Abstract

In the face of industrialization process, mass production and consumption were obtained, generating, consequently, an increase in the volume of solid waste. What causes environmental impacts to the planet. With the advent of the National Policy on Solid Waste nº 12.305/2010, there was an important gap in the Brazilian environmental legislation. But, the proper management of solid waste is a great challenge that needs to work together between the different spheres of public power, the business sector and the community, according to the principle of cooperation. The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the criteria of competence distribution and the responsibility of the federation entities, in the hypothesis of the creation of Metropolitan Regions, in view of the principle of cooperation. It analyzes the controversy around the distribution of competences for the provision of basic sanitation services, and in particular, solid waste disposal by agglomerated municipalities, and compliance with the principle of cooperation among the entities of the federation for shared participation aiming at Management of solid waste. The research uses the experience of the metropolitan region of Belém to apply the theoretical analysis and concludes that the responsibility is shared among the actors involved, but it does not prevent the individualization of objective civil liability to agents that perform behaviors harmful to the environment.
