Consórcio Intermunicipal e Gestão Integrada de Resíduos Sólidos em Municípios do Oeste Goiano: um Estudo de Caso

Abstract

Current standards for solid waste management, where municipalities still make improper disposal in open-air dumps, is required to improve. In the meantime, with the current requirements of the National Solid Waste Policy, intermunicipal consortia have been presented as a feasible way to carry out actions in the sense of adapting municipalities to current legislation, since in this management model it is possible to achieve results compared to the execution of individual actions of each municipality. The implementation of consortiums is an admissible option mainly for small municipalities with scarce financial resources, aiming to solve problems regarding environmental and social aspects. In this sense, the present work proposes a reflection through bibliographic review and comparative data analysis, highlighting the importance in the field of Urban Solid Waste Management (MSW) using the methodology developed by Ferreira and Jucá (2017) for the evaluation of consortia already in phase of MSW operation in Minas Gerais adapted and applied in the consortium that is in the implantation phase in the western region of the state of Goiás.
