Abstract
This article presents the results of an investigation applied to 30 residents of a neighborhood in the municipality of Piedecuesta, Santander. The purpose of this research is to develop a comprehensive plan to promote environmental awareness based on household waste (DR), through the application of a survey that allows to know the previous knowledge of the community about the environmental management generated daily in their homes. The strategy employed focuses on environmental education talks, interactive presentations and the delivery of a brochure that comprehensively addresses environmental awareness in relation to household waste. A mixed methodology was used in the research, through the following phases: exploration, planning, observation and reflection. Finally, the following findings were obtained: it is observed that the community lacks information on the separation of DR: organic, recyclable and non-recyclable. In conclusion, the lack of environmental education in the municipality has resulted in a large amount of household waste that is neither separated nor properly used, which generates several negative consequences such as: environmental pollution, greater accumulation in landfills, greenhouse gases (GHG), among others. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.
