Abstract
Brazil surpasses 200 millions citizens that produce trash everyday, and final
destination of this waste is a public politic question. Currently, all volume of this
trash produced is not complete collected, and collected percentage is not totally
allocated for environmentally correct discard place. The consequences of this
directly reflects on environment quality, and also on population health, since
garbage, if incorrectly discarted, can cause contaminations and environment
pollution, besides proliferate vectors that transmit illnesses for human beings and
animals. There are different types of waste management, among which sanitary
landfills, composting and recycling stand out, objects of study of this research.
These three management methodologies are considered the most appropriated
in question of environmental and social impacts generation, because when
correctly operated they do not present significant damage for environment and
population. Given current scenario of solid waste collection, treatment and final
destination in the country, it was possible to verify that it can still improve its public
policies for waste mangement public policy, so it can meet the entire population
satisfactorily, and allocate the largest amount of waste collected for each one’s
most sustainable final destinations.
