Gestão de resíduos de construção e demolição aplicada no município do Recife

Abstract

Civil construction is one of the sectors with the largest participation in the Brazilian economy. However, the high dynamism of this activity leads to an increase in the generation of construction and demolition waste (RCD), promoting greater environmental impacts if managed improperly. For this reason, it becomes relevant to know the main measures adopted by civil construction companies and by the municipal bodies competent for the prevention and final destination of these wastes. This study presents an exposition of the main management policies of construction and demolition waste adopted by the public management of the city of Recife and in five works located in the municipality. In order to do this, we carried out on-site visits to buildings and to the Urban Maintenance and Cleaning Company (EMLURB), in order to obtain data pertinent to the research. The data were collected through interviews, using an electronic questionnaire associated to the virtual platform Google Forms as an instrument. The information acquired was verified according to the guidelines of CONAMA Resolution Nº 307/2002. Thus, it was verified the existence of municipal legislations on the adequate destination of RCD that assign responsibilities to the companies and the municipal organs of urban cleaning. Regarding waste management, it was verified that the type of disposal most adopted among the companies of this study was the collection and final disposal of private landfills, while one of the companies adopts the waste recycling service for reuse in the work.
