Resíduos da construção civil no município de Alegrete

Abstract

The present work has the objective of diagnosing the current situation of solid waste management in the city of Alegrete, according to the legislation, of Construction and Demolition Waste. The methodology used was qualitative research, interviewed by means of questions, in the form of a questionnaire, four companies from the civil construction area of the municipality selected for this study. The questionnaire was applied in 2015 and again in 2017. Information was also sought from the municipal authorities responsible for the Alegretense Solid Waste Park and the company responsible for the collection and disposal of Construction and Demolition Waste (RCD). The results showed that most of the generators of construction waste are not aware of the Laws and resolutions in force, however, there is interest in controlling the collection and final destination of the rubble and the companies demonstrate a percentage increase of commitment in what it says non-generation, minimization, recycling and reuse of these wastes. There was a concern of the public authority to adhere to the current legislation, together with the community involved in construction and collaborators. However, there are still many difficulties for effective enforcement.
