This paper presented a preliminary attemptof bridging a gap existing traditional approach to solving publicadministration problems and the System Dynamics perspective. The problem ofsolid waste in Pueblais a practical context in which think model is developed. The model and itsruns prove that present official definition of the problem is wrong and thatthe solid waste recollection and recuperation could be converted from aresources consuming to resource generating process. It also shows how themunicipal budget assigned to cleaning service can create a new reinforcing loopthat links profit of the companies involved in the refuse recycling industrywith a decrease of solid waste contamination in Puebla.
