COLETA SELETIVA DE RESÍDUOS SÓLIDOS RECICLÁVEIS: ESTUDO DE CASO DO PONTO DE ENTREGA VOLUNTÁRIA DO IF GOIANO - RIO VERDE

Abstract

The population increase caused a proportional growth of solid urban waste (SUW) generated. As a result of this cause, differentiated collection appears, as a way to minimize the negative environmental, economic and social impacts resulting from this growth. The objective of this work was to evaluate quantitatively and qualitatively, based on gravimetric studies, how differentiated collection is being carried out at IF Goiano - Campus Rio Verde. Differentiated collection started in the second half of 2019, starting with the reform of the Voluntary Delivery Point (VDP) and with the help of Coop-Recicla, which collects solid recyclable waste (RSR) weekly. The gravimetric study was performed using the quartering method. The data from gravimetric studies show that the academic community, in 6 months, implemented and carried out the differentiated collection at the IF Goiano - Campus Rio Verde. The quantity of SUW, in relation to organic waste and waste, was satisfactory, since, in the evaluated period, it resulted in 7.52%, which meets the studies. It should be noted that in the first studies the rate was 22.67%.
