Technologies are essential nowadays, making environmental education even more fundamental as a social awareness practice. This research aimed to carry out a survey of scientific works on the use of Applications in environmental education as a tool to raise awareness of the correct disposal of electronic waste. The literature review involves consulting scientific publications, in Portuguese, indexed on Google Scholar in the period from 2017 to 2020. The following descriptors were used in the search system: “application” “environmental education” “electronic waste”, “development” "Application" "electronic waste" and "development" "application" "environmental education". The selection of the most relevant scientific publications on the topic was carried out after reading the titles and abstracts. The analyzed works point out applications for the awareness and disposal of electronic waste, a platform for selective collection, solid waste management, reverse logistics management, sustainability, environmental education and reporting of environmental crimes. It is hoped with this study, to make the population aware about the environmental impacts of the incorrect destination of solid waste, using apps as propellants of information.
