Reverse logistics emerges as a solution for responsible and proper disposal of such equipment. This work aims to analyze the activity of reverse logistics of IT equipment in public organizations in São Gabriel - RS. Interviews were conducted with those responsible for managing these electronic public organizations in the city. Public organizations surveyed employ a significant number of these devices. It was noted that the reverse logistics though little known in the city, motivated a great interest of respondents in the problem that were exposed. However, the lack of incentives and disclosure are considered the main obstacles to adoption of this practice.
