Reciclagem e gestão de resíduos sólidos no município de Santana do Ipanema: um estudo de caso da atual situação

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the solid waste situation and the policy of this solid waste in Santana do Ipanema. We also sought to verify the challenges ahead in relation to solid waste recycling in our country, and then to discuss how solid waste management is located in the city of Santana do Ipanema; study the recycling policies in the municipality or, if there is one, in the consortium of local municipalities. In order to do that, a literature review and bibliographical and documentary research on the following themes were used: Recycling, sustainability, sustainable development, possible laws and norms that deal with the subject matter addressed in the state of Alagoas, as well as in the municipality of Santana do Ipanema, based on Law No. 12,305 of August 2, 2010, which constitutes the National Policy on Solid Residues (PNRS). From the analysis of data it was possible to perceive the importance of the discussion about the recycling and the difficulties that the municipality of Santana do Ipanema presents in relation to the theme. Finally, through the whole study, we can conclude that the municipality of Santana do Ipanema does not yet have selective collection activities, only discarding its residues in the sanitary landfill through the consortium of municipalities in the region of the dairy belt confirming the hypothesis of the study.
