Estudo da concepção e instalação de uma central de triagem e compostagem de resíduos sólidos urbanos em um município de pequeno porte

Abstract

Due to advances in industrialization processes and the various acquisitions made by human activities, the environment now receives a daily amount of solid waste that ends up harming the environment in which we live. The waste that is generated by us, comes from all our daily uses, such as simple activities in our homes, even the waste generated in industrial sectors. The speed of transformation at which the world has been going, makes clear the need for new ways of dealing with the problem of waste. Thinking about it, with the accomplishment of this work, we tried to help the population to create more conscious habits, showing that the residues can gain a new form of use and, the sorting and composting plants come to show this possibility in a practical way. Through these new practices, it will be possible to reuse / recover recyclable waste and compost organic waste, giving a new purpose to materials that previously had no value, and which will now be generating income for the municipality, in the form of the sale of themselves, and also providing various jobs to citizens. The investments required for the construction of a sorting and composting plant - UTC, were estimated at R $ 185,000.00, assuming that the municipality already has an area for construction, and the return time required to fund this investment revolves around 12 months, if venda of the composted material and all recyclable waste are sold.
