Planos municipais de gestão integrada de resíduos sólidos: análise dos processos de gerenciamento de resíduos da construção civil

Abstract

The civil construction waste (CCW) represent 40 to 60% of the mass of solid waste produced in large cities. In view of this, its correct management becomes essential, aiming at minimizing negative consequences to the environment. The Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management (IMSWM) is one of the instruments cited by the National Policy of Solid Waste (NPSW), governing the solid waste management system in municipalities. These plans can be inserted in the Municipal Plans of Basic Sanitation of the municipalities and have a minimum content required by the NPSW. This work is a bibliographical research with the objective of, from the IMSWM of municipalities from Rio Grande do Sul with population between 150 thousand and 300 thousand inhabitants, identify how the process of CCW management is done in each one of them and if these plans contain the minimum content required by NPSW. It was found that the main problems faced by the municipalities in the management of CCW are: the disposal of this waste in irregular locations, contamination by other types of waste, and flaws in the sorting process. Of the 08 IMSWM surveyed, only 03 of them have all the minimum contents. Besides, it was identified a failure in the disclosure of these plans, as well as in the performance of their periodic reviews. Keywords: waste, Civil construction, management, IMSWM
