Gestão de resíduos sólidos: estudo de caso em uma oficina mecânica na cidade de Caçapava do Sul - RS

Abstract

The present paper aims to elaborate a Solid Waste Management Plan (PGRS) at a mechanical workshop in the city of Caçapava do Sul, RS. There is a growing concern of the correct disposal of waste, especially when it comes to a machine shop, knowing it performs a variety of services such as exchange of lubricating oil, exchange and cleaning of parts, engine grinding, electronic injection, suspension, brakes, engine adjustment, alignment and balancing. The present work aimed to elaborate a Solid Waste Management Plan (PGRS) in a mechanics workshop in Caçapava do Sul-RS. It was verified the current state of waste management and the possible improvements that PGRS may bring to the project, as well as adjustments to current environmental standards and legislation. The methodology focused on the quality of PGRS implementation actions and activities, considering the following procedures: quality in waste packaging (identification of collectors / dumps and sensitization of generators); efficiency of the internal collection and transportation system, avoiding mixtures and contamination; effective environmental education. The results were obtained after the diagnosis was made, which was through on-site visits, thus being able to identify the residues present in the workshop and also classify them for later inclusion in the PGRS. It was possible to conclude based on the objectives lhe importance of solid waste management and compliance with the steps required by law, such as: segregation, storage, collection and transportation, treatment and final disposal and thus being able to apply the PGRS in the project under study.
