Lixo orgânico em Santarém-PA: problemática e oportunidades

Abstract

The study was developed in the city of Santarém in the state of Pará with the objective of esteeming the amount of organic residues produced in the residences. The universe used for the study limited to 96 houses distributed in 16 neighborhoods in Santarém. The analyses showed that as larger the larger purchasing power is the production of organic residues, in Santarém this can be explained due the classes of smaller purchasing power present a tendency of better use of the sources of foods therefore tends less waste. This work didn't approach relationship the production of residues with the education levels. Risings of residues were accomplished in fairs, slaughterhouses and freezers of bovine, birds and fish. Of these they were identified as producing of residues organic zero the Frigorífico Ribeiro and AVISPARÁ 2012. The other freezers are in phase of adaptation of their projects, the information are not enough to esteem the produced residues. While the freezer the one of fish visited as well as the other two fish freezers in Santarém presented in his/her project the same destination of residues, or be residues thrown in the middle of the river in front of city. For the Freezer A with six months of larger production approximately 100 sacks are thrown by each one in the middle of the river weighing medium of 36,8 Kg each one. In the other 6 months of low productivity that reduces for 10 sacs/day. his rising of information has importance to give a direction for public politics in the case of the appropriate destination of solid residues.
