Issues related to waste generation and their inadequate disposal in the environment is not a privilege of contemporary society. The numerous environmental disasters resulting from this inadequate provision, coupled with popular pressures, have led governments to draft laws to reverse this framework. Among these laws is No. 12,305 which deals with the National Policy on Solid Waste in Brazil. This legislation, in addition to establishing the policy, educates citizens about attitudinal changes, clarifying principles, objectives and instruments with regard to integrated management and solid waste management, as well as jointly holding offenders accountable. Under this theme is the Federal University of Cariri, which needs to develop and implement a management plan for solid waste generated on its campuses, in compliance with the principles established in Law No. 12,305. Thus, the objective of this work is to propose a management plan for solid waste generated at UFCA - Campus Juazeiro do Norte. The idea is to propose a plan that, complying with Federal Law guidelines, ensures that all campus activities are controlled to prevent environmental pollution and consequences for human health. In order to achieve this goal, all waste generators of the campus were identified, the types of waste produced by each generator were classified and the gravimetric composition and specific weight of the analyzed waste were determined. From the results obtained it was found that the solid waste generators in the study area are the sectors of classrooms, administrative rooms, offices, auditorium, library, warehouses, warehouses, bathrooms, university restaurant, canteen, bathrooms, laboratories and gardens. external and internal areas, as well as the construction sector with the urbanization and maintenance works. On average, 76.65 Kg / day of waste is generated from the areas mentioned, excluding, in this percentage, restaurant waste
university, construction and garden pruning. About composition, approximately 90% are of class II-A. Of these, 40.53% are organic, 20.67% are toilet paper, 18.59% are plastic and 6.7% are paper. As for packaging, the different types of waste are disposed of in a single external storage location. In light of the above, it is suggested, among other measures, that a policy of non-generation, reduction and reuse of waste generated be instituted.
