Elaboración de un plan de manejo de residuos sólidos para la escuela Jesús Ordóñez

Abstract

The objective of this project to propose a solid waste management plan for the Jesús Ordóñez School located in the canton of Quito. For the development of the project, the qualitative and quantitative approach was used, because it starts with the determination of the current situation of solid waste management through the collection of information, through interviews, field observations, surveys, talking maps and problem tree. To determine the generation and composition two characterizations were carried out over five days, the first was carried out in January, when the school activities were carried out normally and the second was carried out in February, during the inauguration of the internal championship. The GPC was of 0.024 kg/habitant*day. In the first and second characterization 21.65 kg and 23.77 kg were generated, the fractions protruding in both cases are organic with 29% and 25%, followed by unusable wastes with 19% and 20% respectively. The proposal for the solid waste management plan was developed on the basis of the bibliographic review, the analysis of the applied techniques and the results of the two characterizations.
