Abstract

The prevalence of open dumps and poorly packaged waste constitutes a major attack on the environment and public health. This is a survey conducted from March to August 2018 at the Primary School of the 1st and 2nd grade February 2 (EP2F) with the aim of evaluate the Environmental Perception of teachers in Solid Waste Management. It is a descriptive study with a qualitative methodological approach. The data were collected based on systematic observation and questionnaire of seven open questions to 10 teachers of which six are male and four female. Regarding environmental awareness, the results indicate that teachers present solid knowledge about Solid Waste Management (GRS), however, they only apply under the guidance of higher entities. What causes inadequate management waste in EP2F is the weak sensitivity of teachers for environments with waste Solids (RS) poorly packaged as well as their associated problems and consequent neglect of elements that influence for an adequate management of SR. Therefore, it is necessary that the GRS process is based on the policies of the 5 R’s, in order to this should be done an Environmental Education to the teachers so that it increases the level of awareness and sensitivity regarding environments with solid waste badly packaged.
