Abstract :

Improper disposal of waste is one of the biggest problems facing humanity. In this sense, the research aimed to survey on the knowledge of the residents in the vicinity of a channel Arruda stretch in the urban area of Recife (Pernambuco), about the solid waste. The methodology presented a qualitative and quantitative approach, with questionnaires to 80 residents, divided into two areas of study, differentiated by housing proximity of Arruda channel. Despite showing their concern with the waste into the canal, note that the actions do not follow the observed speech: the channel is degraded and the local population continues to launch their inappropriate way of waste on the environment.
