The proper disposal of waste subject to excessive waste represents one of the most important socio-environmental issues facing today's society. In order to regulate the matter, Law nº 12.305/10, the National Politic on Solid Waste (NPSW), was criated, which symbolizes a mark in the national legal system, incorporating innovative principles and guidelines in order to address the shortcomings of Solid Waste Management in Brazil. In this context, stands out the important role assumed by the Countie for the implementation of the aforementioned Policy, because it is where the citizens reside, and, therefore, it is in its territory that the waste is discarded daily. However, many Brazilian Counties have not yet adequately implemented the requirements made by NPSW, especially those of small and medium size. Given this perspective, this paper aims to analyze solid waste management in Várzea Alegre, a medium- sized municipality located in the state of Ceará and its effectiveness in light of Law nº 12.305/10. To achieve the proposed objectives, the method of approach used is the deductive and the method of procedure is the exegetical-legal. In addition, the research fits as descriptive and exploratory and the research technique chosen is indirect documentation, based on bibliographic and documentary analysis. Given the study, it was found that the County of Várzea Alegre - CE has not yet satisfactorily met the requirements required by Law nº 12.305/10. However, it noted that the Municipal Public Administration has made efforts to implement proper management, especially with the establishment of a Public Consortium for Solid Waste Management. Given the importance of the theme, the adoption of some short-term and long-term measures by the County of Várzea Alegre - CE is essential to give effect to the requirements of Law nº 12.305/10.
