Abstract

The solid waste management is a tool that enables the organization of the entire production process, collection, environmentally friendly transport and disposal of solid waste of different origins, in every single part of the world. The justification of applying this tool in the management of agriculture waste comes from its relevance in the current scenario, according to the Solid Waste Nacional Policy (Law no. 12.305/2010), in addition to the fact these wastes are more likely to pollute and contaminate the water resources, mainly due to the use of pesticides and fertilizers or due to large-scale production in confinements (or CAFO, “concentraded animal feed operations”). The search for a solution to the socio-environmental problems due to accumulation, destination and lack of appropriate treatment of solid waste has aroused discussions, mobilizations and intense search for alternatives aimed at sustainable environmental balance and through this incentive that this work aims to propose mitigation measures and corrective actions for the waste management in one of the campus of the Federal University of Sergipe, applying the PNRS and creating an Environmental Management Plan. As an essential part of the creation of this plan were used gravimetric analysis techniques of waste and calculation of the generation per capita of the population in order to become aware of how serious the situation was and what actions would be taken to solve this problem.
