Gestão dos resíduos da construção civil em municípios de pequeno porte das regiões Triângulo e Alto Paranaíba

Abstract

The construction waste, although mostly composed of non-toxic material, has a very large impact on the environment. Just like any other waste, improper disposal can lead to environmental liabilities. It is then the purpose of this paper to present the overview of construction and demolition waste management in the small municipalities of the Triangulo Mineiro region. It was analyzed the environmental, economic, political, social and cultural aspects necessary for effective management to occur. It is also said that there is much to improve, as no municipality has submitted its municipal management plan, and they do not have adequate waste disposal sites. In order to illustrate the extent of waste generation by the construction industry, an estimate of waste production was made by indirect method through the built area. Only the new buildings are responsible for about 1640 and 8750 tons of waste in each municipality of the study.
