The construction sector generates a large amount of construction and demolition waste
(CDW), and its disposal remains a challenge for many companies. This study aims to
identify the main causes of CDW generation and propose alternatives for recycling and
reuse of these wastes in Manaus-AM. The research was conducted at a public agency
responsible for housing, analyzing two construction projects over the last two years. Data
was collected on waste separation, storage, and transportation, totaling 268,200.07m³ of
CDW. A comparison with CONAMA Resolution No. 307/2002 revealed the need for
improvements in waste management and disposal practices. The results indicate that,
despite progress, there are still gaps in complying with environmental legislation.
