Objective: This article aims to assess the practices adopted for the final disposal of urban solid waste in the municipality of Tutóia, located in the state of Maranhão. Theoretical Tablework: The literature for this study is based on the impacts generated by the inadequate disposal of Urban Solid Waste (USW) in Brazil and worldwide, considering current environmental regulations. Method: Through a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory approach, data were collected on-site. To assess the environmental impact in the study area, the Checklist and Interaction Matrix methods were used. Results and Discussion: The lack of proper management and environmentally adequate final disposal of urban solid waste poses risks to public health and the environment. Research Implications: Important contributions to sustainable waste management, aiming to reduce the social and environmental impact of inadequate final disposal. Originality/Value: It is worth mentioning that this is the first study conducted in this area. Thus, it is hoped to foster discussions that will effectively promote the fulfillment of Sustainable Development Goals, SDG 3, SDG 11, SDG 12, and SDG 15 in one of the most important tourist regions in the state of Maranhão.
