Resumen:
With the continuous growth of the world population and an accelerated urbanization, the
generation of solid waste in cities is increasing every day. The management of these waste
deserves special attention, whereas improper handling can cause environmental damage and
impacts on human quality of life. From Law nº. 12.305/ 2010, which institutes the National
Solid Waste Politic (PNRS), guidelines are outlined to assist in the proper management of solid
waste, one of which is the elaboration of Municipal Plans for Integrated Solid Waste
Management (PMGIRS) by the municipalities. The law punctuates nineteen items, making up
a minimum content that the plans must cover. With the plans drawn up, cities gain an important
instrument to direct the management of their waste, however, it is important that they are made
according to the minimum content recommended by the PNRS, and have a minimum degree of
effectiveness. Thus, this work aims to evaluate the adequacy of municipal plans for integrated
management of solid waste in municipalities in the Agreste Paraibano, in accordance with the
minimum content required by Law nº. 12.305 / 2010. For this purpose, the Indicators Method
was adopted, which evaluates the plans on four aspects: service, quality, complexity and
potential. With the application of the method, the points that are in agreement and disagreement
with the legislation were observed, and later solutions were proposed for items that are sought
in disagreement with the minimum content required by law in order to assist public
administrations in improving their solid waste management policy. These solutions were given
a degree of priority using a GUT Matrix prioritization tool, thus configuring yet another
instrument that can assist public management.
