Solid wastes are all the solid or semi-solid residues of human or non-human activities that, although do not show utility for the order in which they were generated, can become to inputs for other activities. The study’s aim was to evaluate the population’s behavior about the attitudes and the perception connected to the solid wastes in the city of Coremas, Paraíba state. The data on attitudes and perceptions of the social actors were collected in the city of Coremas through questionnaires, previously structured with multiple choice questions in order to know the profile of the interviewed using the following variables: gender, age, education, marital status and income. The Descriptive analysis were performed to verify the perception of residents in the city according to the related variables to solid wastes. The relationship between socioeconomics variables and environmental performance related to solids wastes from residents of Coremas were verified by the chi-square test of independence, showing that there was a strong dependency between these variables, suggesting that the educational level, the income and the location of residents influenced in their attitudes and environmental perceptions in that city.
