Elaboración de un plan de manejo de residuos sólidos aprovechables en el barrio la Cocha.

Abstract

The work is developed with the purpose of developing a usable waste management plan in the La Cocha neighborhood located in the La Merced parish, with the aim of reducing pollution to the environment, since the neighborhood does not have garbage containers to deposit solid waste. The project began with the collection of basic information on the neighborhood, with which the challenges it faces were identified, due to the poor management of solid waste generated by the residents. This waste is dumped on public roads, bodies of water, green spaces and burned in the open air, thus harming both the environment and the appearance of the neighborhood. To develop this plan, an estimate was made of household solid waste in the selected properties. This activity is not considered a characterization of solid waste because its duration was only three days, and not eight as is the regulation to be considered a characterization, the Methodological Guide for the Development of the Study of Characterization of Municipal Solid Waste in.
