Abstract

The development of good environmental practices, including an adequately designed and correctly implemented environmental management, contributes to the sustainable development of the three pillars such as environmental, economic and social. Considerable volumes of solid waste are generated in the markets, which are one of the main causes that contribute to environmental pollution; At present, most of the markets are in serious unhealthy problems, due to the little importance given to the design and construction of the spaces destined for the commercialization of food products; The investigation was carried out in the seafood area of the Central Plaza Market with the aim of proposing actions for the management of solid waste and thus prevent the market from becoming a source of contamination and the seafood is marketed with the best degree of health possible. the methodology carried out in the research included the application of descriptive, mixed and bibliographic methods, the tools used are the survey, check list and direct observation in order to diagnose the current situation in solid waste management and identify the current environmental legislation; the results that were obtained show that there is inadequate management, classification and storage of solid waste for which a proposal is made that ranges from environmental education, the adaptation of spaces, correct container signage, classification of waste, adequate materials for collection, to the participation of merchants that will contribute to the better management of this waste generated in the shellfish area and thereby reduce the negative impacts generated on the environment and the health of the population.
