• Abstract:

  The present work aims to present the impacts of the ten years of the Law that established the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) in the management of Urban Solid Waste (MSW), using the city of São Paulo as a panorama. The research was divided into three stages: exploratory, descriptive and analytical. Indicators separated into 5 groups were used: 1-Generation; 2-Cost and Financing; 3-Productivity; 4- Recycling and 5-Institutional, the first four quantitative groups, analyzed through tables and graphs prepared with raw data from the National Sanitation Information System - Solid Waste (SNIS-RS) and the last with reference to article 19 of the Law Number: 12,305/2010, compared to the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan (PGIRS) of the city of São Paulo. The municipal plan covers the necessary points addressed in the Law, however, the practice, according to the data analyzed, has been very far from ideal. It is noted that the PNRS Law marks the beginning of a greater visibility and importance to the theme, mainly to the proper disposal, but it is still not very effective in action.
