Objective

To present a systematic review of studies assessing the impact caused by municipal solid waste generated in the mixtec region of oaxaca.

Results

The analysis of the research results consulted in the databases: Red de Revistas Científicas de América Latina y el Caribe (Redalyc), Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Dialnet, EBSCO and Consorcio Nacional de Recursos de Información Científica y Tecnológica (CONRICYT), show that pollution is a problem that has been increasing at a global level gradually what has resulted in the presence of foreign organisms and substances that interfere with and damage people's health, natural resources and ecological balance; It is worth mentioning that the impact on the communities caused by the generation and management of solid waste in an inadequate manner significantly alters the ecosystem of the places adjacent to the final disposal sites of these wastes. It is important to note that there is legislation on the subject and classifies in a specific way the different final disposal sites and entrusts municipalities to carry out the integral management of urban solid waste but this legislation is not applied correctly despite the fact that this problem has become very relevant in the last two decades in government spheres.

Conclusions

Mexico has the challenge of solving environmental problems to achieve a level of sustainability and sustainability in the medium term, the rates of generation of solid urban waste continue to increase because we live in a society that has drastically changed their consumption habits. The degradation of the environment and natural resources for the Mixteca Oaxaqueña region is classified in ranges from unstable-critical to critical, causing pressure to be exerted on the natural resources. This is why it is necessary to have adequate management and disposal of solid urban waste, to achieve this it is necessary to have the support of society, governments and society in general; this synergy is necessary to reduce the extraction of resources used to produce them, obtaining long-term economic, social and environmental benefits for the region.
