Resumen
In rural areas of the country, the integral management and final disposal of solid waste is a problem that is constantly growing due to the accelerated generation of solid waste and the lack of plans and activities that seek to minimize its generation and proper management. The difficult access to these regions of the country and the inadequate management by the companies providing the service, has generated that the inhabitants choose to burn or bury the solid waste superficially, generating in this way the affectation of the natural resources, such as the contamination of the soil, the water resources, the loss of the biological diversity and affectation in the health of the populations. According to the above, this work aims to solve the problem of inadequate disposal of solid waste generated in the town of Sumapaz, which is mainly due to the low coverage of the waste collection service and implementation of educational plans and programs with which the community can properly dispose of their waste. Based on a bibliographic and field review of the current situation regarding solid waste management in the town of Sumapaz, a pedagogical guide is generated in order to establish strategies and implement plans and activities to strengthen the integrated management of solid waste and its disposal in the rural area of the town.
