ANALYSIS OF CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the procedures and stages of solid construction waste (SW) management in the municipality of Coremas-PB, as well as its correct disposal. Observations and photographic records were taken of the main construction projects underway in the city, in order to verify the handling and packaging of construction waste in these buildings. Bibliographical research was used to present the legal and regulatory aspects currently in force in Brazil, in the state of Paraíba and especially in the municipality in question. The management of this waste was also evaluated, considering the stages of storage and packaging, transportation, final disposal, reduction, reuse and recycling, some of which were found to be inadequate. This is a city in which the processes of reducing, recycling and reusing this waste are not widely disseminated or practiced, despite their essential nature. Added to this is the difficulty in accessing recycling plants, of which there is only one in the state of Paraíba, located in João Pessoa, thus hindering the recycling process due to its economic unfeasibility.
