The purpose of this paper is to evaluate two simulated scenarios of Urban Solid Waste Management at Paraíba do Sul City State of Rio de Janeiro, using costs indicators and predicting a local and self-sustainable possibility of waste improvement. The first scenario is the disposal of all solid waste in the private landfill of Três Rios, a neighboring city. The second scenario is treating the organic fraction on a local composting project together with the disposal of residual waste on the mentioned landfill. The methodology used was the quantitative exploratory research, based on three estimates: municipal solid waste generation (total and organic of large generators); cost for collection (conventional and selective to organic waste); and costs for final disposal and waste treatment (landfill and composting courtyard). It was evaluated 10 neighborhoods from the municipal core, chosen according to the continuity of the urban fabric. The results showed a difference of less than R$ 10,000.00 per month between the total estimated costs for each scenario, the second simulation being most expensive. However, for the second scenario there is the possibility of income generation through the sale of the compost, which could cover the surplus cost. Thus, this paper intends to the discussion of alternative treatment of waste in smaller cities, which in general can not afford alone with the costs of implantation and maintaining a landfill of their own.
