Subsídios para a gestão de resíduos domésticos e agropecuários na zona rural do Município de Dom Macedo Costa-Ba

Abstract

The Solid Waste Management is a subject of wide discussion in the scope of public policies, since it is a subject that inserts environmental problems. It is not a simple task to solve problems related to the inadequate disposal of solid waste. With all of the legal framework coming from the national solid waste policy, the problems caused by the lack of management persist, especially when it comes to rural areas. These places, for the most part, are ignored by services that solve the problems caused by the disposal of generated waste. The present work deals with the disposal of domestic solid waste and presents alternatives for the feasibility of collecting in the rural environment of the municipality of Dom Macedo Costa - Ba. Even with less emphasis, the work provides some strategies to deal with the problem of agrochemical residues produced in the same area. It was based on the premise that the installation of PEVs (Voluntary Delivery Stations) at strategic locations in rural communities facilitates the selective collection of their residues, inducing them to collect only the dry materials, thus taking advantage of the organic fraction in the families' property. A significant part of the population yearns for the collection service in the rural area, claiming that they are forced to destine the waste in an inconvenient way precisely because of lack of service provision. After the implantation of the collection system, the rural area will allow favorable returns in economic, environmental and social terms, guaranteeing a better quality of life for the population.
