The methodology used for the study was based on the Instruction Manual of the Ministry of Environment. The population participating in this study, was voluntarily and trained. They used everything that was available, such as plastic bags, buckets, among others, as containers. The organic waste was processed in the Treatment Plant of our school, located in the back of the classroom, by composting into manure, humus, fertilizer and organic insecticides. These products are used to fertilize and protect the fruit trees and organic vegetables from our school garden, from fungi and parasites. Inorganic recyclable waste, which are collected by applying the 3 R's are converted into ornaments and useful items for us.
