| Summary: | A large portion of MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) in the city of Campinas is made up of recyclable material, however, the recovery rate of recyclables in relation to the amount of MSW collected is only 1.29%. The objective of this research was to characterize inorganic MSW confined in two lysimeters built at Unicamp, aged 4 years, in order to quantify and characterize recyclable materials. A characterization of the gravimetric composition in 14 categories was performed, totalizing 4.256 kg of wastes. As an important result, about 65% of the MSW corresponded to materials with recyclable potential. |
