Abstract

The environmental issue has been one of the recurring themes in the many discussions both at the national, state and municipal levels. Among the various aspects that concern the problems related to municipal solid waste, an important component of basic sanitation, requires an effective action in provision of its management. This work aims to analyze the procedures for collection and disposal of solid waste in the city of Amambai and propose improvements to the process in order to minimize the amount of such waste disposed in the landfill of the municipality. This study is essential to better understand and manage the significant aspects that have significant impacts on the environment. To develop this work, we performed the inventory of solid waste on the basis one year of data collection through the information obtained from the Cooperative Collectors and Solid Waste Delivery Desk Recyclable Environmental Excellence. From this information, municipal solid waste management program was proposed. The results show that 67.9% of the waste can be recycled and 90.0% of these are organic residues which may be recycled from a composting process. The remaining waste is paper and cardboard (3.8%), plastics (2.9%), glass (1.5%), ferrous metals (1.1%), rubber-tire (0.28%), wood (0.27%) and non-ferrous metals (0.01%). Of the 32.1% of non-recyclable waste, absence of a selective collection program in the city, 97.6% are recyclable wastes are mixed with organic waste preventing their recycling, making them waste.
