The Civil construction is a sector that requires many natural resources and it generates a lot of waste, generating around 150 million tons of waste in 2014. It is observed that many of these residues do not return to the value chain, due to the lack of incentive policies or laws that punishes the transgressors, or the lack of initiative of the companies in the sector. Given the importance of the topic, the number of studies in the sector is considered low. On this, the present work seeks to contribute to the theme of reverse logistics, increasing studies in the specific area of civil construction. Therefore, the work theme is: Reverse Logistics for the environmentally correct destination of solid waste generated by construction. The research has as general objective the mapping of the stages and activities of the return cycle for the reuse or the final destination environmentally correct of the Construction and Demolition waste, identifying the companies involved in this reverse channel. This project is an applied research, with a qualitative research approach, of an exploratory nature and with an experimental field study. The research method was a bibliographical and documentary research, with a single case study, done in the field with a medium sized company responsible for the construction at UFABC. However, the study was done with information from another site, as it had a sustainable construction certification. The instrument of data collection was a semi-structured questionnaire and the sources for the research were personal interviews and analysis of reports and documents.
