The National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) and its regulation originated a new reference for the integrated and sustainable solid waste management in the country and new challenges for the implementation and improvement of the selective collection service provision in the municipalities. The purpose of this research is to identify the efficiency level of urban solid waste management in the Brazilian capitals during the period from 2002 to 2016. To measure the efficiency, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique was used. The sample consisted of 20 Brazilian capitals. After measuring efficiency, the logistic regression technique was used to measure the contribution of each variable used in the DEA technique. As a result, it was observed that the number of materials recovered is very low compared to the number of materials collected, the municipality that collected the most materials was Vitória in 2015 and the municipality that recovered the most waste was Florianópolis in 2013.

The solid waste management in Brazil is supported by the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) and, in the case of municipal waste, the responsibility lies for municipalities. The aim of this research was to describe the perception of the managers of the municipalities of the South Region of Rio Grande do Sul regarding solid waste management. Through the application of a questionnaire addressed to the managers of the cities, difficulties were identified: the lack of technical and financial resources for the implementation of the instruments proposed by the PNRS, such as the Municipal Integrated Solid Waste Management Plans (PMGIRS) and selective collection of municipal solid waste. In addition, there were found problems as the lack of collaboration of the population for the functioning of collection systems and difficulties in the insertion of cooperatives and associations of collectors of recyclable materials within the management cycle. Despite the problems faced, managers recognize the importance of integrated solid waste management to improve management and planning of actions, to promote environmental quality and public health and as a method to reduce costs and raise funds.

In Brazil, the National Solid Waste Policy, implemented by the Law 12305/2010, determined the extinction of landfills up to 2014. Were analyzed the Municipal Plans of Integrated Management of Urban Solid Waste, of the seven municipalities from the Great ABC region and actions adopted by the Municipal to perform the Municipal Solid Waste Management. The research is descriptive, using the deductive method, was conducted by a documental analysis of such Plans, in the light of the legislation. The research field was based on interviews with managers responsible for the Urban Solid Waste Management in each studied municipal district. At the end, the following conclusions: selective collection has not yet been deployed as requires the National solid waste Policy and that public managers of the studied municipal districts are favorable to finding solutions Consortium.

Urban Solid Waste

Established by 12.305/2010 law, the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) created mechanismsand established the general guidelines for all public and private entities responsible for solid wastemanagement to perform their activities in an integrated and complementary way. The municipalities,due to their constitutional responsibilities, oversaw most of the expected charges. With the objectiveof diagnosing the current situation of urban solid waste management in the 72 municipalities locatedin the area of activity of the 17th Independent Military Police Company for the Environment and Traffic(17ª Cia. PM Ind MAT), the research was carried out through structured questionnaires answeredby military environmental police officers and municipal managers. The results indicate that, in mostof them, the actions and instruments of the PNRS are not being applied and, in some of thesemunicipalities, final disposal of wastes, even after the legal deadlines, continues being carried out inan environmentally inadequate way.Keywords: Environmental regulation.

The Subject

Brazilian municipalities are responsible for the management of urban solid waste generated in their territories; When this management is performed improperly, it generates environmental, social, economic and health problems. The National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) instituted the Simplified Municipal Plan for Integrated Solid Waste Management (PMSGIRS) for municipalities with less than 20,000 inhabitants. Thus, this article aims to diagnose PMSGIRS from 16 municipalities with less than 20,000 inhabitants in western region of Parana, verifying that they satisfactorily meet the PNRS content. For this, a checklist was prepared containing 282 items, by consulting the manuals of the Ministry of the Environment and Brazilian Laws on the subject. As a result, it was found that only one municipality does not have its PMSGIRS and another has the Intermunicipal Plan for Integrated Solid Waste Management, four have Municipal Basic Sanitation Plan that includes the solid waste axis and only ten have PMSGIRS. Most plans (78%) do not satisfactorily meet the PNRS content, achieving less than 70% of the required content. Only three plans (22%) obtained a rate considered satisfactory. It is concluded that these plans should be urgently reviewed, with a view to including missing content.
