This study intends to identify the occupational risks that the street sweepers are exposed by handling diary with the urban trash. The data are collected by interview with schedule constructed by the authors. The results showed that even if this occupational activity is considered of low level risk, the cuttings and contusion wounds were responsible for the absent time of workers on their functions, in a period between zero to ten days.
