Análise da gestão dos resíduos sólidos aplicada em vilas, favelas e aglomerados de Belo Horizonte

Abstract

This analysis was aimed to be a review on the production of SW in the city of Belo Horizonte and the co-responsibility in SW management with sustainable environmental responsibility. A profile of the collection, transportation and disposal of SW was created through explanation and discussion of the data disclosed in annual reports of the Superintendence of Urban Cleaning (between the years 2003 and 2013). Based on Law No. 12305/2010, the most up-to-date legal mechanism to assist managers in SW management was analyzed as the organ responsible for that administration having conducted and interpreted its paragraphs, both through methodological and operational actions. After the presentation and discussion of quantitative data on SW production in the city, we developed a profile from the macro, which is the city of Belo Horizonte, to the micro, which are villages and slums. In 2014, these locations count with the Urban Sanitation Community Agent (a program executed through an agreement between the SLU and the Sociedade São Vicente de Paulo) which was created to optimize the provision of cleaning service for streets, alleys and home collection of household SW. Quantitative values of the Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) and Household Waste (HW) generated in these locations were considered. We sought to highlight services provided, as well as issues undergone in the 23 villages and slums of the USCA Program, and we were based on solid field experience the researcher acquired since 2010 in those communities. The practice of urban sanitation services in agglomerates, villages and slums of Belo Horizonte was critically and constructively analyzed and also how bodies of the Belo Horizonte City Hall compromise and work, as well as the systematics inserted into the main SW managing body in Belo Horizonte, which is the SUC (SLU, in Portuguese).
