Proposta de gestão dos resíduos sólidos em uma escola do Ensino Profissionalizante de Manaus

Abstract

The general objective of this dissertation was to present a proposal for a solid waste management plan for vocational schools, with reference to the SENAI Antônio Simões School in Manaus. In order to do so, it was specifically aimed at: conducting a bibliographic survey and legislation on solid waste management; to disclose the guidelines of the plan, presenting to students and employees, the signaling and distribution of collection points and the projection of solid waste collectors, more appropriate to the reality of the school; and propose the methodology for the implementation and evaluation of the results of the plan. The present dissertation sought to answer the problem delimited to the following question: how can the SENAI Antônio Simões School contribute to avoid environmental problems arising from the generation of solid waste from its educational processes? The hypothesis that guided the research was based on the premise that the elaboration and implementation of a waste management plan, in accordance with current legislation, will contribute to reduce the impact caused by the school on the environment. The methodology adopted in the elaboration of the dissertation is characterized as a qualitative theoretical research, the result of a bibliographical research, a case study and a documentary research in the school object of analysis and in the applicable legislations, in the federal, state and municipal spheres. The accomplishment of the present work sought to make a contribution to the SENAI Antônio Simões School, because although it works in a respected area of professional educational services, belonging to the National Industrial Learning Service (SENAI), which operates at the national level, school does not have a solid waste management plan, duly drawn up and implemented. The results lead to the conclusion that the SENAI Antônio Simões School and the entire SENAI educational system can have broad benefits by implementing, in the daily life of their schools, the stages and practices of the proposed plan suggestion, with the reduction of their expenditures with inputs, while also reducing waste and negative impacts on the environment.
