This has not excluded the community of indigenous people in the parish of Licto belonging to the canton of Riobamba province of Chimborazo, which has been affected by water, soil and other environmental factors, due to the incorrect management of solid waste or the limited education in subjects environmental Therefore, the present work aimed to implement several environmental education actions towards solid waste management, to understand the contradictions that Licto faces and develop environmental educational actions. Surveys, interviews were applied and a solid waste characterization was carried out, where their attitudes and opinions were determined, identifying their behaviors on the management of garbage.
