The study's main objective was to discuss the concept, characterization and other norms that govern and regulate Urban Solid Waste in Brazil. Methodologically, this is a theoretical-empirical study by means of a bibliographical procedural method, exploratory as to the objectives and of a basic nature with a qualitative approach. As for data collection techniques, research was carried out in secondary sources such as books, scientific articles, legislation, guidelines, and norms that define and regulate solid urban waste in Brazil. As for the analysis techniques, we used content analysis and narrative socio-historical contextual discourse. As conclusive results, the study allowed us to verify that two needs to be fulfilled by the public power and Brazilian society are evident: a) the fulfillment of the norms, legislation, and guidelines in relation to Urban Solid Waste, and 2) the putting into practice of a public policy of integrating and integrating environmental awareness that is efficient, effective and disseminated within society on a national, regional and local level.
