To solve the several problems caused from the deficient solid waste management in many of our municipalities, must be considered 4 substantial items: planning, legislation, the most citizen participation and the financing aspect. Failing in any of those subjects is to conduce to serious problems as increasing rates of non coverage on waste collection, or on the raise of illegal dumping into de cities, in example. At present, too many alternatives in technologies, to solve any of the solid waste control’s stage, are proposed to municipalities and central governments as the best with no previous feasibility analyzes. This has become in economical looses because of fraud or inexperienced governmental agents allied with unmoral salesman. This article is to propose, mainly, the creation of communitarian enterprises to operate the solid wastes system, throw the improvement of society’s collaboration and involvement into the public services as the main performer in solutions. This is to oppose to the wrong politics that have been generalized and implanted, from certain governmental areas, in order to privatize the public services without studying alternatives that could be better to a society. Of course, to have successful experiences it should be necessary to know the different characteristics of each community or city. In this way, to implant a communitarian enterprise would be helpful the knowledge of the feasibilities on economical, social and environmental items.
