This work presents an evaluation of the solid waste management in Jijoca de Jericoacoara, Brazil, of significant environmental and tourist relevance. It was elaborated from the evaluation stages of the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan, data collection with the municipalityof Jijoca of Jericoacoara, on-site visit and subsequent analysis of the information obtained. Overall, the Plan, launched in 2015 and planned for 20 years, meets the minimum requirements required by law; in addition, 57% of its proposed actions have already been completed. Currently, the major problem of the municipality in relation to solid waste management is the large generation (mainly due to the intense tourist flow) and the inadequate waste disposal, which occurs in an open dump. However, the municipality has obtained interesting results with the selective collection program and the support to the wasterpickers Cooperative. From March 2016 to December 2018, 380 tons of recyclable materials were sold by the Cooperative, avoiding their disposal in the dump. Glass residue with undefined degradation time, cormprised to more than 50% of the mass sold. The success presented so far by the Cooperative can be explained by the Cooperative's articulation with the Prefecture and with local entrepreneurs, a strategy that can serve as a model for other organizations of this type. The diagnosis provided the knowledge of the local reality, however, there is a need to develop more effective actions that better guide the city's decisions regarding the management of its waste.
