Since the 1960s, the Brasilia landfill, also known as the “Structural Landfill”, has been used as a final disposal area, directly on the ground, for all waste from the Federal District. It is estimated that during its operation, about 40 million tons of waste were deposited, including household waste, debris, pruning, antlers and bulky waste. The Structural landfill was considered the second largest landfill in the world in operation by the survey conducted by ISWA in 2014. Along with the closure of the landfill, its recovery and the construction of a sanitary landfill for DF waste was planned. In addition, the inclusion of recyclers in the selective collection was proposed, as well as the implementation of composting and sorting centers for recyclable materials and the implementation of selective collection.
