Análise do sistema da recolha de resíduos sólidos: estudo de caso da Vila Municipal de Quissico (2019-2023)

Abstract

This project aims to analyze the solid waste collection and treatment system in the village of Quissico between 2019 and 2023. In Mozambique, waste production per inhabitant/year is estimated at around 10,500 domestic tons and/or 3.8 million tons per year. However, collection coverage is generally characterized by a reduced level of collection service coverage, with only 26.2% of the urban population covered by this service. Fact related to the inefficient collection system and results in excessive overall costs, this being evidence of the difficulty of expanding the collection service in peripheral municipal areas (PDUL, 2021). Improper disposal of household solid waste is a practice unfortunately common in most municipalities in Mozambique, causing serious consequences for the environment and public health (COSSA, 2016). In addition to analyzing the solid waste collection and treatment system in the village, specifically, the work will identify the causes of the increase in solid waste in this village; describe the solid waste collection process and finally map the solid waste collection points in Quissico.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
