ESTRATÉGIAS PARA CARACTERIZAÇÃO DOS RESÃDUOS SÓLIDOS GERADOS EM COMUNIDADES AMAZÔNICA

Abstract

The problematic of solid waste acquired in the last years a vital importance due to the increase of the generated quantities and its inappropriate management. The Amazonian cities are copies of the country´s reality, since most of them are excluded from the home collection system of solid waste and face difficulties to set an urban cleaning system within the sanitary standards. In this context, the present study aimed to present the strategies used to characterize the solid waste and also indicate appropriated final destination alternatives within the study area. Thus, the study involved two stages, in the first moment methodological tools were applied to the recognition of the area and the mobilization of the community in the binomial context of public health and solid waste. In the second stage, waste characterization was performed by gravimetric and volumetric determination of compositions generating a quantitative and qualitative identification that contribute to the waste management plan.
