Desarrollo de un sistema de manejo integral de residuos sólidos domiciliarios para el barrio Buenaventura ubicado al sur de Quito

Abstract

The main objective of the present work was to develop a comprehensive household solid waste management system for Buenaventura neighborhood, located south of Quito. For this, the evaluation criteria for the integral management of waste of the Sustainable Quito Metropolitan Environmental Distinction were considered, for the neighborhoods category. The project began with the diagnosis of the integral management of household solid waste, through interviews with key actors, observation and surveys of the residents of the neighborhood, then a search for complementary information was carried out on the daily collection of waste managed by EMASEO, in the sector. Based on the diagnosis, a guide was developed for the management of household solid waste for the Buenaventura neighborhood. This document is divided into four chapters: the first chapter contains the introduction of the project where the scope, justification, objectives and theoretical foundations that refer to the subject of study, methodology and results are described. As results, it is mentioned that the Buenaventura neighborhood manages its waste without any form of prior use, this is because there is no commitment between the residents and the leader of the pro-improvement committee, and because of the deficiency in environmental education and the interest in improving waste management in the neighborhood. Through the results obtained, the management system was developed that proposes solid waste management alternatives, which are included in the guide.
