Globally, the sharp increase in the generation of solid waste is a problem that has triggered various debates on how they should be treated, but there are shortcomings in terms of serious use of organic waste, which in itself, represent more than 50% of waste produced and therefore one of the major problems of volume, treatment or disposal cause. Market Square Chia, Cundinamarca "CACIQUE" is a potential for the waste producer, having no efficient management generates various problems in not only environmental scenarios, but also economic, social, cultural, among others. The square was the scene of study for the construction of a proposal that would allow the use of organic waste generated there and thus generate tangible and intangible products that help mitigate negative impacts on the environment, leading social, cultural and institutional benefits. The proposal designed after a process of waste characterization, an analysis of efficient techniques according to the residual composition and search for methodological improvements, has an approach of strategies and activities to follow for a possible implementation of the process of using organic waste, according to the specific needs of the place, in order to obtain organic fertilizer, defining the criteria to be controlled, its benefits and providing a series of recommendations.
