DESTINAÇÃO CORRETA DE RESÍDUOS EM MONSENHOR PAULO-MG: Avaliação de custos e benefícios da destinação correta dos resíduos de acordo com a legislação atual

Abstract

Waste management is crucial for environmental preservation, public health, and sustainable development. With this in mind, the federal government has implemented a series of laws and programs to assist in environmental preservation. Effective waste management is crucial in Monsenhor Paulo, where the lack of adequate infrastructure exacerbates local challenges. This study aims to propose sustainable alternatives for waste disposal, considering current legislation and environmental impacts. By exploring approaches such as sending waste to sanitary landfills and constructing a sanitary landfill in trenches, the goal is to contribute to the region's economic and environmentally responsible development, aligned with legal requirements and community needs. Approximate disposal costs for both methods are presented, followed by a comparison between them and an explanation of the importance of reconciling them for both emergency and financial reasons.
