The methodology used was documental research. The research site was the website of the city hall of Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul. The sample consisted of documents, news of the actions taken, official letters, laws, and projects. The results showed that in the municipality of Dourados (MS), there are a municipal sanitary landfill and sewage treatment plants (ETEs), which are described as references for a training course for professionals included in the National Program for the Training of Environmental Managers of the Ministry of the Environment. Furthermore, there are three stations: Raccoon, Água Boa and Laranja Doce. It was found that the Environmental Institute of Dourados launched a contest aiming to reduce solid waste sent to the landfill and inserting environmental awareness, starting with children. Moreover, the municipal sanitary landfill of Dourados has become a reference in the Center-West region, ranking first in the Center-West in a BNDES survey, which evaluated the technologies for the adequate treatment and destination of solid waste in Brazil, ahead of the cities of Chapadão do Céu and Goiânia, in Goiás.
