Abstract

Wirth the Industrial Revolution, the Brazilian population was grouped in cities in a disorderly way, increasing the generation of waste, which has several stages for its management: generation, packaging, collection, transportation, treatment and final disposal. Therefore, the term packaging of solid waste is basically, after generating this waste, depositing them in appropriate containers specifically intended for the type of waste. That said, the importance of proper packaging of solid waste is verified in all Brazilian municipalities. Thus, this study aimed to identify the ways of packaging urban solid waste produced in the city of Riacho Frio. It should be noted that the proper management of waste brings numerous benefits, such as preventing possible accidents, minimizing the environmental impact due to the inadequate disposal of solid waste thrown directly into the ground. theme. The municipality of Riacho Frio does not have regular collection of its Solid Waste (RS), that is, the collection is carried out randomly, without a set time, some neighborhoods go weeks without having their MSW collected. The methodological procedures chosen to carry out this work were visual observations to identify the city's packaging method and which waste is deposited within that particular container. The bad smell and the worsening of the visual aspects of the city are quite frequent due to the accumulation of waste on public roads. These occurrences would be avoided if all waste produced in the city were properly packaged according to the characteristics and special needs of each material established by the National Solid Waste Policy. The most used containers for packaging found were plastic bags and the blue drum made available in some streets by the municipal government
