Abstract: Currently, municipal data on green waste collections are still incipient, with waste generally destined for landfills, vacant lots, and landfills. An alternative to using this waste is composting. Thus, part of the green waste from the municipality of Maricá is sent to the Agroecological Production Unit at the Joaquín Piñero Public Farm to be used in composting. The objective of this work is to quantify, locate, and describe the municipal green waste received at the Agroecological Production Unit. Between January and September 2024, the Agroecological Unit received more than 4 tons of green waste from 11 collection points in the municipality. Approximately 62% of such waste is of satisfactory quality with little contamination by other urban solid waste. Using this waste for composting represents a way of reducing costs for the municipal government and represents an environmental improvement and adds value to the products generated.
