Abstract

The National Policy for Solid Wastes was established in Brazil in August 2010 to monitor strategies that aggregate rate to wastes and provide inclusion and social control so that the State would acquire adequate management according to international standards. Current assay analyzed the operationality of the treatment and final disposal of solid wastes in Campo Grande MS Brazil so that the degree of involvement and perception of the economy of Campo Grande could be assessed within a new development phase. The above occurred after the publication of Law 12305 on the National Policy for Solid Wastes when a visit was planned to the sewage treatment landfill of the municipality to evaluate the management and disposal of Solid Wastes in the capital city of Mato Grosso do Sul by quality, descriptive and exploratory research techniques. Results show that the municipality is a long way off from standards and international models of sustainability.
