With economic development and population growth, the amount of waste generated by humanity has dramatically increased. Many Brazilian municipalities face problems related to the issue of waste, especially when it comes to small municipalities that are difficult to access such as the municipality of Beruri. This work aimed to propose a solid waste management plan in the community located in the municipality of Beruri village of Itapuru. The work was carried out in 4 stages with the use of tools such as questionnaires, lectures and recycling workshops at the Osvaldo Nazaré Veríssimo school. After data collection and analysis, it was concluded that the inhabitants of the village have little knowledge regarding the treatment of solid waste. As a mitigating measure he proposed application of environmental education in school and association, elaboration of a waste management plan, creation of recycling cooperative and with posts.
