Análise da gestão de resíduos sólidos em conjunto habitacional: um estudo no Villa das Jaqueiras, Jaboatão dos Guararapes, Pernambuco

Abstract

The solid waste management of Villa das Jaqueiras, vertical condominium of the “Minha Casa, Minha Vida” program, located in the city of Jaboatão dos Guararapes, state of Pernambuco, was analyzed, identifying the profile of the owners and the treatment given to solid waste, both by the administrators and by the residents. The understanding of the condominium community about solid waste was investigated, through the application of a questionnaire with the condominium community, and the knowledge of the administrators, through audio-recorded interviews, with previously elaborated questions. Finally, the solid waste generated by the residents was quantitatively and qualitatively characterized. As a result, superficial levels of knowledge about solid waste management were identified by those responsible for the condominium; condominium owners have, on average, a young profile, single, higher education, where more than half separate their waste for recycling, and are able to contribute to the condominium's solid waste management, as long as they have some return and, therefore, showing some sensitivity to the Environment, an aspect that needs to be better worked on. A four-page Solid Waste Management Program proposal was also prepared, oriented towards housing purposes, suitable for a condominium with residential purpose, where the document describes all the treatment given to solid waste, from packaging in the waste center until destination. The implementation of environmental management instruments, in the most diverse types of projects, whether commercial, industrial, or residential, can bring benefits to the surroundings, positively impacting the community in which they operate, in addition to avoiding the application of sanctions by the public agencies responsible for urban planning and the environment
