The research was conducted through the collection, segregation, and gravimetric analysis of household solid waste, enabling the quantification and characterization of different fractions, including plastic, glass, metal, paper, rubber, and organic waste. The results demonstrated that plastic was the predominant fraction in both seasons, indicating a persistent pattern of packaged product consumption and the lack of effective waste reduction and recycling strategies. Overall waste generation was higher during the dry season, with greater contributions from glass, paper, and metal, likely associated with increased beverage consumption, higher social mobility, and the occurrence of community events. In contrast, the rainy season showed a significant increase in the organic fraction, which was related to changes in household dynamics, greater generation of food residues, and the influence of moisture on waste weight, recognized as a limitation of the study. The analysis revealed that the waste composition in the community differs from typical Brazilian urban patterns, which are generally characterized by a higher proportion of organic matter. This difference reflects specific aspects of quilombola lifestyles, such as the reuse of organic waste for animal feeding and soil fertilization. The absence of public waste collection services and the adoption of inappropriate disposal practices, including open burning and burial, highlight important socio-environmental vulnerabilities. Overall, the findings indicate that seasonality plays a fundamental role in shaping the generation and composition of household solid waste in the Torres Community, reinforcing the need for targeted public policies, locally adapted management strategies, and the recognition of traditional practices to promote environmental sustainability and improve the quality of life of the quilombola population.Acesso AbertoComposição gravimétricaComunidades quilombolasGestão de resíduos sólidosResíduos sólidos domésticosSazonalidade climáticaGravimetric compositionQuilombola communitiesSolid waste managementHousehold solid wasteClimatic seasonalityCNPQ::CIENCIAS BIOLOGICASTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - MonografiaAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazil
