Diseño de alternativas viables para la valorización de residuos sólidos no peligrosos en la urbanización La Marca - parroquia San Antonio de Pichincha.

Abstract

The main objective of this degree work was to propose viable options for the recovery of non-hazardous solid waste in the La Marca Urbanization, located in the San Antonio de Pichincha parish of the Metropolitan District of Quito. To develop the project, quantitative, descriptive and experimental methods were adopted in order to determine solid waste management. In addition, research techniques were used such as: field observations, as well as interviews and surveys of the residents of the urbanization. In turn, the SWOT analysis was carried out to understand the current urbanization scenario and propose alternatives accordingly. For the characterization of solid waste, the "Methodological Guide for the Development of the Study of Characterization of Municipal Solid Waste in Peru" was applied for 7 days in June 2021. For the generation of waste, the amount of 429.19 kg / week was obtained, with a CPP of 0.62 kg / inhab / day. The most representative of the composition were organic with 41.51%, followed by glass residues with 17.14%. As for the viable alternatives for recovery, the recycling of usable waste and the production of vermicompost were proposed. Finally, a didactic guide was developed to explain the correct disposal of waste, through the proposed alternatives: recycling and compost. The guide will be for the exclusive use of residents and includes recommendations to contribute to the sustainability of the alternatives proposed for urbanization.
