The research is exploratory in nature, based on observation, collection and interpretation of data, field study, semi-structured interview and observation were used. The sampling was non-probabilistic for convenience, having been interviewed three employees of the Auto Reboque e Serviços Lda mechanic shop. As a result, it was found that this organization carries out all kinds of activities that are carried out in a mechanical workshop, and that in the development of these activities different types of waste are generated, to which it is necessary to give a correct treatment and destination that does not endanger the environment and the health of employees. It is also concluded that this organization does not have a department responsible for the management of the generated waste, where of these only the lubricating oils have a different destination from the remaining waste, being treated by an external organization. In this way, environmental education emerges as a tool for the management of waste generated during the production processes of the mechanical workshop, through awareness and awareness actions for the correct management of waste and the adoption of strategies for the reduction, reuse and recycling of waste. The recommendations were intended for Auto Reboque & Serviços Lda, so that it can improve the management of the waste generated, through the implementation of an EMS and sustainable measures (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
