Abstract

This dissertation presents a study on solid waste management in Brazilian cities with up to 100,000 inhabitants, focusing on the need to replace dumps with landfills. The work addresses the challenges of environmental management and proposes solutions for the adequate disposal of waste, aiming to preserve public health and the environment. The research includes a literature review and suggests the construction of a landfill as a viable alternative to mitigate the negative impacts of dumps, as well as discussing the importance of environmental education and community involvement.
