The unbridled increase in the generation of solid waste, especially electronic waste, due to its dangerousness, has been worrying the world. The Judiciary, based on shared responsibility, has already been promoting some sustainable practices to improve the environment and society as a whole. The aim of this study is to contribute, with possible improvements in the Solid Waste Technological Route (Toners) in the Thomaz aquino Forum, an integral unit of the Judiciary of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil, located in the central area of the city of Recife. The methodology was carried out through a bibliographic survey, including qualitative and quantitative research, by data collection, through questionnaires, about the management of the Toner Technological Route of 14 offices, located in the Thomaz Aquino Forum, in order to propose more effective adjustments and adjustments, in addition to expanding information on the importance of knowledge and participation of all in sustainable actions. The study is relevant, given the importance of adequate solid waste management, which make it possible to contribute effectively to the protection of the environment in order to avoid or minimize environmental and institutional degradation, to provide subsidies to propose new actions in updating the next Sustainable Logistics Plan (PLS), in order to achieve its goals and objectives. It was concluded that the Court, although it works positively in the realization of sustainable practices, still demonstrates fragility of some measures from the simplest measures such as information and guidance to the effective improvements, especially in the management of electronic waste and its technological routes.
