The gravimetric composition of waste solids urban, organic matter is the main component, representing 45.3% of the total national generation, followed by plastic (16.8%), paper and cardboard (10.4%), and multilayer packaging (5.6%). Faced with this waste problem, the operation of an eco-Point is one of the solutions to mitigate this problem. Its main motivation is voluntary delivery, that is, people must take their waste to these reception locations. In line with national solid waste policy, eco-points are an important tool for environmentally correct waste management, complementary to the public collection and management service. This project's general objective is to create an eco-point for the reception and correct final disposal of urban solid waste with an emphasis on plastic waste from the IFRJ campus Duque de Caxias community and its surroundings the main objective was to show the preliminary results of implementing an eco-point in a school unit. At this moment, 1 ton of plastic waste, 350 kg of aluminum, and 150 liters of waste vegetable oil have been collected from the community and school surroundings. Furthermore, the project has 15 regular volunteers and was very well accepted by the school community. We are investing in awareness talks to mobilize and engage more people.
