This study's main objective is to investigate the importance of environmental education in theprocess of implementation of garbage collection in Ijuí/RS. Additionally we sought to identify andassess whether there are specific programs of environmental education in garbage collection inthe municipality of Ijuí; see the effective participation of the population in the process of garbagecollection, and even check what actions actually provide a successful garbage collection.Interviews were conducted with representatives of the Municipality, as the City Department ofEnvironment, Ministry of Works and Planning, and the company that provides garbage collectionin the municipality. A program of selective collection and conducted the population tends todevelop a new mindset on issues involving the economy and environmental preservation. Ijuísucceeded in establishing the system of selective collection, but there were problems in theprocess of driving, lack of political interest on environmental and bureaucratic obstacles that mayalso contribute to the lack of preparedness of the population through environmental education.The changes in the habits of the population to acquire the need to separate their waste is themost difficult because it requires effort and patience, so all the issues involving the selectivecollection must be well informed and taken seriously by everyone
