Presented by the  Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, the study Utilização do composto de resíduos da poda da arborização urbana em substratos para produção de mudas - Utilization of the compost of residues from the pruning of urban trees in substrate for the production of seedling, by Alamir Punaro Baratta Junior, examines the fact that The amount of materials being discarded by humans is increasing. Cultural, economic and population factors contribute to the volumetric formation of these materials. To minimize the effect of the accumulation of these materials in the garbage deposits, public policies must be implemented to increase the recycling of inorganic materials and the composting of organic materials. One of the materials that is being discarded in garbage deposits is the material that comes from the pruning and removal of trees located on streets, avenues, central seedbeds and squares. This pruning and/or removal occurs due to diverse conflicts between this vegetation and urban equipment.
