Resumo:
The National Solid Waste Policy - PNRS was instituted by the 12.305/2010 National Law, and stablishes the guidelines to the suitable management of solid waste. There has been over 7 years since the regulation was implemented and the towns, the ones responsible for the residues management inside their territories, did very little to meet the injunctions. Looking for solutions that facilitate the achievement of the norms, this paper's central objective is to analyze the viability of creating a consortion of solid waste management in the towns of the Paraíba's Cariri. Among the methodological procedures, it has been done a primary data collection with the application of a questionnaire in 10 towns situated in the region of the Paraíba's Cariri, with the purpose of identify, considering the period from January to August of 2017, the current waste situation, to evaluate the financial capabilities, as well as the possibilities of investment; for the secondary data collection, there has been done the consult to the websites of the Court of Auditors of the State of Paraíba and the SAGRES Cidadão. As the research's results, it was verified that the towns didn't develop to attend the PNRS, and that the majority of them isn't financially capable of accomplishing investments in the field. Therefore, it was concluded that the creation of a public consortion is a viable alternative to attend the 12.305/2010 Law to the majority of the researched towns.
