Sumario: The objective of the research was to evaluate the management of waste and solid waste generated in the urban area of the municipality of San Lorenzo Suchitepéquez. The current system of waste and solid waste management was identified through three phases: generation, management and final disposal. Currently the municipality has two collection systems: the private cleaning train, in charge of household waste and solid waste. And the second system is made up of the municipal cleaning train, in charge of solid waste from street sweeping, collecting all the garbage that is found there. Based on the above, the urban area of the municipality has two sources of generation: homes and street sweeping. In the generation of household solid waste and waste, a sample of 222 homes was carried out; the generation of residues and solid waste from street sweeping was quantified through all the streets of the urban area. A characterization of solid waste is carried out determining the average per total week of 2,686.03 kilograms of waste and solid waste with a production of 0.315 kilograms per inhabitant per day (kgs / inhab / day). The largest generation is organic with 37.85%, 36.62% are non-recoverable inorganic, 22.10% are recoverable inorganic, 2.53% are inert and 0.90 are bioinfectious.
