• Abstract:

  The increase in population and consequent increase in consumption of products has generated a significant increase in problems arising from solid waste. In order to deal with this problem, society has created laws and instruments. The objective of this article is to describe and analyze the current solid waste collection chain in the municipality of Barretos-SP, in order to identify measures to improve the process aimed at the circular economy, thus proposing the project contract. The work is qualitative in nature, by applied purpose, descriptive depth, as the source of documentary and field data, and quasi-experiment design. From a questionnaire and bibliographic research, it was possible to identify that, although there is no regular selective collection, the collection chain is being structured. In view of the facts, the improvement project was prepared as a suggestion to operationalize the process of the selective collection and reverse logistics chain in the city, aiming at the concept of circular economy and population awareness through environmental education.
