Gestão de resíduos sólidos: um estudo da conscientização ambiental em uma cidade do Brasil

The present study inserts on the international environmental thematic, approaching the integrated management of solid waste and the participation of the social actors in the search of the sustainable development. The awareness in combining it still describes a Selective Collection Program SCP of solid waste, in partnership with the municipal public power, in the development of joint actions that result in better alternatives of waste management in the urban centers, providing better life quality for the population and conservation of the environment. The aim of this research is to study problematic of the management of solid waste under the point of view of the environmental awareness and the participation of the population in a city of Brazil. In this matter, the target of the work is focusing on the strategy of solid waste management, through the attitudes and the respondents behaviors to aid in the making decision of the public manager related to the implantation of a selective collection program in Natal/RN. The methodology used in this work constitutes in the application of a questionnaire with scales of the type Likert being constituted of variables that compose the aspects of attitudes and of behaviors, besides a social-demographic scale. For analysis statistics is used the Pearson s Chi-Square Method in order to verify the dependence of the associations between the social-demographic variables and the attitude and the behavior ones. The results appear for a larger participation in a SCP, since this provides a better quality of life of the population (28,3 %), followed for offering a financial advantage (27,3%). Other results indicate the existence of the variables that exercise influence on the environmental awareness of the population to its demographic aspects

Improving selective collection of urban waste using a business intelligence system

Today recovering urban waste requires effective management services, which usually imply sophisticated monitoring and analysis mechanisms. This is essential for the smooth running of the entire recycling process as well as for planning and control urban waste recovering. In this paper we present a business intelligence system especially designed and im- plemented to support regular decision-making tasks on urban waste management processes. The system provides a set of domain-oriented analytical tools for studying and characterizing poten- tial scenarios of collection processes of urban waste, as well as for supporting waste manage- ment in urban areas, allowing for the organization and optimization of collection services. In or- der to clarify the way the system was developed and the how it operates, particularly in process visualization and data analysis, we also present the organization model of the system, the ser- vices it disposes, and the interface platforms for exploring data.

Development of a Household Pharmaceutical Waste Collection Program for Atlanta, Georgia: An Analysis of Risk Factors and Public Awareness with a Comprehensive Collection Plan

Decades of mixed messages from three federal agencies left many Americans unaware of the hazards associated with the indiscriminate disposal of unwanted or expired medicines. For this Capstone project, a systematic review of state and federal regulations was undertaken to determine how these laws obstruct household pharmaceutical waste collection. In addition, a survey of 654 Atlanta residents was conducted to evaluate unwanted medicine disposal habits, awareness of pharmaceutical compounds being detected in drinking water, surface, and ground waters, and willingness to participate in a household pharmaceutical waste collection program. Survey responses were tabulated to provide overall results and by age group, gender, and race. A household pharmaceutical waste collection plan was developed for the city and included as an appendix.

Grupos de catadores autônomos na coleta seletiva do município de São Paulo

Pesquisa na cidade de Sâo Paulo identificou dificuldades que grupos de catadores autônomos de recicláveis enfrentam para se inserirrem no Programa de Coleta Seletiva oficial. A cidade gera diariamente 16 mil toneladas de resíduos, apenas 1% destinados à coleta seletiva. Entretanto, grupos de catadores coletam informalmente sem ser incluídos nas estatístias. Foram levantados bibliografia, legislação sobre resíduos, grupos atuantes na coleta seletiva; e aplicados formulários em 13 grupos. Dados indicaram organizaçãoDados indicaram organização e gestão dos grupos, dificuldades, gerenciamento e divisão dos recursos, participantes e interesse de participarem da coleta seletiva oficial. Das dificuldades que os grupos apontaram estão: falta de espaço adequado para guardar, separar e enfardar material coletado; falta de recursos para seu desenvolvimento; e falta de apoio do governo

A gestão de resíduos sólidos em contextos intraorganizacionais: um estudo a partir da UFPA

Esta dissertação centra esforços em responder à seguinte pergunta: Como se deu o processo de implantação do Programa Coleta Seletiva Solidária na Universidade Federal do Pará? O referido programa foi instituído pelo Decreto Federal nº 5.940 do dia 25 de outubro de 2006 e visa à destinação do material reciclável produzido nos órgãos públicos federais da administração direta e indireta às associações e cooperativas de catadores. Esta ação, apesar de restrições quanto a sua destinação, vem contribuir com a diminuição da pobreza e o impacto ambiental em áreas naturais. O objetivo desta pesquisa é conhecer e analisar o processo de implantação do Programa Coleta Seletiva Solidária na UFPA. Teve o apoio das bases teóricas do Neoinstitucionalismo em Hall e Taylor e comparações das abordagens teóricas de Olson e Ostrom sobre a Teoria Comportamental da Ação Coletiva na produção de um Bem Público. A metodologia utilizada foi de caráter descritivo e qualitativo. A teoria conduziu ao trabalho de campo para as técnicas de observação, entrevistas semiestruturadas e pesquisa documental. Foram realizadas 25 entrevistas com técnicos da Prefeitura da Cidade Universitária da UFPA, diretores e coordenadores de Unidades Acadêmicas além de funcionários dos serviços gerais. Como resultado, foi constatada a necessidade de um trabalho de interação dentro das próprias Unidades Acadêmica, destas entre si e, paralelamente, com a Administração Superior. Em Ostrom, encontrou-se o apoio ao direcionamento teórico em razão de sua concepção de uso comum e as decisões coletivas de cooperação baseadas na reciprocidade e confiança entre as pessoas. Ela acrescenta elementos à Teoria da Ação Coletiva de Olson e mostra que trabalhos em busca do bem comum são possíveis desde que haja regras nas quais todos estão sujeitos aos benefícios das externalidades advindas. Com as abordagens institucionais e de ação coletiva apresentadas, este estudo pretende contribuir com a aplicação da Gestão Ambiental na Administração Pública. Os resultados alcançados podem levar à prática da Coleta Seletiva Solidária da UFPA, incentivando os gestores do interior do Estado a engajarem-se ao programa.

Análise das centrais de triagem do programa de coleta seletiva da cidade de São Paulo - SP

Among numerous studies about the selective collection of solid waste and cooperatives of recyclable materials, this research aims to contribute with the study of these problems from the geographic space. As the world population increases, the issue of solid waste becomes increasingly worrying, due to new consumption patterns that create larger amounts of waste, especially in the urban centers. The recycling appears to be the best solution for this problem since most materials that are currently sent to landfills would become raw material for new products. The Triage Centers performs an important role in this process because they are responsible for sorting, packing and selling the materials arising from the selective collect, so it is necessary to analyze the places where these steps are performed. This study intend to examine the location and distribution of these enterprises in the city of São Paulo in order to provide support for the mitigation of impacts, both environmental and social, from their location, as well as provide support for the expansion of selective collection program in the city. The choice for studying this area was due to the curiosity of investigating the inefficiency of the recycling program in the city of São Paulo, which currently recycles about 1% of all household solid waste collected. Therefore, from a historical survey of the city's recycling programs, technical visits, interviews with responsible agencies and also analysis of the Triage Center's frameworks based on the guidelines from the municipal legislation, it will be evaluated the problems faced by the program for its expansion

Gestão de resíduos sólidos no município de Tibagi - PR: desempenho da coleta seletiva

The objective of this study was to analyze the performance of solid waste management in the municipality of Tibagi, Paraná, a city with approximately 20000 inhabitants, which implemented the selective collection program called Recycle Tibagi. The analysis was based on descriptive statistical techniques, considering the three types of waste (tailings, organic and recyclable), and per capita generation of garbage upward trend in the coming years, based on the method of Winter (Triple Exponential Damping), using data recorded by the Department of the Environment and the Association of Recyclable Materials from Tibagi - ACAMARTI. Efficient selective collection from a structured environmental education program with constant training conducted with the scavengers, possible to obtain important data in sorting and marketing of recyclable materials, saving raw materials, water and energy, as well as relevant indicators social inclusion and employment generation and income. The project involves several areas of municipal management and arouses curiosity and interest in several areas: social, financial, environmental and administrative. It's a way to encourage new projects and public bodies, highlighting the importance of recycling and proper disposal of solid waste.

A gestão dos resíduos sólidos no município de Bauru - SP

The destination of urban solid waste has became a very relevant theme because of the fast growth of cities. Bauru, a strategically located municipality, needs solutions for that problem. This research aims to show solid waste management in Bauru through a survey of the selective or regular garbage collection programs, treatment and final disposal of the waste. To do so, a questionnaire with 85 questions was used about solid waste management in the municipality and visits were made to the solid waste collection and disposal sites. Bauru has a bad selective collection program and very significant clandestine disposal of Hazardous waste. Furthermore, it doesnot treat hospital waste and has a deficient final disposal landfill.

A decision support system for a waste collection vehicle routing problem

The selective collection of municipal solid waste for recycling is a very complex and expensive process, where a major issue is to perform cost-efficient waste collection routes. Despite the abundance of commercially available software for fleet management, they often lack the capability to deal properly with sequencing problems and dynamic revision of plans and schedules during process execution. Our approach to achieve better solutions for the waste collection process is to model it as a vehicle routing problem, more specifically as a team orienteering problem where capacity constraints on the vehicles are considered, as well as time windows for the waste collection points and for the vehicles. The final model is called capacitated team orienteering problem with double time windows (CTOPdTW).We developed a genetic algorithm to solve routing problems in waste collection modelled as a CTOPdTW. The results achieved suggest possible reductions of logistic costs in selective waste collection.
