Abstract

The National Sanitation Policy, Law 11.445/2007, and the National Waste Policy, Law 12.305/2010, regulate municipal sanitation, and both present municipal plans as tools: sanitation and integrated waste management, with the possibility of joining both documents. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the correlation between both plans, as well as their integration, by analyzing the plan of a city in São Paulo’s state, Brazil. In order to analyze this plan – regarding the policies previously mentioned –, we developed a comparison matrix, which contemplates subsections I to XIX from Law n. 12.305/2010 and proposes verification items to collect objective evidence and characterizes requirements as met, partially met or not met. The results provide evidence that the plan does not present the minimum content required and that it is harmful for municipal waste planning. Therefore, it is necessary to complement the plan. Also, the matrix developed for this analysis proved to be adequate for this kind of analysis, of easy comprehension. It is also easily replicable in similar situations, even for the comparison of several plans.
