Abstract

Waste management is a global issue of great relevance today due to several factors. In Brazil, the issue of garbage disposal and solid waste treatment is not yet mature and is not equated with other State activities. The exponential growth of the spatial distribution of dumps has as its privileged stage the metropolises. In Belém, the spatiality of the garbage dumps is diverse and found throughout the municipality on vacant lots, street corners, and canalside. This fact has been recurring for years and has become a major challenge that can only be resolved through a wide range of cooperation between public power and civil society based on public policies, environmental education, among others. Thus, this paper aims to foster the debate on State Responsibility regarding the existence and spatialization of irregular urban garbage dumps on the edge of canals located in the peripheral zone of the municipality of Belém. The procedures helped to find that irregular deposits of garbage is spread homogeneously on all sides in different amounts, especially debris, wood / tree pruning and household waste.
