Diagnótico da Coleta Seletiva na Vila Ipiranga, em Campo Grande-MS

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to present a diagnosis of the selective collection of recyclable solid waste in Vila Ipiranga, a subdivision of the Piratininga neighborhood, in the city of Campo Grande-MS. To achieve this objective, exploratory research was carried out, that is, a case study that aims to expand knowledge about the topic and the spatial scope adopted. The approach was qualitative and quantitative, covering: bibliographic and documentary research; direct research with residents selected in simple casual sampling, with data collection through an online questionnaire via Google Forms; field observations; and systematization and analysis of data. The study enabled a reflection on the topic, the historical review of the implementation of the selective collection program in the area and the characterization of its current operation, with the perception of how residents participate in the program and, also, the identification of some resulting environmental impacts.Finally, it is concluded that the management of urban solid waste (MSW) is a complex process, which involves the entire society and which demands important changes to meet the principles established in the National Solid Waste Policy. This includes the recognition of reusable and recyclable solid waste as an economic good with social value, a generator of work and income and a promoter of citizenship, which is only possible with selective collection programs. In Vila Ipiranga, the majority of residents interviewed need to expand their knowledge on the topic, so that they can participate in the selective collection program more efficiently.
