Abstract

The present article discusses how expanded governance and community engagement can transform solid waste management. Based on experiences of the Santa Tereza Zero Waste Project, in Belo Horizonte, the study analyzes the importance of involving benefi ciaries in the co-construction of territorial solutions, overcoming traditional governance models based on an industrial logic and the mere provision of public services. By using listening devices, spaces for debate, and monitoring mechanisms, the project highlights paths for eff ective and sustainable participation of the stakeholders involved, contributing to an environmental transformation “from information to action”.
