Efetividade das políticas públicas: implementação do gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos nos municípios paraibanos

Abstract

The struggle for the preservation and conservation of the environment over the years has gone from a discursive aspect, to a social and legal reality, that much has to be done, to guarantee the minimum of dignity of the processes of sustainability and guarantee of the rights of the generations. Environmental degradation is a reality that is growing every day, as a result of the final destination of solid waste. Law No. 12,305, approved in 2010, has emerged as a need for these legal processes to guarantee respect for the environment. In this sense, operational guidelines have been issued for the implementation of municipal solid waste plans, since these federative entities carry with them the responsibility of ending the "dumps" or other type of destination prohibited by law. This article analyzes the practical effectiveness in the municipalities of Paraíba, in view of the need for legal adaptation, which has already exceeded all legal deadlines set for the implementation of the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS). Thus, for a better perception of the current situation, constant data were analyzed in bibliographical, documentary and institutional studies sources, where it was verified that the efforts were few at State level of Paraíba, because there are only 19 management units, of which only 11 have an operating license. It is observed that the high costs for the construction of management units influence in the small amount of these, however the units are not restricted to the big cities, like João Pessoa and Campina grande, which shows that the implementation of environmental policies depends on the financial organization of municipalities of medium and small size or the capacity for forming partnerships, as in the cases of intermunicipal consortia.
