The proper disposal of waste produced by society is a constant concern. In Brazil, many municipalities discard the waste produced in open-air dumps, while the construction of sanitary landfills has presented great difficulties. In this context, the present work aimed to elaborate a geographic analysis, in a GIS environment, of the legal, environmental and logistical parameters that can be implemented by public entities for the selection of areas more favorable to the installation of a sanitary landfill, having as spatial clipping the municipalities of Corumbá and Ladário, in the Pantanal Matogrossense, the South area. This work was developed through three stages: restriction, qualification and detailed analysis, which pointed out the most suitable areas for the implementation of a sanitary landfill. Given the difficulties imposed by the location of the municipalities, the areas identified as suitable for the implementation of a sanitary landfill represent 403.45 km², that is, only 0.62% of the combined area of the two municipalities (64,792.62 km²). From these suitable areas, the detailed analysis revealed that only four have potentially positive particularities, such as a distance of up to 25 km from the generating center, access by good quality roads, satisfactory slopes, distance from human settlements, among others.
