We analyzed academic production on the teaching of solid waste in Brazilian basic education based on an integrative review of publications between 2018 and 2022. The CAPES Journal Portal, the CAPES Theses and Dissertations Catalog, the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses were consulted. and Dissertations, Google Scholar and the annals of ENPEC and CONEDU. The keywords used for the search were: “garbage”, “solid waste”, “education”, “teaching”, “school”. The themes were categorized by Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis (2006) and the teaching modalities followed Krasilchik's classification (2004). Of the 931 studies identified, 109 addressed teaching experiences about solid waste in Brazilian basic education. A third of the studies were published in 2019 (33%), 42% were carried out in the northeast, 60% involved initiatives in Elementary Education and public schools were the location of most of the work (84%). The teaching experiences were diverse, most of which were developed through lectures, practical classes and projects in different disciplines. Waste management and consumption reduction were the main thematic categories identified. Most of the educational practices addressed the teaching of solid waste in a technical way; Few studies have discussed the socioeconomic and cultural causes, as well as the collective responsibility for waste management. A contextualized approach to each reality, involving the school community and its surroundings, can contribute to promoting more critical and integrative practices regarding solid waste at school.
