Abstract: The La Rinconada mining camp has become an infectious focus that affects the health of the same inhabitants who reside in the place at 5,100 meters above sea level. in the Peruvian highlands. The informality of mining activity in the La Rinconada Populated Center has caused environmental problems with solid waste that is dumped on the sides of the access road due to the absence of a treatment plant and quality drinking water. Solid waste pollution is the responsibility of the government and households that represent the main source of solid waste generation, mitigation measures are found in the design of public policies, formulation of public investment projects in sanitation, solid waste, and contingency plans to reduce solid waste generated by informal mining.
