Abstract

This work aims to make an assessment on the management of waste generated by construction in the city of Imperatriz-MA, addressing the institutional structure, public policies and cleanliness executed by the municipality and the construction companies. The study was developed based on bibliographical research on the concepts and theoretical aspects related to the theme as waste, management, civil construction and urbanization; in documentary research to know mainly the legislation and public policies on waste, and in field research developed based on the application of a questionnaire in the institutions, with employees and businessmen in the area of management and cleaning of construction waste in the city. In this way, we learned about the environmental problem in Imperatriz generated by the construction sector, where deficiencies in the management and control of waste management and cleaning services, as well as a lack of collaboration among citizens, are obvious causes. With this diagnosis, some suggestions were proposed to adjust the public policies in order to raise awareness, demand and even restrain entrepreneurs and citizens to actively collaborate in order not to contaminate the city of Imperatriz with construction waste.
