The objective of this article was to develop a model for the dynamic management assessment of the ordinary waste of Bogota and to assess its influence in the indicators of used and properly disposed waste, which are part of the Urban Environmental Quality Index. For the construction of the model, the Systems Dynamic methodology was applied, which allowed the assessment of different management scenarios. Four scenarios were proposed: the first one represented the increase in the separation at the source; the second one showed an increase of 20 % in the recycling; the third one collected the previous two; and, finally, the fourth one looked for encouraging the separation at the source and bring to 50 % the recycling. Considering the model simulations, it is evident that it is urgent to elaborate education strategies for the population to promote the separation at the source; furthermore, it is important to improve the recycling in order to impact the landfill life and to improve the analyzed indicators.
