This study starts from the premise that these workers play a relevant role in environmental sustainability and the recycling chain, but historically face social invisibility, informality, precarious work, and difficulties in accessing rights. The general objective of the research is to analyze the progress and challenges resulting from the implementation of Law No. 12.305/2010 (National Solid Waste Policy) regarding access to justice, the realization of rights, and the social participation of recyclable material collectors in Brazil. Regarding methodology, this is basic research, with a qualitative approach, exploratory and descriptive objectives, developed through a narrative literature review and bibliographic research, based on the analysis of scientific productions, legislation, official documents, and doctrinal works related to the topic. The study demonstrated that the National Solid Waste Policy represented progress by recognizing the importance of waste pickers, encouraging cooperatives and associations, and providing for their participation in selective collection and reverse logistics programs. However, challenges persist related to informality, low remuneration, the fragility of cooperatives, the absence of full labor protection, social discrimination, and limitations in effective access to justice. Thus, it is concluded that the National Solid Waste Policy constitutes an important legal framework, but its effectiveness depends on the strengthening of public policies, the actions of justice institutions, and the concrete valuation of the work of waste pickers.ptacesso à justiça; catadores de materiais recicláveis; Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos; inclusão socioeconômica; direitos sociais.
