Duration

The mandatory creation of plans began in 2010.

Implementation Strategy

Decree No. 10.936/2022 regulates that the Plans include the work of waste pickers, allowing them to be hired by municipal departments to collect materials. The decree also stresses the importance of the plans being aligned with the Municipal Basic Sanitation Plan of the respective municipality.
 

Diffusion strategies

PGRS can be done in an integrated manner with other municipalities, as it is a regional plan.

Monitoring strategies

The National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR) monitors all information related to solid waste management in the country. The information is declared by the municipality itself to the MMA, manager of said system.

Financing mechanisms

PGRs must be aligned with the Municipal Basic Sanitation Plan.  Once the plan has been approved, the municipality will be able to access federal funds through agreements with Funasa or the Ministry of Cities.
