Abstract: The generation of solid waste is increasing in Brazilian cities, and legislation requires proper management and the implementation of selective waste collection. This work was developed as part of an extension project, with municipal waste management as one of the actions to be undertaken. The objective was to conduct a situational diagnosis of stationary containers for the collection of selective and organic waste in a municipality in the Fronteira Oeste region, RS, assessing their condition and distribution in the urban area. The observational survey was carried out by walking through the streets, recording data, taking photographs, and mapping the locations. 73.3% of the acquired containers (n=55) were located, with a small portion (n=18) designated for selective waste. The diagnosis revealed damaged containers, improperly disposed waste, and locations different from their original placement, highlighting the need for educational and awareness-raising initiatives among the population regarding the proper disposal of urban solid waste.
