Abstract: According to the Ministry of Environment (2015), Management of Solid Residues (GRS) is still a set of practiced actions, straight or indirectly, in the stages of collection, transport, treatment, and, final destination inside the environmental standards adapted of the solid residues. In the Federal University of the Bahia – UFBA exists, besides the teaching activities, hospital activities, of laboratory, restoring that produce a considerable quantity of residues. In many unities of the UFBA the collection and the destination of the residues are not being done in appropriate way. So, this article had as I aim to show how there was carried out the management of the solid residues produced in the UFBA, of way to minimize the environmental impacts, to maintain the health of the persons, carrying out works of Environmental Education, minimizing the waste. This model does not follow the rules of a Program of Management of Solid Residues, but yes immediate measures for control of the same thing, being based on the model implemented by UNICAMP (University of the Campinas), as soon as that of the UFBA presents similar physical structure. For so much there was introduced the selective collection and the recycling (production of compound), in the daily life of each unity. One hopes that the UFBA could minimize the aggression to the environment, contribute with the improvement of the esthetic scenery, with a better and healthier life, contribute with the environmental education and pioneers and constant growth maintain his history of actions with excellence. Keywords: solid waste, environmental education, environmental management. 1. Introduction According to Law No. 12,305, of August 2, 2010, Solid Waste Management is a set of actions carried out directly or indirectly, in the stages of collection, transport, treatment, and also disposed of environmentally proper of solid waste. Thus, according to this law, the management of solid waste must be observed not generation, reduction, reuse, recycling, solid waste treatment and disposal. Therefore, technologies for energy recovery of waste may be used, provided that their proven technical and environmental viability. It is observed that public buildings, by their nature, are large waste generators, but also provided an appropriate management is done, can be considered an ideal place for focused environmental education awareness about the proper disposal of waste. However, it is important to clarify that the opportunities of this reduction must be identified in specific study for each case, with the recommendation of the actions undertaken beings and analysis of technical feasibility, mainly. As emphasized by the Ministry of Health, the whole society is affected by the damage caused to the environment and individualistic, consumerist and disposable model hinders understanding by the citizens of their share of responsibility in the face of environmental problems.This paper presents the actions carried out on the premises of the Federal University of Bahia, regarding the proper disposal of solid waste in order to minimize environmental impacts in these environments, and promote with the faculty, students and environmental education work staff, looking minimize waste, favoring the selective collection and contributing to improving the community's quality of life that works or frequents the campus of the Federal University of Bahia-UFBA. It is observed that education creates new habits in contributing to reducing waste and to build a more conscious society and committed to public health. In turn, it is observed that the selective collection is an alternative to solve the problem of solid waste, allowing waste of reuse, and treatment through recycling and composting. It is important to note that this article does not include a SWMP (Solid Waste Management Plan), but only reports the adequacy to the problem of disposal of solid waste produced in the campus of the Federal University of Bahia. It is expected that from this adjustment is implemented project management of solid waste through selective collection and recycling of waste produced on the premises of the Federal University of Bahia, or adequately dispose solid waste, initially, those generated on campus Federation / Ondina, and later meet all campuses, and thus minimize damage to the environment, contribute to improving the aesthetic landscape, with a better and healthier life, contribute to the education of those directly or indirectly involved with this program and can serve as a reference for other communities. 2. Materials and Methods 2 1 Study Area Within the history of the University, the Federal University of Bahia is one of the oldest, started on February 18, 1808, with the institution of the Bahia School of Surgery, first university course in Brazil, followed by the incorporation of courses
