disposal in Brazil. Planned to reach 100% of all Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) collected and treated
in landfills by Aug. 2
nd, 2014, until nowadays, 42% of this total remains in dumps. Even the most
important national economic region treating its urban waste in landfills, what it has is no more than
4% of recycling and its landfills reaching the exhaustion.
