Análise do descarte de resíduos sólidos rurais na comunidade tabocal grande na cidade de Cristalândia - PI.

Abstract

This work addresses the issue of inadequate solid waste disposal in the Tabocal community in Cristalândia do Piauí, highlighting the environmental and public health impacts of this practice. The research involved the analysis of the types of waste generated in the community, the disposal methods used, and the environmental impacts. It was identified that, although there are adequate practices for some types of waste, such as plastics and metals, there are significant challenges regarding organic, hazardous, and construction waste. The absence of composting for organic waste, the improper disposal of hazardous and construction waste, and the lack of regular waste collection were identified as critical issues. The implementation of community composting programs, public awareness campaigns, and improvements in waste collection are recommended as measures to mitigate these problems
