In Mexico, municipalities present challenges for waste management, due to economic development and the proportion of the urban population. Such waste must be managed to avoid contamination of the environment and natural resources. The objective of this research was to explore and analyze social perceptions of management practices in their different stages (generation, separation, collection, reuse and disposal) in Xaltianguis, municipality of Acapulco de Juárez, Guerrero, México. 389 questionnaires with 51 items were applied to people over 18 years of age. The results showed that people are willing to separate, collect and reuse waste in their homes, which is related to aspects such as: gender, age and level of education. The management of waste in this town is a challenge for the municipality, so the population tends to take actions to manage waste. It is concluded that joint work is necessary between the municipality, the actors involved, the private sector and the population for the coordination of actions supported by reliable diagnoses for the efficient use of available resources.
