Abstract
Introduction. Following the world trends concerning the search for sustainability, university institutions have
assumed efforts in recent years to develop strategies to manage the dangerous solid waste they produce, aiming
to control and minimize pollution within their spaces. Objectives. To design and implement educational
strategies for the adequate disposal and segregation of chemical waste, thus minimizing harmful effects on the
environment and meeting the regulations. Methodology. This paper registers a qualitative research work
applied to the segregation and the disposal of chemical solid waste from the Biochemistry and Animal Feeding
Laboratory at Politécnico Colombiano Jaime Isaza Cadavid, developed with three phases: i) diagnose of the problem;
ii) implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the methodology applied and iii), sensitization and training
of the staff of the laboratory and socialization to the academic community. Results. The results have allowed
a qualitative classification of the waste generated in the practices, labeling, storing and segregating each waste
with the participation of the educational community that uses the laboratory, with educational processes in the
classroom and following the legal conditions on the subject. Conclusions. The work developed has contributed
to execute the disposal and the segregation of the chemical waste produced in the laboratory by means of the
sensitization and the environmental education, thus allowing the fulfillment of the legal requisites.
