SUMMARY:

Civil construction is one of the activities that most cause environmental impacts in today's society, not only due to the extensive use of raw materials and the intrinsic transformation it produces in the environment, but mainly due to the inadequate disposal of waste. Despite the publication of laws, policies and standards related to the problem of solid waste, such as CONAMA Resolution 307 in 2002, PNRS in 2010 and NBR's, we can still see difficulties in the control, management and inspection of these wastes, either by the Public Power or by the private sector. The Municipality of Natal / RN does not have a Municipal Civil Construction Waste Management Plan, an instrument to be prepared by the municipalities and the Federal District, according to CONAMA Resolution No. 307. In view of the above, the main motivating question for this research was how management of waste from civil construction generated in the city of Natal / RN is currently taking place. Taking this issue as a starting point, the present study was prepared with the general objective of to analyze the current management of construction waste in the Municipality of Natal, from the perspectives of Brazilian legal-environmental regulations and sustainability. Considering the need to understand the management of RCC from a local perspective, the second stage of the research aimed to present a snapshot of how construction waste management takes place in Natal / RN, as well as to identify the gaps found for management as demand the official regulations. The methodology adopted was bibliographic and documentary research and semi-structured interviews were applied to some agents involved in the management process of the RCC in the Municipality, such as the public cleaning agency, the transport companies, the RCC landfill and a power plant. recycling. On-site visits and photographic records were also carried out at the landfill and at the plant. As result of this research, we found critical gaps in the legislation and lack of alignment with sustainability guidelines, especially with regard to recycling regulations. It was also possible to observe, in this section of the local scenario, that the practice of some agents is, in general, contrary to the ethical principles contained in the rules related to solid waste. The municipal public cleaning agency takes corrective actions instead of preventive measures, opting, until then, for the final disposal of waste in the first place and not considering RCC reuse and recycling practices. For waste management to be more efficient in Natal, there must be effort and political will, coupled with this, there is an urgent need for a consistent and long-term environmental education program aimed at the management of construction waste.
