Abstract

Abstract:Having programs and strategies that allow an adequate management of solid waste becomes essential for the Municipal GAD who are the entities responsible for such management, thanks to these systems take advantage of organic and inorganic waste that can be incorporated into new processes, improving the living conditions of the citizens and the environment. Thus, this paper proposes a management solid waste plan for the parish headers of Arcapamba, Huertas, malvas and Muluncay. Through fieldwork it was determined that the average per capita generation for each inhabitant is of 0.24 kg per day. Another important fact recorded was the composition of the solid waste, where 36.85% is organic waste, and the 63.15% correspond to inorganic waste. In response to this problem, we present the comprehensive solid waste management plan, which presents environmental awareness and education programs, solid waste segregation at the source, differentiated harvest, and final disposition, each one with strategies and activities that promote environmental principles and values, with emphasis on the correct management of solid waste of the population.
