Abstract

This article presents disputes regarding the Bandeirantes Landfill, located in the district of Perus, in the northwest region of the municipality of São Paulo (Brazil). The impacts caused by the allocation of this sanitary landfill involve both environmental issues, such as soil and watercourse contamination and ecosystem changes, as well as social issues, with damages to life quality and changes in local practices and experiences. This investigation problematizes decision-making processes that contributed to transformations in the landscape during and after the landfill's operation, based on documentary and journalistic analyses. Thus, it aims to enlighten asymmetries in the decision-making process and socio-environmental consequences concerning this environmental liability, which must be considered in urban planning and future actions in the territory.
