An analysis of waste management practices in the City of Araguari is carried out. All actors and facilities of the reverse logistics chain are identified, and their respective activities are described. Existing waste disposal procedures by the public administration are discussed. The flow of waste in the city is completely defined. The objective of the study is to develop a waste management scheme that can move Araguari to a Zero Waste situation within a timeframe of 15 years. The scheme is based on general concepts provided by the Zero Waste International Alliance and on specific policies used by other cities that pursue the same goal. All existing infrastructure is incorporated into the scheme, and the financial burden on the administration is minimized. The proposed scheme stimulates the participation of private enterprises, details the required progress over the period with the corresponding targets and their verification, and is meant to be transformed into a municipal by-law in order to become effective. This is a pioneering endeavor in Brazilian municipalities.
