Abstract

The solid waste management is a challenge for the public manager of any level of government and in any municipality. Th is work studies solid waste disposal in the VIIIth Hydrographic Region, which encompasses the municipalities of Casimiro de Abreu, Macaé, Nova Friburgo and Rio das Ostras, located in Macaé and Das Ostras rivers and in Imboacica Lagoon hydrographic basins. For this purpose, a questionnaire was given to municipalities with the intent of obtaining information about the provision and management of solid waste for each one. Preliminary results showed that there are two licensed landfills in this area, in Macaé and in Rio das Ostras cities, and that Nova Friburgo has a not licensed landfi ll. Th e tonnage of waste collected per day is: Macaé - 320 t / day; Nova Friburgo - 150 t / day, Rio das Ostras - 70 t / day and Casimiro de Abreu - 30 t / day. In this context, compatibilization among economic growth, social development and environmental protection in order to create solutions for waste final destination problems is necessary.
