Propuesta del Plan de Gestión Integral de Residuos Sólidos Domiciliarios generados en la cabecera parroquial Lloa del cantón Quito, Provincia de Pichincha

Abstract

Abstract:The proposed integral solid waste management plan seeks to know the quantity and type of solid household waste that is produced in the Lloa parish to propose alternatives that improve the management of such waste. First, a diagnosis was made of the management of waste from its generation in homes to its final disposal; for this, surveys, interviews, direct observation and sample collection were applied to know their weight and composition. The results showed that: the density of solid waste is 357.5 kg / m3, the generation per capita is equal to 0.71 kg / inhab / day, the majority of waste, 48.31%, is organic matter and usually it´s used as animal feed or fertilizer, the majority of residents classify their waste, plastic bottles are almost completely recycled. With all the information collected, it has been proposed to increase the use of recyclable material, educate the community to improve the management of their waste and request logistical and financial support from public and private entities to carry out the proposals.
