In many cases, society is indifferent and silent on the issue of waste generation, either because it does not understand the negative environmental impacts it generates, due to lack of knowledge, or because it understands that it is a public management problem. It is believed that greater involvement of society is needed in the search for solutions and that environmental education may be the solution for greater engagement. This work aimed to evaluate the knowledge of Basic Education teachers about the reuse of solid waste. Initially, the research addresses four types of waste reuse: waste that is transformed into art, income, housing and that returns to the production cycle. As a result of the survey research, it is concluded that the knowledge of teachers about reusing solid waste is satisfactory, however, more sustainable practices can be performed, such as: separation of waste at home and the delivery of waste at the collection point.
