Riassunto

The intensification of production and the use of technology, fostered by the industrial revolutions, has increased access to the consumption of technological products. Thus, with a view to dealing with solid waste, including electronic waste, in 2010 Brazil implemented Law 12.305, which established the national solid waste policy and enabled the creation of municipal policies. In this sense, the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes instituted its municipal solid waste policy in 2011 by means of Law 8.232. The aim of this study is therefore to analyze the dynamics of dumping and collecting e-waste at the public points specified by the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes. In order to achieve the proposed objective, a quantitative-qualitative study was carried out, in which national and municipal legislation relating to e-waste was analyzed. Visits were also made to the municipality's collection points and questionnaires were administered via Google forms to the population living in the municipality's main district, using snowball sampling. The work revealed that there is a need to expand e-waste collection points in Campos dos Goytacazes.
