Abstract

The environmental problems caused by municipal solid waste (MSW) are still large. Even though landfill activity has been occurring over the years, this process is still a constant reality in Brazil, especially in smaller municipalities.

This work aims to propose a small landfill project for the municipality of Palmeirândia-MA. The creation of a sanitary landfill contributes to the control and correct disposal of solid waste, and also helps to minimize the emergence of diseases.

The sanitary landfill is the best alternative for the final provision of MSW compared to landfills and/or controlled landfills, what is more, the small-port sanitary landfill in the city of Palmeirândia-MA will safely store the waste, thus minimizing the damage caused to the environment.
