Rio de Janeiro Landfill Quality Index Scores for 2013-2015

More than ten million tons of urban solid waste were received by the top-performing landfills in Rio de Janeiro state between 2013 and 2015. This dataset contains the results of applying the state's Final Destination of Waste Quality Index to evaluate the operational quality of sanitary landfills. The analysis was conducted by Carlos Eduardo Soares Canejo Pinheiro da Cunha and critiques the effectiveness of public waste management policies.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking landfill operational quality based on the Final Destination of Waste Quality Index scores
• Analyzing the correlation between landfill performance and waste volume received, as described for Seropédica, Campos, and São Gonçalo landfills
• Critiquing public waste management policy effectiveness based on the performance outcomes of specific landfills like Miguel Pereira, Barra do Piraí, and Piraí

Strengths

• Covers a defined three-year period (2013-2015) for longitudinal analysis
• Includes performance data for specific landfills, such as Seropédica, Campos, and São Gonçalo, which received over 58% of the state's collected waste
• Based on a defined methodology (the Final Destination of Waste Quality Index) developed by the State Environmental Institute (INEA)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
