José Faustino Sánchez Carrión School in the city of Trujillo in the department of La Libertad in Peru. For the development of the research, the quantitative approach was applied, with a descriptive experimental design. The sample selection consisted of 240 students who were questioned through a questionnaire on solid waste management, taking into account high levels of reliability and validity. The main results made it possible to determine that environmental education is perceived by students as fairly adequate, while solid waste management presents an inadequate response. A level of success of 0.5% and failure of 0.5% was taken into consideration for the results. This allowed us to conclude that there is a significant and direct relationship between environmental education and solid waste management.
