site in Seropédica (~10,000 t/day of Rio's waste). Not fetched directly — content taken from search extracts; the Seropédica plant is a private operation in another municipality and is referenced here only as the fate of the Gramacho project.
