Abstract

Urban solid waste is understood to be those coming from human settlements in urban areas. The theme of the present study concerns the quality of the waste landfill in the Municipality of Santa Filomena Piauí, the final destination of waste produced in the city. Waste, when deposited improperly, causes a great impact on the environment, with this, the objective of this study was to verify the quality of the waste landfill in the municipality of Santa Filomena-PI. Where a visit was made to the final disposal site of solid waste and the application of the landfill quality index (IQR), proposed by the Environmental Company of the State of São Paulo (CETESB), corresponding to the application of a standardized checklist. The results found in the application of the IQR show that the place of final disposal of solid waste in the municipality of Santa Filomena-PI presents inadequate conditions, since the value obtained with the IQR was 1. Only the location of the area fits the established parameters by the related norm. Therefore, an alternative to minimize this problem would be the implementation of a sanitary landfill in consortium with neighboring municipalities, where the costs of construction and operation can be divided, and with this contribute to the reduction of socio-environmental impacts
