(IBGE, 2008). The city is also inside Cod?-MA micro-region. The city is located in one of the lacking area in Brazil, where the Human Development Index (IDH) is approximately 0,558. It does not present an adequate model of management when talking about solid residue collecting. All of the solid residue produced and collected in the city is stored in an open area that they call lix?o , which is located in a residence area in the suburbs. Because of that, a problem that involves public health and environmental areas, we understand it is necessary to investigate the way the local government treats and manages the solid residue collecting, as well as, the social, economical and productive reality of those who are directly involved in the collecting itself, its productive chain of the material, including the handling, transportation and its final destiny. It means a social, productive, economical diagnosis, that in a such way,the local society and the organs of inspection can act in a better way to control the problems that include solid urban residue and come from a bad administration. That way, this work proposes to carry out a study that has as result a diagnosis with feasible alternatives on management, taking as basis, social and economical aspects that compound this productive chain. This work can bring great contributions to a better local reality through the introduction of an integrated and supported system of management of solid residue that includes a selective collecting and the creation of a sanitary area. Taking that into consideration, we can contribute to minimize the environmental impacts in Cod? Novo, caused by the garbage / A pesquisa foi realizada na ?rea urbana do munic?pio de Cod? MA, o qual disp?e de uma ?rea de 4.228,00Km2 (IBGE 2000) e uma popula??o de 113.768 habitantes (IBGE, 2008), pertence ? regi?o Leste do Estado do Maranh?o e est? inserida na Microrregi?o de Cod?. O munic?pio se encontra numa das regi?es mais carentes do Brasil, com ?ndice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) na ordem de 0,558. O munic?pio n?o disp?e de um modelo adequado de gerenciamento dos res?duos s?lidos. Todos os res?duos s?lidos, produzidos no munic?pio, s?o despejados em um lix?o a c?u aberto, situado em bairro residencial da periferia da cidade. Por se tratar de um problema de grande amplitude, que envolve a sa?de p?blica e o meio ambiente, entende-se que ? necess?rio investigar o modo de gerenciamento dos Res?duos S?lidos do munic?pio, bem como a realidade s?cio-econ?mica e produtiva da popula??o de catadores, mas tamb?m a cadeia produtiva deste material, incluindo seu manejo, transporte e sua destina??o final, ou seja, um diagn?stico s?cio-produtivo-econ?mico, Esse diagn?stico pode Contribuir para que a sociedade local e os ?rg?os de fiscaliza??o realizem a??es de controle dos problemas gerados pela m? gest?o dos res?duos s?lidos urbanos. Desta forma, esse trabalho prop?s realizar um estudo que resultou num diagnostico, o qual tamb?m prop?e alternativas vi?veis de gerenciamento, tomando, como base, os aspectos econ?micos e sociais, que comp?em essa cadeia produtiva. O que visa contribuir para a melhoria da realidade local, atrav?s da implanta??o de um sistema de gest?o integrado e sustent?vel dos res?duos s?lidos, contendo coleta seletiva e implanta??o de um aterro sanit?rio. Para, desta forma, ajudar na minimiza??o dos impactos ambientais causados pelo Lix?o de Cod? Novo no munic?pio de Cod?-MA
