Analise da gestão de resíduos sólidos urbanos da zona urbana do município de José de Freitas - Piauí

Abstract

The research entitled Analysis of Urban Solid Waste Management in the Urban Area of José de Freitas – PI aimed to examine the solid waste management process in the municipality, focusing on the stages of collection, transportation, sorting, destination, and final disposal. Specific objectives included describing the waste management stages, evaluating the current environmental public policies, and mapping areas with management deficiencies. The methodology was structured in sequential stages, beginning with a documental analysis of the Municipal Solid Waste Management Plan (PMGR), which enabled the identification of existing procedures. The documental research also examined programs, legislation, and agreements related to waste management, as well as the analysis of ICMS Ecological data provided by the State Secretariat for Environment and Water Resources (SEMARH). It was found that improper waste disposal and the limitations of current public policies undermine the system's efficiency. The study concludes that integrated environmental education actions and the strengthening of cooperatives are essential to achieving more sustainable and efficient management, meeting the socio-environmental demands of José de Freitas – PI.
