Abstract

The research aims to study the Environmental Public Civil Action originally proposed by the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources in 2005, to the detriment of the Municipality of Campina Grande -PB, which addresses the issue of final disposal of solid waste in the landfill, located in neighborhood Multirão, due to the presence of conflicts of social, economic, environmental, health and aesthetics, among others. With regard to methodology, the inductive method was applied that from the information gathered in this action made it possible to obtain general knowledge. In addition, it was used the methods of triangulation and hermeneutic-systemic context to work in a qualitative approach. It was employed also the methodological procedure of the case study, and the techniques of direct and indirect documentation, where the analysis came from the relevant literature review on the subject, and were then examined the procedures adopted in the course of this lawsuit until 2015. After that was made interviews with representatives of the Municipal Government of Campina Grande, the Cooperative´s Collectors and Collectors of Recyclable Materials of Campina Grande and Cultural Action Center. It was found that the former landfill of Campina Grande disrespected environmental legislation regarding the disposal of solid waste so that it was done in the open, as well as the proximity of the landfill to the airport increased the risk of serious air accidents; And the addition to environmental damage in relation to soil, flora, fauna, air and water, and social problems caused by the collectors´ work. In conclusion, the landfill of Campina Grande was off only after sentence is rendered and the process currently finds itself on appeal awaiting decision by the Superior Court. Then, from 2012 to mid-2015, solid waste began to be arranged in the landfill in Puxinanã - PB. And, in recent months, it is being exclusively used landfill in Catolé de Boa Vista - PB, while waiting for another solution.
