Análise da gestão integrada dos resíduos sólidos do município de Pacajus – CE

Abstract

Increased population, exacerbated consumerism and technological advances contribute to the generation of solid waste in large volumes and consequent problems in the disposal of these materials. The PNRS (in portuguese), published in 2010, has the purpose of establishing guidelines for agents involved in the problem of waste, such as Public Authorities, civil society, industries, sellers, consumers. In Brazil, the municipalities and the Distrito Federal are responsible for the management and management system of waste produced in their territory. In order to analyze the integrated management of solid waste in the municipality of Pacajus, highlighting the current environmental laws, it was made documentaries researches about relevant legislation at the national, state and municipal levels, visits to municipal agencies to know about the management and management system of solid waste and also to the final disposal site of such waste. The main results were: dumping ground as final waste disposal method; presence of recyclable waste collectors in the dump and lack of educational campaign, municipal environmental licensing agency and also of selective collection system. It can be concluded a deficiency in the integrated management of solid waste in the municipality of Pacajus, with only occasional actions of waste management, linked to noncompliance with the environmental norms that address this issue.
