Abstract: This research work focuses on environmental care based on the treatment of solid, organic and inorganic waste. These inappropriate wastes cause deterioration of the environ-ment and the ozone layer. This is why we are currently seeing an abrupt change in climate and diseases caused by environmental pollution. The objective of the research work is to perform a system dynamics modeling for effective and efficient solid waste management in Lima Peru, and thus contribute to the scientific community to achieve a future vision for solid waste management. The methodology used was system dynamics, which made it possible to analyze and understand the behavior of a complex solid waste system in a given time. In addition, vensim software was used for system dynamics modeling, creating the causal diagram and forrester diagram for solid waste management. The results obtained are the system dynamics modeling proposed for solid waste management, which were modeled from 2020 to 2030, where by 2030 it will be reduced in favorable equilibrium to 23,066 tons. Thanks to this system dynamics modeling, society will be made aware of the need to sort and use solid waste, in order to reduce environmental pollution. Likewise, having a healthy environment that will benefit health, agriculture and education will benefit society as a whole.
