The methodology used includes the analysis by the deductive method, externalized through a descending reasoning, taking as a premise the federal legislation and as a minor premise the case under study. The results show that there have been advances and setbacks in the management of these residues in the study area. A municipal solid waste plan has identified, however, the management, selective collection and adequate disposal of these wastes does not comply with some precepts of Federal Law.
