The implementation of Law no. 12.305/10, which instituted Brazil’s National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), established the regulation for the management of solid waste in the country. With the determination of the guidelines concerning shared waste management, PNRS clarified the roles and responsibilities of society, the public sector, and the private sector within the reverse logistics system in Brazil. This article seeks to analyze the measures adopted in the municipality of Teresina-PI in order to meet the recommendations of Law no. 12.305/10. The general objective of this study is to carry out the mapping and analysis of the private actors involved in the collection, transportation, and disposal of waste from large generators, by addressing the principle of shared responsibility, and in accordance with Chapter III of the aforementioned law. Considering also the importance of the public sector, the research intends to carry out an analysis of the municipal legislation and public policies developed concerning waste management. As the main results have shown, there is a need to intensify the inspection and control of waste management in the municipality. It is noted that the sectors involved face difficulties in the development of efficient reverse logistics systems. It is worth mentioning that scientific production is able to assist in the planning and development of action plans for solid waste management.
