Diagnóstico dos resíduos sólidos domiciliares da cidade de Guatambu-SC

Abstract

This research is to make the diagnosis of solid waste generated in the urban area of the municipality of Guatambu-SC. The specific objectives understood the gravimetric analysis of solid waste, economic analysis of the implementation of selective collection in the urban area and the development of a Domestic Solid Waste Management Plan (DSWMP). The methodology used in the diagnostic involves tecnical visits and data collection with public agencies, and for the gravimetric analises it was used sampling technique and quartering of cell samples for subsequent separation into constituent parts. The DSWMP was based on the current legislation on the subject. The results shows that the waste is collected and destined to a central screening; however, there is no separation and around 23% of the waste are considered recyclables, which could be collected separately. Thus, if the recyclables waste were separated, the municipality would save R$ 21.41 per house per year in waste collection and destination, resulting in savings of R$ 42,820 per year. The DSWMP aproached the steps of implementation of selective waste collect and propose some guidelines for the stages of segregation, storage, collect, transportation, screening and destination. Therefore, it is important the implantation of selective waste collect in the municipality. Moreover, the DSWMP will bring economic gains and ensure the fulfillment of the current legislation, promoting social inclusion and environmental preservation.
