Abstract

This paper reports the analysis of an environmental issue in Rio Grande, RS, i. e., the city landfill. We analyzed the legal aspects regarding the issue of solid residues, national, state and city legislations. Besides, we identified the environmental impacts that occur when this waste is not properly treated. We reviewed the history and the characteristics of the city landfill and analyzed the proposal for a new landfill which was under construction at the time of this study. We discussed the socio-environmental aspects underlying the problem of the garbage, the existing landfill and the new landfill, thus, reflecting on the importance of Environmental Education to face this issue. We also analyzed the city proposal(s) concerning garbage and Environmental Education.
