Sumario: Introduction. The problem of solid waste has become a global concern, which is why it is necessary to create strategies to improve the way they are prepared, through strategies that minimize the environmental impact. General objective. Characterize solid waste from the cafeteria of the University of San Buenaventura Cartagena, with the purpose of proposing alternatives of use with biotechnology emphasis. Methodology. Quantitative study of a cross - sectional prospective type, in which the coffee solid waste was characterized during a period of two months, where three random sampling were carried out for one week, using quarantine methods and volume - weight analysis. Results. In the cafeteria of the University of San Buenaventura Cartagena, during the first week of sampling a total of 188.5 kg / l of waste was generated and in the week two 411.6 kg / l. At the end of the two samplings, it was observed that 70% of solid wastes were classified as organic waste, 26% as recyclable waste and 4% as non-recyclable solids. Conclusions. The proposed alternative was to use as raw material and biotechnological potential the organic material generated in cafeterite. Through the characterization of all types of waste, the recovery capacity of each is evidenced; Which demonstrated that it is possible to carry out separation, collection and recycling processes..
