The study consists of a planning strategy, in which, firstly, the study area was characterized, and then the data pertaining to the generation and destination of solid waste was collected. Data collection and information of the actions related to the selective collection present in the municipality was realized. For this, a documentary research was realized in PNRS, PMGIRS and in Program of Actions for Solid Waste Management, in addition to visits in public and private agencies with environmental competence.
