Public managers, increasingly, due to concern about the sustainability of urban centers, are adopting public policies focused on improving the environment and quality of life. In this context, the study aims to analyze the level of sustainability of urban solid waste management in the metropolitan region of Fortaleza. Therefore, an exploratory study was conducted, with descriptive approach, whose data collection was performed through the application of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, based on the Matrix of Sustainability Indicators proposed by Santiago and Dias (2012). The results of the research show that the municipalities of the metropolitan region of Fortaleza present, in their highest representativeness, medium-low levels of sustainability. Thus, it is concluded that, in fact, municipalities present incipient practices regarding the search for sustainability of the management of municipal solid waste, from the frequent context of excessive generation and inadequate disposal of solid waste.

Urban Solid Waste

In the present study we analyze and discuss socioenvironmental impacts arising from inadequate management of urban solid waste in the Brazilian Discovery Coast, southern Bahia. We also discuss the challenges to be overcome to promote proper management, highlighting the need for social inclusion of waste pickers. Methodological procedures consisted of an applied and exploratory research, through a review of specialized scientific literature. We also used secondary data available at the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and at the National Sanitation Information System, and applied a structured online questionnaire to municipal managers of public sanitation services. The cities under study only transfer the waste generated in urban centers to distant areas, in dumps, negatively affecting the environment and public health. There are neither management units nor incentive practices or support programs aimed at recyclable material collectors. Due to the weaknesses and the socioenvironmental, cultural, and historical importance of the area under study, the creation of public policies with broad popular participation is urgently needed to promote a fairer, healthier, and more sustainable development.

Purpose: This paper aims to introduce an economic instrument called Theory of Pollution Credit Certificates in the management of municipal solid waste in Brazil, in order to create opportunities to achieve the goal established in the above mentioned policy at lowest possible social costs.        Methodology/Approach: The methodology adopted has as a starting point the “constructo” of a scenario in which a city comprised of five brazilian districts produces its urban solid waste made up of 50% organic material. In the proposed scenario, similar to what happens in practice, a fee for collection and treatment of organic material would be charged for two different situations. Findings: The result showed that the use of Pollution Credit Certificates Theory has a better cost-effectiveness for solid waste management because it allows reaching the environmental goal at a lower cost to society. Research Limitation/Implication: Subjectivity of the analysis, due to the “constructo” proposition in the studies. Originality/Value of paper: From the results obtained, we inferred that the use of the Pollution Certificates Theory for the management of brazilian municipal solid waste benefits from economies of scale as it allows in the scenario determined, that districts sell their spaces at the landfill and parallel to this, to promote the practice of composting organic waste in the municipality.

Urban Solid Waste

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 (USW) management is a highly challenging issue to be addressed in advancing sustainable urban policies. For a waste management system to be sustainable, it should be environmentally efficient, economically viable and socially accepted by the directly affected population. However, with regard to rural areas, waste management and treatment are being forgotten and consequently large amounts of waste are being inappropriately discarded, leading to serious environmental problems. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the real situation of solid waste in the Linha São José community, located in the rural area of Frederico Westphalen city (RS, Brazil), proposing solutions for waste management and seeking the environmental awareness of the inhabitants. The methodological procedure used includes a data survey through questionnaire, in order to obtain information. Dry waste collectors were installed in the community center and environmental education campaigns were performed. The biggest issue found was the burning of dry waste which was handled by the collector implanted in the community, showing positive results for the problem. The other campaigns performed showed great importance for the waste management and an improvement in the quality of life of the community’s inhabitants.

Selective Collection

Purpose – To reflect on the selective collection of solid urban waste and what causes unrestrained consumption to society without considering the disposal of the products it consumes.Theoretical framework – The theoretical framework is structured based on the approach to planning policy in the scope of urban solid waste and discussions on lifestyles and environmental education based on the consumption and disposal of urban solid waste. At the end, we present the case of solid urban waste, in Santa Cruz do Sul-RS. This research also discusses how the selective collection and the recycling process of solid urban waste are guided in the context of environmental planning policies, in the municipality of Santa Cruz do Sul-RS, in the period from 2013 to 2016, and from the term of the Municipal Plan for Integrated Solid Waste Management - PMGIRS.Design/methodology/approach – The method is a case study with qualitative research, including secondary data from IBGE, PMGIRS, PERS and SNIS. Questionnaires were applied to SMMASS; Conesul and COOMCAT.Findings – The educational-environmental issue is also a strategy to face the problems related to the recycling of solid urban waste. Although laws have been passed since 2010, only current legislation is still insufficient. Society lacks interest in the correct disposal of urban waste, which reveals indifference to those who work in recycling (waste pickers). It is important to work with quality of life in order to promote local and regional development.Research, Practical Social implications – The importance of working with environmental awareness in the selective collection of solid waste, together with socio-environmental issues from an early age, through an educational stance, as well as the understanding that we are all co-responsible for what society produces and discards.Originality/value – It focuses on discussions on selective collection with a view to recycling solid urban waste, in Santa Cruz do Sul-RS, from the perspective of local and regional development.

The community of Benito Juarez, Quintana Roo, Mexico, has for decades faced deficiencies in waste management, with repercussions in public health, urban image and natural resource conservation. For this reason, the municipality's administration (2011-2013) created the decentralized public body "Integral Solution of Solid Waste" (SIRESOL). In order to measure the results of the strategies adopted, an evaluation of the agency's performance was carried out. The results identified deficiencies in the design of the SIRESOL.
