The objective of this research is the proposal of the Solid Waste Management Plan for the Faculty of Medicine of the National University of San Marcos (UNMSM). This study was carried out in the academic year 2019-II, which had a population of 2345 among students, teachers and workers. First, the initial diagnosis of the management and handling of solid waste was carried out through interviews and inspections; secondly, the knowledge of the students about solid waste was evaluated by applying surveys to 313 students; thirdly, the quantification and physical characterization of the solid waste, for this the sampling of nonhazardous solid waste was carried out for seven days, the first sample was discarded and the sampling of hazardous solid waste was carried out for four weeks, the first sample was discarded, except with the waste anatomical that comprised four academic cycles. It was found that no training has been carried out for workers who handle solid waste and that 63.6 percent of the students have a low level of knowledge about solid waste. The average daily generation of solid waste is 88.61 kg and 1316.89 L, the approximate per capita generation rate is 0.04 kg/person/day, the average density is 67.29 kg/m3 and the average recyclable percentage is 52.93 percent. Paper, cardboard, glass, PET plastic, organic, expanded polystyrene and hazardous waste represented 4.42, 1.64, 3.94, 8.71, 33.05, 2.13 and 8.92 percent, respectively. It was concluded that segregation is not carried out at the source due to lack of awareness and environmental education, and that the management of solid waste is inadequate. Finally, alternatives were proposed minimization alternatives the generation at source and material valorization of solid waste, such as reuse, composting and recycling.
