Abstract

One of the main problems of modern society is the excessive generation of solid waste, contributing to environmental degradation, decharacterization of natural environments, and increased disease rates. This study consists of monitoring solid waste generation at the Mato Grosso do Sul State University in Coxim, MS, carried out by gravimetric weighing of all material generated, weekly, between the months of March, April and May. It was observed that the unit produces a small amount of waste, when compared to other units, therefore, with simple initiatives, proposed in this study, it is possible to further reduce solid waste generation at the unit.
