Abstract

This Course Conclusion Paper – (TCC) - was developed with information and data obtained through the extension project "Environmental education in schools in the Clima Bom neighborhood - Maceió, AL" and had as partners the Non-Governmental Organization Dom Bosco and the Cooperative of Recycling of Alagoas – (COOPREL). The objective was to emphasize the theme of solid waste, working on environmental education and clarification to students, teachers and school employees about the importance of recycling, highlighting selective collection, through the practical activity of collecting paper, plastic and metal generated by the school community. The project sought to analyze the importance of dealing with Environmental Education in schools to prepare citizens who are more concerned about environmental issues, thus contributing to the preservation of the environment. The work was carried out at Colégio Rui Barbosa and at Escola Estadual Deputado Nenoí Pinto, where the monthly collection of solid waste was carried out over a period of two years (2018 - 2019), in which the collected material was transferred to COOPREL, with the purpose of generating na increase in income for its members. Based on weighing data recorded throughout the project, it was found that the production of waste generated in schools was 42.65 kg, adding the three types of waste. Thus, in addition to the donation of these wastes having provided income for the collectors, the work sensitized the school community about the serious problems caused by the lack of proper management in the final destination of solid waste.
