Based on the environmental problems caused by solid waste, this study aims to: 1) diagnosing the stage of solid waste and environmental impacts of the municipality Salgado of São Felix; 2) to study the environmental perception of the faculty and students of the solid waste Municipal School Eunice Barbosa; and 3) through workshops and lectures work to raise awareness of the faculty. The research has a qualitative and quantitative approach. The method used was participatory research. Techniques for data acquisition were: questionnaires, interviews, observation and photographic records. Through the diagnosis it was observed that the Salgado of São Felix do not have any solid waste management. There is no selective collection, and waste disposal is to the dump. This kind of disposal has caused many environmental problems in the municipality, such as pollution, macro proliferation and microvetores and contempt for recyclable material collectors.

Gravimetric analysis of the residue showed that most of the waste is organic matter (45.65%). The perception study was conducted with students from 6 to 9 years and with the faculty. Through the questionnaire, it was observed that many educators have a general vision of the concept of environmental education; in practice, the school does not develop environmental education work; 60% of educators related solid waste with something that sucks more, highlighting the lack of knowledge about the potential of waste; only 30% of educators have identified solid waste to cause some kind of pollution. As regards the perception of the student body, 90% related to the term waste bad. 52% considered everything they throw away as garbage; 77% of students know that the fate of the waste produced in the city's garbage dump. Students never attended any workshop and can not distinguish the terms recycling and reuse. The awareness of the students was done through lectures, videos, drawings and workshops. For this students were divided into three groups. For each group have been developed nine activities (theoretical and practical) all focused on the concepts and the importance of solid waste. Before encontroados results, measures are needed aimed at promoting: a decrease in RS production; improving work quality of waste pickers through physical structures (a suitable environment and personal protective equipment materials) and organizational (association / cooperative); and management alternatives of organic waste; increase and recovery of recyclable materials; It is also very important to train educators on this problem, so they can act as active citizens and processors developing effective actions at school aimed at raising awareness of students, forming more critical citizens on solid waste.
