Solid waste is everything that is discarded and can be easily decomposed, being of animal, vegetable and even inorganic origin. Human beings, the main generators, represent a threat to the environment since, to satisfy their needs, they have increased the production of inputs, resulting in new production systems and technologies. In the Community of Portobelo, a tourist site in the Province of Colón, there are patterns of consumption of products, mainly those of a disposable nature such as paper, tin, among others. No scattered or poorly disposed waste is observed, evidencing a certain collection frequency. However, those that can be subjected to processes for reuse are observed, reducing their accumulation in already collapsed landfills or with the possibility of offering economic, ecological and cultural benefits to the place. In the last five years, the collection of solid waste in the community was affected and the local authorities offered the service to avoid damages such as vermin nurseries and alteration of the landscape due to bad disposal without a definitive solution. The purpose of the study is to describe basic aspects of the current management and disposal of solid waste as a starting point for an environmental proposal. To reveal the level of knowledge of residents about management and use of solid waste, survey and interview instruments were applied. The results served to develop an environmental proposal aimed at promoting changes in attitudes, promoting a cleaner and more sustainable community, improving the final disposal and use of solid waste.
