This dissertation evaluates the challenges of solid waste management in small municipalities in the state of Amapá, in the view of the National Policy on Solid Waste-PNRS, aimed foresees solving problems related to health and environmental protection, from division responsibilities (society, government and the private sector) .These municipalities are face difficulty to meet these provisions, mainly by financial problems and the ecological condition of the state, with about 70% of its territory consists of sheltered area, which ultimately restrict the place for the implementation of landfills and increases the requirement for the preparation of plans. Given this circumstance and the observation that in the state there are few studies addressing the topic, this research sought to survey these challenges and the actions of those involved from the diagnosis made in fourteen municipalities. The study was conducted in two stages, the preliminary (bibliographic survey) and confirmatory (questionnaires with Public managers and visits to municipalities). With the data it was possible to mount the diagnosis of solid waste management, indicating: 1) the actions that municipalities are adopting, 2) efforts (still considered insufficient to guarantee the determinations of PNRS), in general it was observed that the ball municipal remains oblivious to this issue, without investing in this policy and hasen ́t been identified any significant initiative, 3) the environmental and social problems associated with the improper disposal of waste, which demonstrate the need to think of effective public policies that promote integration between environmental legislation and urban, 4) the prospects for compliance with policy and mainly 5) measures that can be implemented (policies and joint actions for the cities that make up the research universe). Therefore proposes the construction of a permanent process of management through various actions, with emphasis on the development of Waste Management Plans, eradication of the dumps, remediation of blighted areas for activity, installation of landfills, political system deployment reverse and selective collection, which hasen ́t been met by all the small municipalities of Amapá.
