Abstract

An Integrated Solid Waste Management for the Parish of San Juan Header Riobamba Canton located in the province of Chimborazo was designed to reduce the negative impacts caused by the lack of a comprehensive solid waste management. The analysis method is applied, as it allowed parties to study the existing problems by mishandling of municipal solid waste and how to analyze each of these as an independent study. To this end, the initial environmental assessment (Baseline) was performed to determine the causes and possible solutions to this problem. By random cluster sampling second level, in which the parish center is divided into three districts to determine the number of households to be sampled and surveyed; then calculate for proportional determining the number of surveys and samples to be executed according to the number of inhabitants per district, of which representative samples of municipal solid waste was obtained were performed, the same as those collected for cycle of eight days during the period from 5 to 12 May 2014. Municipal solid waste were collected, transferred to collection and weighed to determine the Production Per Capita (PPP) in kg / person / day. The data were tabulated, same as were used to calculate the volume and loose packed density as well as for the classification and calculation of PPC obtaining a value of 0.6 kg / person / day, mainly composed of organic waste, with an average of 56.05%, 18.76% plastic, toilet waste from 17.44%, 6.47% and tin paper with 1.01%. We conclude that the Integral Solid Waste Management was formulated in order to implement practical and necessary to prevent, minimize, mitigate and correct the negative impacts and effects arising from inadequate management of solid waste generated in the Header measures parish of San Juan and also being able to deploy to other parishes. It is recommended that environmental education workshops to the residents in order to decrease the generation of the origin and classification of organic and recyclable waste to be economically valuable.
