Abstract

The impact of population growth in the metropolitan region of Curitiba in the last three decades, brought as a consequence the increase of solid waste generation and environmental degradation. The approach of this article is Caximba Landfill, located in the region of the border between the municipalities of Fazenda Rio Grande, Curitiba and Araucaria. This will analyze the impact of population growth in recent decades and the consequent relation with the generation of solid waste. The data for the analyzes were searched in databases: COMEC, IPARDES and IBGE censuses (1980-2010). The methodology was based on quantitative and qualitative research, and to establish a theoretical foundation on the subject addressed. The Landfill Caximba, although inactive, still producing gaseous pollutants, contaminating groundwater, visually and odors impacting the surrounding community, but despite this background of environmental degradation is observed that it is possible to make one socially and environmentally correct Landfill project.
