LIMACHE FLORES, Marisol. Program to Improve Public Awareness on Solid Waste Collection in the San Carlos Neighborhood, Huancayo. Ind. data [online]. 2021, vol.24, n.2, pp.193-216.  Epub 31-Dez-2021. ISSN 1560-9146.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/idata.v24i2.19833.

Solid waste collection problems in San Carlos are not only an aesthetic problem, but also a major environmental problem of national interest. Additionally, the lack of understanding regarding the process of solid waste segregation at the source results in a loss of financial income to all residents. This research aims to raise public awareness on solid waste collection, for which a work program that included training and advertising (brochures and t-shirts) related to waste collection was carried out. Through this research, people learned about solid waste segregation, recycling, sanitary landfills, the role of municipalities, prevention, health, hygiene and safety. One of the most important results was that training and awareness-raising efforts raised people’s awareness with regards to recycling, segregation and proper collection of solid waste, which contributes to the conservation of the environment.
