Defining the area for final solid waste disposal is a complex task. In Brazil, there are mandatory (restrictive) and guidance regulations for landfilling. However, the analysis of landfills in operation under these regulations is still little explored, but it can bring important information to territorial management. This paper investigates whether landfills in western São Paulo state meet the restrictive criteria and their level of environmental and socioeconomic adequacy. 32 landfills were analyzed, according to four restrictive criteria and a suitability map produced in a previous work. Approximately 41% of operating landfills fail to comply with legislation. Of those in legal areas, only 25% are in areas of high level of environmental and socioeconomic adequacy. This demonstrates the importance of investigating the social and environmental impacts related to landfill according to both mandatory and guiding regulations, aiming at effective territorial management.
