Abstract

In the present research work, the Integral Management plan Proposal for the solid residues generated in the Ducur and Chontamarca parish headers of Cañar canton, province of Cañar was made. The work began with the evaluation of the current situation of the solid waste management system, where surveys were applied to the inhabitants, interviews with the parish authorities, workers in charge of collection, street sweeping and workers at the landfill and observation visits to the parish headers and sanitary landfill of Yuracasha. The solid waste was characterized through a monitoring program with seven samplings, indicating that the two parish headwaters have an average per capita generation rate of 0.48 kg / inhab * day, and a density of 589.3 kg / m3. It was also found that the inhabitants do not correctly classify the waste from their homes, mixing organic waste with inorganic waste causing discomfort with the collection and handling of waste. A solid waste management plan was proposed that is made up of four programs: environmental education, collection and transport, segregation and storage, and solid waste management.
