The complexity involved in the collection, treatment and disposal of solid waste; the dimensions of this matter in relation to the various social, governmental, technical and territorial implications, and their potential for qualitative change of the environment require further studies of the management of landfills and their inter-relations with institutions linked to solid waste and the environment. The key question of this paper is: Would the development of a protocol for the installation of solid-waste disposal equipment, involving both environmental and management aspects, suit the specific needs and peculiarities of different municipalities? An explanatory and descriptive multi-case study was used to evaluate the technologies applied in the deployment and management of two landfills in the state of Bahia. A protocol for the management and installation of solid-waste equipment was also designed in this study, based on a theoretical and methodological construction that originated from questions that have also generated news questions and issues, such as how to measure and analyze possible behavioral changes towards sanitation according to the innovative procedures proclaimed throughout the country by the National Solid Waste Policy.
