Gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos urbanos: uma solução computacional

Abstract

Urban solid waste (MSW) management is a growing challenge in Brazil due to the increase in waste generation and inadequate disposal practices. Although municipal collection serves a large part of the population, its inefficiency causes waste accumulation on the streets, environmental contamination and the proliferation of insects and diseases. The solution presented in this work, called SICoL (Intelligent Urban Solid Waste Collection System), seeks to mitigate this problem through a system that assists citizens during waste disposal and the government during its collection and management. Tests have proven the system's ability to promote sustainable practices during disposal and more efficient collections, and to reduce environmental impacts caused by the accumulation of garbage on the streets.
