The proper disposal of waste from various human activities is a major challenge for society. This research therefore investigates the performance of solid waste management in the municipality of Imperatriz in 2016 and 2017. To this end, a bibliographic survey was initially carried out, followed by field research at the Municipal Department of Infrastructure, Transportation and Public Services of Imperatriz-MA, with analysis of the records of manual collection and transportation of household, commercial, sweeping and tree pruning waste, and final disposal of waste in the years 2016 and 2017, in order to understand how solid waste management developed and the problems faced. The data obtained showed that although they are different administrations, the handling, collection and final disposal of waste in the period studied did not show significant changes, however the current administration stands out for its interest in setting up the Sanitary Landfill in Imperatriz, the construction project for this work was released after the execution of the Municipal Plan for Integrated Solid Waste Management - PMGIRS, 2018, which will enable the dump to be extinguished.
