TThe Solid Waste Management Plan at PUC-Rio, on the Gávea Campus, draws up a diagnosis of the managerial, functional and physical situation of solid waste at the University. The objective is to determine the data which will help in the preparation of the Waste Management Plan, in which actions are laid out for environmental, social and financial improvements of the institution. Once the definitions of physical and operational aspects of the Solid Waste Management Plan are laid out on the Gávea Campus, at PUC-Rio, the implementation of Selective Waste Collection Project will start in two places. Considering that a Solid Waste Management Plan goes through the stages of diagnosis, implementation, verification and revision of the management process at the end of the project, aiming at the continuous improvement, a relative diagnosis of the functional and operational characteristics of the project will be presented, generating, thus, suggestions for improvements of the Management Plan. After the diagnosis, it was possible to get a more comprehensive view of the origin, composition and system of the Solid Waste Management produced on the Gávea Campus at PUC-Rio. The management of the solid waste is done by the administrative department of the Campus, at PUC-Rio, having its operational part done by a third-party. That is, the collection, sweeping and storage of the waste proceeding from the educational, administrative and operational areas are the responsibility of the Sodexho Company, which in 2008 had 209 employees, and in the year of 2010, 220 employees, distributed in three shifts (mornings, afternoons and evenings).
