This manuscript briefly discusses some aspects related to the categories of solid waste collectors, as well as the health and local development where they reside. The aim of this manuscript is to find out how these three categories are articulated in a given social space. For this purpose the Dom Antônio Barbosa neighborhood was chosen, located in the city of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. A bibliographical research, field work and interviews were carried out to reach the proposed objectives. The results indicate that there is a very active interaction among the categories, however, it was verified that the collectors do not know the importance of obtaining information to have better access to the health services of which all Brazilians have a right guaranteed by the State.
