This article is a literature review on this topic, with emphasis on the analysis of SW indicators and of systems they concern to. It assessed whether these indicators can represent SW complexity and sustainability aspects. Results in the present review have evidenced that 77.8% of system indicators use at most two SW indicators. Most of these indicators aim at indicating destination stages and the final SW management, environmental sustainability aspects and intermediate magnitude levels in SW management hierarchy. There was evidence of the positive impact of Public participation on the assessed matters. Final considerations present recommendations about SW indicators inclusion in LSA systems.33471850engAvaliação de sustentabilidade localEvaluación de la sostenibilidad localHierarquia da gestão de resíduosIndicadores de sostenibilidadIndicadores de sustentabilidadeJerarquía de gestión de resíduosLocal Sustainability assessmentParticipación socialParticipação públicaPublic participationSustainability indicatorsWaste management hierarchyGeneral Environmental ScienceGeneral Social SciencesSDG 11 - Sustainable Cities and CommunitiesSDG 12 - Responsible Consumption and ProductionSDG 16 - Peace, Justice and Strong Institutionsjournal article10.1590/1809-4422asoc20190028r3vu2020L5AOhttps://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85100800808
