The primary objective was to evaluate the management of solid waste in the three rural communities La Virginia No. 2, La Colonia and El Lechugal. For the qualitative and quantitative characterization of solid waste, a preview was held in the communities; we determined the sample size, surrendered containers for collection of waste from organic and inorganic separately, then sorted and weighed the same. Also applied the Likert questionnaire to determine current management effects on human health of the inhabitants. The values of per capita generation of solid waste in rural communities La Virginia No. 2 was 0.64 kg/hab día, La Colonia 0.38 kg/ habdía and Lechugal 0.49 kg/habdía. It was determined that there is no method of final disposal in solid waste management in the three communities, which affects the health of the population.
