The final destination of the urban solid waste is a theme that needs more analysis and it is a fundamental topic in urban management of solid waste. This research had as an objective to analyze the proposal of vertical enlargement of the Aterro Metropolitano Oeste de Caucaia (ASMOC) in the year of 2008. As a research method were used the bibliographical revision, documental revision and field research. From the data gathered from the analysis we could perceive that Fortaleza possess a relevant production of waste in the amount of 3.000t/day, having five years of expected life span. Proposing to put together sealed cells using the street between them and elevating them thirty meters we could acquire a volume of 5,5 billions m3. Analyzing the data we can conclude that this method can increase the life span of the landfill for more three years. From the results we can infer that from the amount of waste placed in the ASMOC it’s necessary the implementation of actions that focus on the reduction, reutilization and recycling as strategies to minimize the amount of waste, as well as actions of environmental education.
