Caracterização do descarte de resíduos sólidos urbanos quanto à percepção dos moradores na Comunidade Morro da Lagartixa, bairro Costa Barros, Rio de Janeiro – RJ

Abstract

The aim of this work was to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the direct and indirect effects of improper disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and household waste in the Morro da Lagartixa community, Costa Barros neighborhood, Rio de Janeiro-RJ. The methodology of this research is based on a bibliographic review composed of two articles. The literature review allowed for a profound understanding of the overall context of solid waste management, its practices, and challenges on a national and international scale. Based on the information provided, it can be concluded that proper management of household waste has the potential to mitigate environmental issues and minimize harm to society. This serves as a link between governmental initiatives and individual responsibility, promoting a more harmonious relationship between humanity and the natural world, which becomes increasingly crucial as society advances.
