Opis

Araxá currently has a high rate of waste production from the construction industry. It is estimated that every year the city disposes of around 87,000 tonnes of waste and with this eminent productivity, the management of this waste results in a precarious system. In view of the above, waste control, treatment, sorting and packaging are inoperative in accordance with CONAMA Resolution 307/2002. The municipality has a system of urban springs, which highlights the lack of waste management in the city. This complex is plagued by the devastation of preservation areas, which affects more than 26.2 per cent of these springs and often leads to the degradation, pollution and contamination of water sources. In the environment where this material is disposed of, there are some forms of waste separation by waste pickers, but nothing that is supervised or highly efficient. It should also be mentioned that the site does not only receive construction waste, which makes it difficult to reuse these materials, knowing that they are easily contaminated.
