The National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) establishes the principles, objectives, instruments and guide-
lines for the integrated management and management of solid waste, indicating the responsibilities of

generators, public authorities, and consumers, and it is incumbent upon the Federal District and the

Municipalities to integrated management of solid waste generated in the respective territories. How-
ever, many Brazilian municipalities are not complying with what is proposed in the PNRS or the stip-
ulated deadlines, in addition to not yet implementing the provision of selective collection service

properly. The objective of the research is to carry out, at first, a diagnosis of the urban solid waste
management system in the municipality of Miracema, jointly evaluating its evolution over the years,

aiming to identify the obstacles that the public administration encounters to provide the services col-
lection, transportation, treatment and final disposal. Subsequently, propose a model for providing se-
lective collection, taking advantage of the infrastructure of the current cooperative of collectors and

integrating autonomous collectors. The research was carried out through a bibliographic review, doc-
umentation analysis and data collection in the field. The elaboration of the diagnosis and of the mu-
nicipal selective collection program constitutes a guiding instrument for the public power that will

allow the interruption of the irregular sorting of waste from conventional collection, increase the use-
ful life of the sanitary landfill, reduce costs with transport and final disposal of tailings.
