Compostagem: uma Alternativa de Material Nobre para a Utilização em Hortas e Jardins

Abstract

The treatment and final destination of solid residues have turn out to be processes of great importance in the environmental and social policies. The segregation of residues and the selective collect enable the adequate destination of these residues, allowing the transformation of the recycable residues in raw material for the industry and the organic residues in compost to be used in agriculture and gardening. It is possible to participate in the Environmental preservation decreasing considerably the quantity of the organic residues sent to sanitary landfills, through the processes of compound and vermin compound, increasing useful life of these very residues and improving the quality of soil where such compound is utilized. Based on the exposed, this project realized the environmental awareness of the community of the Victor Konder District, through the setting of the compounders and vermin compounders in pilot scales at FURB, and applying questionnaires to 795 people at the Technical School Vale do Itajai and at the National Industrial Service, in high school. The orientation of the benefits proportioned by the process of segregation of solid residues and its treatment enable to relate the theoretical knowledge with activities of day-to-day, rethinking attitudes to understand the Environment.
