Abstract

The present work promoted the analysis of public solid waste management on the main commercial areas in the municipality of Caruaru-PE in order to check the waste collectors, evaluate the cleaning system and waste collection, evaluate the residues discarded to find out if they match with the category of public locations. The methodology used consisted of a data collection through a field research of descriptive character, besides the data analysis with qualitative approach. Through this research, it was detected that the collectors on the public ways are not enough and found in very bad conditions, the cleaning system and waste collector are not adequate to the vehicle traffic and pedestrians, the times must be adjusted to off-peak periods of the day, improving the quality of the cleaning system and avoiding risks and accidents. The residues discarded on public ways match with the category of residues found in public places with few exceptions that demand an Environmental Education Program raising awareness of the population regarding to the correct discard of the residues.
