This thesis addresses the management of household solid waste in Bethlehem, its treatment and the possibility of generating income through recycling of solid waste. In order to understand the solid waste management and recycling market in the city Bethlehem this thesis examined the current structure of waste management and collection work done by selective Belém Prefecture (PMB). Will also be objects of study in this work the legislation that deals with specific issues of solid waste, established with the Solid Waste Policy, through the National Environment Council (CONAMA) in which we highlight the current National Policy on Solid Waste Management. It started from the assumption that in Bethlehem the difference between waste generated and waste introduced into the recycling process is very large, so that the productivity of recycling processes is insufficient. The survey was conducted using data from the State Department of Environment (SEMA), the Municipal Sanitation (SESAN), the Municipal Coordination and Project Management (SEGEP) and the Department of Municipal Solid Waste (DRES) as well as through the use of questionnaires and interviews with officials involved in the recycling chain. From the analysis conducted for the dissertation found that waste management in the city is still deficient, the survey shows that only two districts served by the Bethlehem home selective collection, the landfill that the city is working with its ability Support exhausted and that way the city government is very far from the standards to fit the new National Policy on Solid Waste Management (PNRS).
