ANALYSIS OF CONFLICTS AND AMBIGUITIES IN THE PROCESS OF SELECTIVE COLLECTION PROGRAMS IMPLEMENTATION IN THE CITIES OF SANTO ANDRÉ AND MAUÁ
With the increase in the production of solid waste its destination becomes a problem present on the governmental agenda. With the current production of solid waste the United Nations (UN) estimates that in 2050 production will increase by 350%. One way to tackle this problem is the recycling of solid waste. Given this context the following work seeks to analyze the implementation of selective collection programs in Brazil, a measure provided for in the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS). The objective of this work is to identify how the selective collection programs were implemented in Mauá and Santo André using the implementation analysis model proposed by Matland (1995). To this end, a comparative case study was carried out in order to map ambiguities and conflicts existing at the time of implementation. The data were collected by reading texts, documents, and reports. There were also interviews and observations in both cities. Finally, the ambiguity in the selective collection was proven by the various existing selective collection methods. While the conflict was identified in the dispute for the offer of the service. Therefore it can be concluded, from Matland (1995), that the implementation of the selective collection programs was a symbolic implementation.
