More and more it is seen that the urbane garbage is increasing, since at present the persons
consume more than the past generations. In view of the above this work it has as objective
minimizes the problems produced by the unsuitable discard of the residential solid residues,
when that the city of Lagoa- PB, as well as many cities of Brazil face serious environmental
problems caused by accumulation of solid residues and lack of a treatment adapted for the
garbage, which to each day increases more, when the consumerism and the absence of
information. Before this worrying fact suggestions will be made orientating the community not

ground, pollution of the air and of the water, including the benefits that the natural resources

garden, there was the participation of elementary school students, teachers and officials of the
school. During the development of the project were worked with the concepts of the curricular
component science, as: chemical properties, reactions involved in the composting process,
physical properties and environmental education, being demonstrated that the apprenticeship is

possible to show that students were made aware of the need to preserve the environment for a
better quality of life, mobilizing the local community making her knowing of problematic.
