Construction and Demolition Waste (C&DW), also known as rubble, are increasingly frequent and visible in today's society, due to the large volume generated in construction and its irregular deposition. As potential polluters of the environment, C&DW directly affect the environmental conditions of water bodies and the sanitation of urban areas. In this context, the objective of this work was to diagnose by mapping the presence of irregular deposition of construction residues on urban roads in the city of Vitória de Santo Antão-PE. It was visited in the district of Matriz, totaling 44 streets in the month of June 2016, mapping the locations of irregular deposition by buildings and the size of the work. As a result, it was possible to diagnose the presence of 64 points of clusters of residues in front of the buildings, which are considered to be irregular, since there were no technical personnel responsible for the construction or license plate issued by the municipality in 95% of the points. The works were considered as small, mostly renovations. Likewise, the quantification and the georeferencing of C&DW become essential to enable effective measures in the final deposition and reduction of waste generation. The fulfillment of legal norms is also a factor that contributes to the conservation of the environment, guarantees the urban water flow and does not compromise the landscape of the municipality. As a result of this survey, there is an urgent need to implement a management plan for C&DW in the city of Vitória de Santo Antão.
