Environmental management in solid waste is fundamental for sustainable development. The solid waste generated in schools requires proper care and management to protect the environment. The federal government has a rule for public companies to practice sustainability: the Environmental Agenda in Public Administration (A3P), that is an instrument which includes the proper management of waste generated by public agencies. This paper analyzes the A3P rule as a contribution to think about the management of waste materials in state public schools, aiming to obtain elements for sustainable school practices. This is an exploratory and bibliographic study based on academic papers, on Brazil federal norms and laws and on behavior description of furniture disposal at one Salvador’s public school. It uses photography as a qualitative research tool.  The results pointed to an inadequate environmental management of classroom desks and chairs disposal. The application of the A3P could contribute to incorporate principles, responsibility and sustainable environmental practices in Bahia’s public schools.
