WASTE COOKING OIL DISPOSAL PATTERNS IN JOÃO MONLEVADE AND REGION: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN 2023 AND 2025
Abstrak
Inadequate management of waste cooking oil constitutes a relevant environmental problem in Brazilian municipalities, causing contamination of water resources, overload of sanitation systems, and degradation of urban soils. This study characterized and compared cooking oil disposal patterns in João Monlevade and surrounding municipalities between 2023 and 2025. An observational descriptive design with two independent cross-sectional assessments was employed, totaling 230 respondents in 2023 and 318 in 2025, with non-probabilistic convenience sampling. In João Monlevade, aggregated inadequate disposal (sewage, soil, and garbage) decreased from 43.8% to 25.2%. Lack of knowledge about collection points decreased from 66.1% to 23.0% in João Monlevade, while in other cities it reduced from 60.0% to 37.3%. Lack of information about collection points was identified as the main barrier to adequate disposal, mentioned by 62.5% of respondents who dispose incorrectly. The study provides a situational diagnosis that can support the formulation of public policies for urban solid waste management in medium-sized municipalities.
