Abstract

This article aims to evaluate the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte with regard to the planning and management of Ur­ban Solid Waste (USW), considering the complexity of the USW management chain of the region. This research performed a primary and secondary data analysis, verifying the compliance with the Brazilian Federal Law 12.305/10 and applying a questionnaire to check the presence of variables that influence in the management of USW. The results show that the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte follows what is proposed by the Federal Law 12.305/10, but as for the presence of variables influencing in the management of USW, the municipality of Belo Horizonte lacks three variables in its manage­ment system: financial incentive, urban infrastructure and plant incineration.

Keywords: National Policy on Solid Waste; management of urban solid waste in Belo Horizonte; metropolitan plan of solid waste; Belo Horizonte; urban solid waste.
