ESTRATÉGIAS PARA GERENCIAMENTO DE RESÍDUOS SÓLIDOS URBANOS MUNICÍPIO DE PIRACANJUBA-GO

Abstract

The Planet has faced several transformations; the accumulation of solid waste became a problem that requires urgent solutions. Using the right techniques facilitates the problem which should promote the improvement of life on Earth. And this is the big challenge for everyone. The proper management of these wastes is a way to mitigate the impacts on the nature. This research aims to propose the construction of a plant screening of Solid Urban Waste in the city of Piracanjuba. There have been several visits to the landfill in the municipality which aim understanding the characteristics and quantity of the produced waste. Through these field visits it was possible to assess and note the poorness of the site which requires a better management of waste because the place has serious damage. There are people working at the landfill without proper protection, medical waste are not getting the necessary care in the final disposal , waste from civil construction and tree pruning are also prepared incorrectly. The services of compaction haven t been routinely performed and waste accumulates quite disorganized causing the embankment to assume the characteristics of an open-air dumps. It was also observed that the entrance off the landfill there is not security service restricting access to people and pets. It is obvious the necessity to propose viable solutions that will solve the problems arising from poor management of municipal solid waste. So the combination of a proper management of waste and promoting public policies that ensure quality of life and improve environmental conditions is certainly the attitude required to have a sustainable development.
