Estudio de factibilidad para la implementación de la FASE 1 del Centro de Recuperación de Materiales Reciclables de los habitantes del cantón Rumiñahui

Abstract

Abstract: Rumiñahui canton located in the province of Pichincha does not have its own sanitary landfill, because of this, the solid waste generated is sent to the Inga Landfill belonging to the canton Quito according to a contract between public institutions. The Public Company of Aseo Rumiñahui, has conducted a study for the construction of a Material Recovery Center (CRM) that will process 165 tons/day, with a budget of $ 4,950,327.71. Due mainly to budgetary issues, the company is not in a position to execute a project of this magnitude, so the present work was developed with the objective of evaluating the implementation of the first phase of the project. Several data were evaluated to determine the feasibility of phased implementation. The results showed that the minimum capacity of the first phase is 90 tons/day to obtain favorable results, for this the entire infrastructure must be built. It was concluded that the most viable alternative is to build the CRM in its entirety with external financing as suggested by the global study.
