Abstract: The main scope of this research focuses on the identification and interpretation of scientific papers dealing with the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) or Law 12.305/2010, which was created to guide government and society actions regarding the effective management of urban solid waste encompassing the generation, collection and final disposal of leftover consumption produced by public and private companies or by individuals. In this sense, the analyzes and reports presented throughout this manuscript have an important and even innovative proposal to gather and interpret the results from the regional perception within the scope of the Brazilian continent. As for the specific objectives: to list relevant aspects of national legislation that contribute to the management of urban solid waste; to map the published scientific works that deal with the issue of solid waste, between the period 2010 to 2020, and, from the results obtained in the second objective, to extract key concepts used by the authors that denote the reality of construction of scientific studies. This is a research with a qualitative approach, with bibliometric and content analysis technical procedures. The analyzed textual body, consisting of 60 articles, was instrumented using the IRaMuTeQ software, which enabled the reading of the equivalent of 10,003 words (sum of the words that make up the abstracts of the selected scientific articles). Among the results, four (4) key concepts were identified, which are selective collection, waste, sustainability and environmental. These results, when analyzed by region, show guiding trends for the studies, pointing to the specific predominance of key concepts for this or that region. The connotation for this can be credited to the breadth of the PNRS, which is treated (regionally) based on the reality (difficulty/challenge) experienced.
