The project followed the PMBOK guidelines according to the strategies proposed for each of the activities planned in the development of the company. It was found that the capital investment will be recovered in the first year of the project operation, as well as the collection of recyclable waste increases exponentially as the community and industry environmental awareness also do. The lack of community learning initiatives on issues related to solid waste recycling it was a restriction to launch surveys, why it was necessary to carry out waste recycling trainings for the selected staff.
