Abstract

Based on the National Solid Waste Policy in force since 2010, this paper aimed to discussion a methodology to be used in the construction of the Integrated Management Plan for Solid Waste (PGIRS) for small-sized municipalities. Having as empirical research locus the town of Mondaí/SC. The primary quali-quantitative and quantitative data were obtained, respectively, through interviews and gravimetric weighing in six study segments: health service, civil construction, commerce, industry, rural domicile and urban domicilie. Also, secondary data from documents provided by the town's public agencies were used. The results demonstrate, mainly, the scenario of generation and final destination of the different residues produced by the six study segmentsand the perception of the interviewees about consequences of improper management. In quantitative terms, it is important to highlight the per capita generation of 0,183 kg/inhab/day and 0,358 kg/inhab/day for the segments rural domicile and urban domicile, respectively. These averages, considerably below the estimate for small-sized municipalities made available by the National Sanitation Information System, indicate an obligation in the execution of local diagnoses so as not to fall into the mistake of oversizing the management system, for example. In addition, the analyzes make possible reflections and propositions in the scope of the elaboration and implementation of the PGIRS in what concerns, mainly, to the search for consortium solutions, to the implementation of selective collection and the encouragement to the creation of cooperatives of collectors and recycling of materials.
