Summary: The management of Urban Solid Waste (MSW) has been one of the most difficult issues for municipal public administration, especially in developing countries, which face barriers and face challenges related to financial and planning issues. The costs of managing MSW are high and compromise part of the expenses of city halls, the collection costs being more significant. Public managers must make the right decisions in order to meet the targets for diversion of recyclables from the landfill, while maintaining financial viability. In this work, a system dynamics model was developed to assess the impact of selective collection and environmental education strategies on the total management cost for city halls. As a case study, the context of the municipalitymof Serra / ES was modeled. 26 scenarios were proposed to assess the impact of all the mentioned strategies. The results made it possible to evaluate the different scenarios and analyze which would be the most viable option for the location. The scenario that presented better results both in financial and sustainable terms, foresees an increase in selective collection from 0.71% to 30% in 20 years, with a reduction of waste in 76% after the implementation of an education policy environmental. The simulations showed that the total cost of management can be reduced by choosing the best selective collection strategies, both in terms of productivity and costs per ton
collected.
