Abstract

The Public Consortium can be a viable alternative to meet the current demands of sanitation scenario. The objective of this research was to analyze the process of formation of new public consortia of municipal solid waste, using as a case study the state of Paraná. The methodology was based on a literature review and field research. The group of municipalities of the Intermunicipal Consortium for Management of Municipal Solid Waste (CONRESOL) and a group of not associated municipalities were selected as sample. Questionnaires were applied to the two groups. Among the results one can point the initiative of the municipality as fundamental in the process of formation of new consortia; the legal process for the formation of consortium representing more a legal certainty than a hindrance; and the feasibility of appropriate disposition the greatest advantage in the forming of this arrangement.
