Proposta de coleta seletiva de resíduos sólidos no município de Pacoti/CE

Abstract

The intensification of consumerism and globalization have increased the demand for raw materials, resulting in a greater and faster disposal of solid waste. The cities were unable to keep up with this growth at the same speed, making the environmental management processes obsolete for the current demand of the waste chain. In this sense, the State has intervened by creating several regulatory legislations in the sector, such as the National Policy for Solid Waste (NPSW) and the Sanitation Legal Framework. Given this reality, this paper seeks to analyze the current management of solid waste in the municipality of Pacoti/CE and propose a model of selective collection for the city. To achieve this goal, the methodology used had as assumption the collection of data related to solid waste in the region through bibliographic consultations at the municipal, regional, state and national levels. Besides this, there was the study of the State Plan for Solid Waste, the Plan for Selective Collection of the Metropolitan Basin, the Regional Plan for Integrated Management of Solid Waste (RPIMSW) of the Maciço de Baturité and the Municipal Plan for Basic Sanitation (MSBP) of Pacoti, which served as a model for the construction of a proposal for selective collection. With the data obtained in the diagnosis, it was possible to determine that there is technical feasibility in the implementation of selective collection in the municipality, following the recommendations suggested by the plans, such as the insertion of the collectors in the chain, implementation of environmental education program, door to door collection, voluntary delivery points with separation of dry and wet waste, construction of the Municipal Waste Center (MWC) and appropriate destination to a small landfill. In addition, the proposed scenario for Pacoti was compared to other small cities that have selective collection programs in place.
