The solid waste public policy of Minas Gerais is described on the State Law 18,031 of 2009. The mentioned State Law contains the general guidelines for planning, management and regulation of solid waste in the state. The implementation of recycling and composting plants is encouraged through a financial transfer from the government to those towns that decide to use this option to treat their waste. This study aimed to analyze the main role of recycling and composting plants in the state policy of solid waste and the demographic characteristics of towns that receive such benefit. In addition, it was listed and discussed the amount of funds guaranteed by the state to towns, the cost of implementing the facilities, and the legal process that led to the Law. It was concluded that the recycling and composting plants are a good alternative for solid waste treatment, especially in small and medium sizes towns. However the facilities must be embedded within a broad spectrum of the steps members of the management system of solid waste.
