A quantitative-qualitative methodology was employed in two stages between September and December 2024. The first stage involved in-loco analysis to determine the quantity, composition, and characteristics of waste at IFAL-MD. The second stage included questionnaires for the campus community. Waste characterization and gravimetry were performed across campus sectors to assess current management practices. Results indicated significant generation of rejects (43.7%), organics (25.8%), and recyclables (30.5%). Despite efficient maintenance, the Campus lacks a formal Solid Waste Management Plan, and recycling is inconsistent. The study highlights opportunities for improved waste separation and disposal. Consequently, the institution must adopt measures to enhance solid waste management practices for greater Sustainability.ptResíduos sólidosMeio ambientePlano de gerenciamento de resíduosPolítica nacional de resíduos sólidosSolid WasteEnvironmentWaste Management PlanNational Solid Waste PolicyTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoOUTROS
