The construction industry occupies a prominent position in the Brazilian economy, but it is a major generator of environmental impacts that result in the formation of degraded areas. Thus, the development of construction activities that are more appropriate to the principles of sustainable construction, which do not cause so many degrading actions, is inevitable. Concern with the environment has brought an alert where various sectors of society are involved, promoting environmental education actions, so it is called for the strong and effective participation of all agents involved (public sector, owners, companies, engineers and architects, teachers and students, collectors’ associations) for a common good - the sustainability of cities. Therefore, there was an initiative to verify if the construction companies are actually reusing to reduce waste and extracting more raw materials and offer subsidies so that the environmental problem can be faced in this construction company by giving appropriate waste disposal.
