Propuesta de un sistema de gestión de residuos sólidos domésticos para la comunidad Bella Unión del Napo de la parroquia San Carlos, cantón Sacha, provincia de Orellana.

Abstract

The lack of an adequate management system for domestic solid waste has brought with it health, environmental and economic problems for the Bella Unión del Napo community, causing waste to accumulate in the streets, in home yards, and in urban areas from the town; Therefore, the objective was set to develop a proposal for a management system for domestic solid waste generated in the Bella Unión del Napo Community in San Carlos, Sacha, Orellana province. The methodology was made up of three stages, in the first the collection of current information on the management of Household Solid Waste (RSD) was carried out through interviews, surveys and direct observation, the second stage consisted of the characterization of the RSD to determine its Per Capita (PPC), density and its physical composition, in the third stage, alternatives were designed for the community's comprehensive solid waste management system through a systematic review of the literature and based on field observation. The PPC of solid waste was 0.40 kg/ inhabitant /day, where the majority of the waste was organic matter with 74.64%, followed by 9.64% that corresponds to plastics, among others, the proposal was made up through three phases: training in environmental aspects, classification, as well as collection, transportation and recovery with which it is intended to use 94% of this waste. The PPC of waste in the community is lower than in other areas of the country, the correct separation of waste can generate a valuable resource for composting activities, which is why awareness campaigns and training on waste management are recommended, in addition to active promotion on waste classification issues.
