    In this paper, a non-hazardous solid waste minimization plan was developed, and improvements were made to strengthen the management of solid waste in Arenales and Guarumales, the camps of the hydroelectric power plants Mazar and Molino. Two strategic objectives were considered; Decreasing the amount of solid waste that arrives at the sanitary landfill located in Guarumales and increasing the participation of the personnel within the powerplants. The methodology that was proposed for the fulfillment of this project was executed in four stages based on the specific objectives that were proposed. The first stage consisted of a field and documentary investigation to determine the current situation of waste management within the camps. It was possible to determine that the Instruction Manual for the Management of Solid Waste is the document which details the processes to be followed in the management of non-hazardous solid waste and that the per capita waste generation has decreased in Mazar from 0.834 kg/capita/day to 0.509 kg/capita/day and in Molino from 0.617 kg/capita/day to 0,464 kg/capita/day, since its implementation in 2015. The second stage allowed us to determine the areas, processes, and types of solid wastes with higher generation inside the camps. Finally, the third and fourth stages consisted in elaborating the minimization plan and proposing the most viable measures and alternatives for the optimization and strengthening of the non-hazardous solid waste management.
