SELECTIVE COLLECTION: CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES FOR SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF SOLID WASTE IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF CACOAL/RO

The present work aims, based on a diagnosis of the current functioning of solid waste collection and in accordance with the current normative framework, to propose management solutions for the effective implementation of selective collection in the Municipality of Cacoal, with the intervention of the Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Rondônia in guaranteeing an ecologically balanced environment for present and future generations. The issue addressed is based on the serious socio-environmental problems caused by the inefficient management of urban solid waste and, consequently, on the need to adapt public policies and governance to implement an effective system of selective collection of recyclables in the Municipality of Cacoal. In this context, where the defense of the environment, constitutionally protected, is one of the principles of the economic order and it is the duty of the Public Power and the community to defend and preserve it for present and future generations, this research emerges as an opportunity to explore the practical problem and its hypotheses in order to solve the demand, assisting in the intervention of the Public Prosecutor's Office, by proposing an appropriate management process. As a general objective, it is intended to describe and analyze the deficiencies in solid waste management in the Municipality of Cacoal/RO and, based on a paradigm shift, propose a Conduct Adjustment Agreement to be signed between the Municipality of Cacoal and the Public Prosecutor's Office, with the purpose of structuring the selective collection system in the Municipality of Cacoal, establishing shared responsibility for the product life cycle, environmental education, and technical cooperation between the public and private sectors for environmentally appropriate final disposal of waste. Regarding the methodology, the research approach is mixed, the nature is applied, the study objective is descriptive and explanatory, and the procedures are predominantly bibliographical, documentary, field, and survey. In this perspective, as it is a Professional Master's Program in Human Rights and Justice Development, the proposed product aims at the implementation and operationalization of selective collection of recyclable solid waste, with defined strategies for the action of the Municipal Executive Power
