The present work highlights the formation of a solid waste deposit, popularly known as dump, in the contact between the Cidade de Deus neighborhood and the Alameda das Flores subdivision, in the municipality of Viçosa - AL. The approach is based on the assumption of the need to implement Basic Sanitation in its entirety for the populations of cities. This is not always done by City Halls and / or State Governments, with the majority of the populations being unassisted, considering that access to treated water, sanitation and regular garbage collection are often a privilege intended for a few. Based on a documentary bibliographic survey and exploratory field research, it was possible to draw a brief diagnosis of the situation of the neighborhoods, based on the laws that govern the theme, finally proposing a set of mitigating measures aiming to resolve the discomfort experienced by the residents of the Cidade de Deus and the Alameda das Flores subdivision.
