| description | It is estimated that global solid waste management is still insufficient due to factors such as: the increase in generation, consumption habits, production systems and the lack of alternatives for its use and/or treatment. Throughout this time, strategies have been designed and implemented that seek to mitigate this problem, but these are mostly implemented in urban areas, although rural areas are no stranger to this reality. Therefore, a case study of the current management given to solid waste in three villages of the municipality of Mongua, corresponding to Centro, Duce and Monguí, was carried out. The information was collected through surveys, semi-structured interviews and participatory workshops, with the participation of the members of the Huerto Alto Andino Farmer Association. At the end of the exercise, it was determined that the burning of solid waste in charcoal stoves or in bonfires is the most common practice in homes, as well as the use of organic waste to produce organic fertilizer and use it in their orchards and crops, insofar as to recyclable waste, it is evident that they are sold or some are buried, a practice that affects health, the environment and the economy of the territory. In this sense, collective environmental sensitivity commitments were made and, as a message to the municipal authorities, the call is made to contribute to adequate and comprehensive management processes of solid waste in rural areas that promote their sustainable development |

A lo largo de este tiempo se han diseñado e implementado estrategias que buscan mitigar esta problemática, pero, estas son en su mayoría implementadas en las zonas urbanas, aunque la zona rural no es ajena a esta realidad. Por lo anterior, se realizó un estudio de caso del manejo actual que se da a los residuos sólidos en tres veredas del municipio de Mongua, correspondientes a Centro, Duce y Monguí. La información fue recolectada a través de encuestas, entrevistas semi-estructuradas y talleres participativos, contando con la participación de las integrantes de la Asociación Campesina Huerto Alto Andino. Al concluir el ejercicio se determinó que la quema de residuos sólidos en estufas de carbón o en fogatas, es la práctica más común en los hogares, así como el aprovechamiento de material orgánico para producir abono y ser usado en sus huertas y cultivos, en cuanto a lo reciclable se evidencia que son comercializados o algunos enterrados, práctica que afecta la salud, el ambiente y la economía del territorio. En este sentido, se concertaron compromisos de sensibilidad ambiental colectiva y, como mensaje a las autoridades municipales, se hace el llamado para contribuir en procesos de manejo adecuados e integrales de los residuos sólidos en zonas rurales que promuevan su desarrollo sostenible.
