In this study, we sought to check how is the environmental education for the society of the municipality of São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro State, and if there is a pattern of solid waste management for the municipality, or isolated neighborhoods. The study was carried out in two stages by descriptive and then exploratory qualitative research. At first there was a survey of information by the City Department of planning and Environment on the selective collection of garbage in the urban cleaning process, and in the second step a questionnaire was applied in four districts of the city used as a sample, in order to raise information about the existence of the society participation in selective collection programs. From the study, it was found the importance of promoting environmental education in the municipality, because the effectiveness of selective programs necessarily require the involvement of citizens. The appropriateness of the structure today held by the region's public service must support a program of selective collection and the existence of continuous actions of dissemination; mobilization and information are facilitators and fundamental factors. The lack of dissemination of results, the accommodation, the lack of interest of the population, the disrepute concerning actions from the Government, and the lack of space, in the residences to store recyclable waste, among others, are factors that hinder the participation in collection selective and appropriate treatment to these wastes.
