Fiorillo in its workmanship places that the denomination solid residue includes the discharges of solid materials proceeding from the industrial operations, commercial, agricultural and of the community. In other words, it affirms that solid garbage or residues is any rubbish, silt, lamas and splodges resultants of activities human beings of domestic, professional, agricultural, industrial, nuclear origin or of service. It considers despite these if constantly aggravate in result of the demographic growth of the urban nuclei and especially of the areas metropolitans. Given the conceptualization of Fiorillo regarding the garbage, this article is started saying that the increasing production of the garbage is closely on to the exacerbado consumerism that if it installed in the society in a general way, being a problem local, but not only planetary.
