The issue of solid waste has become increasingly important in discussions relating to urban planning. And, in the search for sustainability, solutions in the municipal sphere lose efficiency, since the environmental systems suffer damage in extensions beyond the municipality limits. In this context, the Intermunicipal Consortium gains relevance, integrating neighboring cities with common problems, that congregate efforts in the search for solutions. Believing in this assumption, in 2001, 17 municipalities of the Curitiba Metropolitan Region constituted the Intermunicipal Consortium for Solid Waste Management. Among the activities of the consortium, there is the Treatment and Destination Management of Solid Waste Plan (PGRS), which proposes replacing the current landfill site (Caximba) for a waste treatment Plant, processing the trash and burying the final wasting. However, this proposed new system does not provide practical implement strategies. Therefore, this article proposes the establishment of a Composting Regional Policy, setting guidelines for territorial planning, in order to facilitate the practice of composting organic waste in the Curitiba Metropolitan Region.
