The present article discusses the environmental problems that take place in large urban areas thanks to the great volume of solid wastes that has been gener¬ated for the last two decades. This work emphasizes the Bandeirantes’ Sanitary Landfill, launched in the middle of 1979, in Perus, on the outskirts of São Paulo. Considered to be a model of sanitary landfill by both international and national authorities, this kind of entrepreneurship was considered by German specialists as a remarkable and well-succeed example of environment protection besides di¬minishing or even halting any negative impacts on public health. What is notice¬able in this entrepreneurship is the fact that it is now being implanted a system for reusing the gas generated in the sanitary landfill by changing it into energy. It is a positive factor, for it is possible now to reuse a material that used to be completely disposed.Downloads
