Análise dos benefícios econômicos e ambientais da coleta seletiva de lixo em Paranavaí - PR

Abstract

Nowadays, ensure proper treatment and disposal for municipal solid waste is a major challenge for the municipal administrations, mainly because waste generation due to population growth has increased and areas suitable for construction of sanitary landfills are scarce in large cities. In Brazil, since the late 1980s, some municipalities have implemented selective collection of municipal solid waste collectors in partnership with organizations that divert waste from disposal in landfills, increasing its life programs. Today, the selective collection is a concrete way of encouraging the reduction, reuse and separation of materials for recycling, seeking a change of behavior, especially in relation to the waste inherent in the consumer society. Becomes important to look for selective collection programs as part of public policy emphasizing its continuity and its goals. This paper presents some assessments about the economic and environmental benefits derived from the implementation of selective collection and the implementation of the Management Plan in the Municipality solids from Paraná.
