The aim of this research was to investigate potential destination for Urban Solid Residues (USR) generated in Tubarão town - SC. To develop this work, a review was performed on the management legal situation of USR in Brazil. Environmentally appropriated destination ways for USR were still highlighted, those successfully in Brazil and around the world. Next, the current situation of the USR management was surveyed. Thereunto, visits were carried out to the Town Hall, to the enterprise responsible by the transportation of USR in town, and to the enterprise responsible by the USR screening in town that posteriorly are deposited in a landfill managed by Serrana Engenharia. Only in Tubarão, 25.137 millions of tons of USR are generated yearly, and just 2.7% are collected by selective collect. The selective collection attends only 83% of neighborhoods; however, in a very low intensity when compared to the common garbage collection. Some places in Brazil are adhering to innovative models for residue management, like the example of Hospital Sírio-libanês that installed a vacuum garbage system. The hospital mentioned received the prize Green Building Gold, granted to sustainable buildings. However, there is much to be done, because in a near future the abundance of raw material will not be the same currently. Then, a new approach to the USR will be necessary. Among them, there are materials which can be recycled several times, and nowadays they are deposited in landfills. Different type of plastic may be used in diverse ways. In building, for example, there are techniques validated to produce PET roof tiles, module formworks for concrete in recycled polypropylene, further a house built with different types of plastic. The innovative idea of the house won the prize The Venture, addressed to social aspect startups. So, it is possible infer this research reached the aims proposed, because the USR management situation in Brazil was identified. The law number 6.938/81highlights the need to search ways for materials used by the population present a longer lifecycle, covering the reuse and recycling in their stages. Nevertheless, little encouragement is offered by the public management in the country. So, it is also possible conclude there is need for population awareness programs, once the residues generated by it are, in fact, materials with great potential to be transformed in new products. However, changing a culture is a hard work, which can take until three generations to be done.
