Abstract

There is more and more care on environmental issues, from public managers and from the society. There is a slow, but positive, moving toward a cultural change on solid waste management. Trying to stop the neglect from municipal managers, among other objectives, that result on the lack of planning on waste treatment, was edited the Law Nº 12.305 on august 2010 – PNRS/2010 (Portuguese abbreviation of Solid Waste National Policy) that create the Solid Waste National Policy. The objective of this study is to identify how prefectures are adapting to Law Nº 12.305 from august 2010 – PNRS/2010 on their government of the 26 cities that belong to the 15th Regional Coordinating Body of Rio Grande do Sul (CRS – abbreviation in Portuguese), specifically on the obligations about solid waste management. Another objective is to identify, through news on websites of the municipal administration and electronic newspapers, how the Law Nº 12.305 from august 2010 is reverberating in the public policy. The study methodology is a qualitative quantitative descriptive exploratory approach, organized on four periods: exploratory bibliographic research; websites analyze; collected data organization and results. For data collect was considered that Rio Grande do Sul state have 497 cities, and for an empirical cut the websites from the 26 cities of the 15th CRS, as well as electronics newspapers websites, were used. For searching criteria was used the word: city name and solid waste. On search result analysis, it has been discovered that in the cities belonging to the 15th CRS the concern on solid waste managing is growing, something that wasn't happening before the PNRS/2010. A part of the analyzed cities are attempting to meet the provisions of the Law Nº 12.305 from august 2010 – PNRS/2010, trying to reduce environmental impacts resultant of improper waste management, although a part of these cities are still creating the Solid Waste Integrated Management City Plan.
