Diseño de un sistema de gestión integral de residuos sólidos para la urbanización Los Cipreses II

Abstract

The following work was carried out in the Los Cipreses II urbanization located in the province of Pichincha. The general objective was to design an integral participative solid waste management system for the urbanization. A characterization of solid waste was carried out during seven days, from July 29 to August 4, 2019, during which the quantity and physical composition of the waste generated in the urbanization was determined. In addition, stakeholders, number of containers and solid waste collection points were identified. The amount of inorganic waste that can be used was also determined and an estimate of costs and income was made, taking into account the intervention of environmental managers chosen on the basis of their location, logistics and purchase price. The implementation of this design proposal will reduce some of the environmental problems that cause inadequate solid waste management. In addition, it is recommended to establish communication and awareness channels with residents through meetings, assemblies and programs within the urbanization in this way residents will be actively and continuously involved.
