Abstract

This study aimed to analyse the ecopontos (ecological waste drop-off points) in the municipality of Sertãozinho-SP, drawing on the relevant legal frameworks and the Municipal Plan for Integrated Solid Waste Management (PMGIRS) of Sertãozinho-SP. The research employed an exploratory method, using documentary analysis of laws, plans, and technical regulations that establish and govern the creation and management of ecopontos. The analysis highlights the absence of national legislation specifically addressing ecopontos; the development of the ecoponto infrastructure in Sertãozinho; and the enactment of a municipal law on the subject. It also underscores the lack of detailed provisions concerning the structure and management of ecopontos, as well as the absence of clear targets within the PMGIRS, both of which may hinder future initiatives and monitoring by residents.
