This dissertation evaluated the viability of implementation a soil-cement made composting yard as its capacity of impermeability and its influences on the biological degradation process of municipal waste. The reduction of costs of a Recycling and Composting Plants is a lack to small municipalities on their recycling programs. As the composting yard represents a meaningful quote of investments of Recycling and Composting Plant implementation, this innovation is proposed to minify its costs. A composting yard was made and an analysis of the composting process of organic matter on its surface was carried out to compare with the same process realized on a conventional non-structural concrete yard. The soil- cement yard was made on top of a draining layer to verify its tightness and covered with a thin daub of cement in order to increase its life cycle and durability. Resistance analysis to compression of soil-cement and parameters of the organic matter to be composted were evaluated as pH, fixed carbon, volatile matter, moisture, temperature, fecal coliform and heavy metals (Hg, Cu, Cr, Cd, Zn, Pb e Ni). Also, the rainwater colected from the yard surface was collected and evaluated as it turbidity, pH, fecal coliform, temperature and heavy metals. At the end of this study, was made a budget to compare the costs reduction of a Recycling and Composting Plant implementation choosing a soil-cement made yard. About the tightness, the soil cement yard made showed preventing rainwater permeation. Its simple compression resistance was evaluated as satisfactory, with 4,9 MPa by the 28th day. The composting processes on both yards were carried out during the active degradation period to compare effects. The costs of implementation of soil-cement yard made were approximately 30,9% lesser than the conventional yard. Considering the total Reclycling and Composting Plant budget, the reduction of costs was about 7,7% of the investment. Key-words: Municipal solid waste, composting yard, soil-cement, waste treatment.
