| Abstract (English): | The management of urban solid waste (MSW) is a complex task for the municipal public administration. The aim of this study is to identify the knowledge of the social, public and academic sectors on urban solid waste management in order to raise awareness about its integrated management in Banderilla, Veracruz, Mexico. The used methodology was mixed, involving participatory community workshops aimed at all the three sectors, with diagnostic surveys and environmental awareness activities. The invitation to participate was open to the social sector, 18 workshops were held at high school level (900 students) and one workshop was held for the public sector with area managers and the municipal president. Findings show a high interest in collaboration from all three sectors. Furthermore, improvement opportunities were also identified: zero use of MSW (inorganic and organic), long distance travel for final disposal and high costs for public funds due to the lack of integrated handling. In conclusion, door-to-door and business-by-business (small and large generators) environmental awareness is required for source separation and independent collection, to use organic as well as inorganic MSW.

| Abstract (Spanish): | La gestión de los residuos sólidos urbanos (RSU) es una tarea compleja de la administración pública municipal. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar los conocimientos de los sectores social, público y escolar sobre el manejo de los desechos municipales para sensibilizarlos en la gestión integral en Banderilla, Veracruz, México. La metodología usada fue mixta, haciendo uso de talleres comunitarios participativos, dirigidos a los tres sectores (social, escolar y público), con dinámicas de sensibilización ambiental y encuestas diagnósticas. Con el sector social la invitación para participar fue abierta, a todo el público; con el sector escolar se impartieron 18 talleres a nivel bachillerato (900 alumnos) y, para el sector público, se realizó un taller con directores de área y presidente municipal. Los resultados muestran un alto interés en colaborar por parte de los tres sectores. Asimismo, fueron identificadas oportunidades de mejora: nulo aprovechamiento de los RSU (inorgánicos y orgánicos), larga distancia de recorrido para la disposición final y altos costos para el erario por la falta de un manejo integral. En conclusión, se requiere sensibilización ambiental "casa por casa" y "negocio por negocio" (pequeños y grandes generadores) de la separación en origen y la recogida por separado para el aprovechamiento de los RSU orgánicos e inorgánicos.

O objetivo do estudo foi identificar os conhecimentos dos setores social, público e escolar sobre a gestão de resíduos urbanos para sensibilizá-los na gestão integral em Banderilla, Veracruz, México. A metodologia utilizada foi mista, fazendo atividades comunitárias participativas, dirigidas aos três setores (social, escolar e público), com dinâmicas de sensibilização ambiental e inquéritos diagnósticos. Com o setor social, o convite para participar foi aberto a todo o público; com o setor escolar foram ministradas 18 atividades no ensino médio (900 alunos) e, para o setor público, foi realizada uma atividade com diretores de área e presidente municipal. Os resultados mostram um grande interesse em colaboração por parte dos três setores. Da mesma forma, foram identificadas oportunidades de melhoria: não utilização de RSU (inorgânicos e orgânicos), longa distância percorrida para disposição final e altos custos para o erário devido à falta de uma gestão abrangente. Concluindo, é necessária a sensibilização ambiental "casa por casa" e "negócio por negócio" (pequenos e grandes geradores) de separação na fonte e coleta seletiva para uso de RSU orgânicos e inorgânicos.
