With the development of humanity, various forms of pollution to the environment also arise, generating significant environmental impacts, affecting, for example, soil fertility, aquifers, biodiversity, and bringing environmental changes. Over time, humanity is causing a shortage of water and food, increasing the risks of natural disasters, causing the displacement of people, and increasing the generation of waste. The Concern about the generation of this solid waste has grown in recent years, but there is still much to improve in terms of public policies and incentives for proper waste management. The PNRS (Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos) aims to eliminate dumps, to minimize the negative impacts on the environment. It is in this scenario, with the problems of irregular waste disposal, that the city hall of Fortaleza created the Ecopontos project, to reduce the irregular disposal of solid waste, disposing of waste in appropriate spaces and bringing benefits to the population. This research is an analytical and exploratory study, which aims to analyze whether the Ecopontos project is an effective public policy in management to combat the irregular disposal of urban solid waste in the city of Fortaleza, through research and data collection, comparatives, and quantitative waste collected during the project implementation and visits to collect data in some Ecopontos. The Ecopontos project has become one of the main selective collection public policies in the city of Fortaleza, aiming at directing suitable places for the disposal of waste and ending irregular disposal points, enabling selective collection and generating income for users, in addition to being changing the behavior of the population regarding waste disposal and selective collection.
