Análise da distribuição e eficiência das lixeiras em espaços públicos na cidade de Corrente - PI

Abstract

This study analyzes the distribution and efficiency of trash cans in public spaces in the city of Corrente, PI, focusing on the Dr. Joaquim Nogueira Paranaguá and Padre Elizeu Cavalcante squares, as well as Desembargador Amaral street. The research was conducted through on-site observations, photographic records and application of a checklist, allowing the evaluation of the quantity, location, state of conservation and functionality of solid waste collectors. The results showed na uneven distribution of trash cans, with deficiencies in some areas, which contributes to the inadequate disposal of waste. In addition, it was found that many containers are damaged and in need of maintenance. The lack of educational campaigns on correct disposal was also identified as a factor that compromises the efficiency of urban solid waste management. Thus, the study reinforces the importance of the adequate installation of trash cans, the implementation of a periodic maintenance plan and the development of environmental education actions to promote public awareness
