Diseño de un relleno sanitario del área urbana de la parroquia Taracoa, provincia de Orellana.

Abstract

A sanitary landfill was designed in the urban area of the Taracoa Parish, in the province of Orellana. The characterization of solid wastes and per capita production were determined by sampling 85 houses during 17 days where 0.54 kg / hab. / day was obtained, with 55.22% of organic residues and 44.78% of inorganic residues through the method of manual quartet. In the absence of a landfill the waste generated represents an environmental and social problem for the population of the Parish. The proposed design is a trench-type manual, which does not require advanced technology because it is a small population in the rural area with a production of 403.92 kg / day; the site consists of booth, registration and tools, composting area and 41 ditches where. The waste will be disposed of with a total available land area of 4662.45 m2. The manual landfill is efficient to cover the service to citizens, which has a life time of 10 years. It is recommended to implement the system of integral management of solid waste since it is a system whose purpose is to achieve effectiveness and efficiency to improve the service and quality of life of the population.
