Abstract

The study presents a diagnostic about the waste generated in a rural property, proposes and develops actions to mitigate the wrong accommodation made by the residents of the property. To remediate the problems detected, partnerships were implemented with the Varre Sai city government, the owner of the property, and the farm residents. A task force to collect the waste was organized, earthworm containers were constructed, and lectures were given. The project also included an agreement with the local government to collect the waste and supply recipients to the nine families of sharecroppers. The domestic waste was correctly allocated as well as the organic waste derived from the crops.
