For the development of the work presented here the data was surveyed at the USR (Urban Solid Residues) treatment plant of the municipality of Apostoles, Misiones, Argentine Republic. It consists, in the first place, in simulating the nonexistence of said plant with the idea of installing it in the area, determining the environmental impacts caused by this construction. Next, the current operation of the plant is analyzed, identifying the most outstanding environmental aspects and its treatment; so as to later propose possible solutions with the implementation of an Environmental Management System. The system will include from the gathering of the residue up till its final disposal, considering as residue only the domestic ones, leaving aside those considered as industrial, of services activities, dangerous and toxic.
