This research contribution in the university context, specifically in food services, aims to reveal intangible subjectivities of the social actors involved under this study field. Our phenomenological and interpretative gaze was oriented to unveil the Social Representations (RS) of scraps and solid waste handling (MRDS) for ecological awareness in the university management of the ULA-Mérida-Venezuela food services, which emerged as a result of culture, experiences and multiple interactions of social actors, allowing us to interpret and understand the meanings they gave to such management. This research was carried out on the qualitative perspective, interpretive paradigm, according to a relativistic ontology, epistemology of symbolic interactionism and the hermeneutical phenomenological method, supporting this contribution in the theoretical perspective “Theory of the RS” proposed by Moscovici from the procedural approach. The significance of the research lies in the recursive and idiographic artisan interweaving of the methodology for the interpretation and understanding of the meanings. The in-depth interview and list of associative words was used to the social actors who contributed their narratives that allowed us to unveil and characterize the unveiled srs, whose understanding and interpretation laid the foundations for the construction of the theoretical approximation of the SRS of the MRDS for ecological awareness in the university management of the dining rooms ULA-Mérida-Venezuela.
