Abstract: The present project addresses the problem that solid waste has been causing in the Paramajó River in the municipality of Abaetetuba-Pa, for the riverside population and viable proposals for the Rio Paramajó community mitigate environmental impacts through actions that promote awareness of the local community. The procedures used in the referred project focused on field research through an on-site investigation of the current conditions of the local riverside people in relation to how the community disposes of the waste produced. The trash produced does not have a proper destination, in addition to domestic activities which are sources of water pollution on the banks of the river as they throw various objects. Until recently, there was no information about the damage that could be caused by the trash present in the river could cause damage to the population. However, due to the increase in the local population, there was an increase in the amount of trash produced and thrown into the river. Over time, this trash accumulates, causing contamination of the river and interfering in the quality of residents life s.
