Context of the research: This study looks at the separation of Urban Solid Waste (MSW) at the origin, in the perspective of convergence with SDG 12 and the adoption of practices conducive to the mitigation of the harmful effects of waste on the environment. Preserving the environment is the responsibility of all active forces in society. The notion and effectiveness of recycling gave new guise to what was seen as useless waste. The separation of these waste according to its rules is an important stage of the recycling process, which brings several advantages to the environment and the economy, on which the concept of sustainability is based. For Angolan universities, having installed containers for solid waste disposal classified according to recycling rules is a quality indicator. Objective of the article: To understand how the packaging of Urban Solid Waste (MSW) that are produced at Mandume Ya Ndemufayo University (UMN) is done. Methodology: The research, by its design, is a case study with quantitative and qualitative approach, and to achieve its goal, we used a questionnaire survey made through the google form, with the participation of the 6 Dependent Bodies of the UMN. Results: It is observed that 83.3% of the Units that integrate the UMN do not separate organic solid waste from recyclables, while 16.7% sometimes performs the separation. Conclusion: The present study presents generic information about the conditions of packaging of MSW in the UMN as a sustainable practice, although it is not yet considered routine.
