Análise da gestão dos resíduos sólidos em Canápolis (MG)

Abstract

Reviewing a Municipal Basic Sanitation Plan (PMSB) ensures that the plan is up to date and in line with current needs and regulations. The analysis of solid waste management, one of the four axes of the PMSB, provides essential information on waste management and highlights important gaps that can be improved in order to promote more efficient and sustainable management at municipal level. With this in mind, this paper presents a survey of information on urban solid waste management in the municipality of Canápolis (MG), following technical visits, public hearings and meetings with those responsible for the municipality. It also analyzes the gravimetric composition of household solid waste using the quartering method. The data presented in the work is essential for a complete diagnosis of the current solid waste situation in the municipality, identifying the existing challenges and opportunities, as well as seeking to develop integrated and sustainable solutions for dealing with the different types of waste generated such as the implementation of selective collection, the creation of partnerships with cooperatives and associations and the integration of more efficient environmental education programs.
