Caracterización de los residuos sólidos generados en la Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia sede principal de Villavicencio Meta

Resumen

The characterization of the solid waste generated at the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, headquarters of Villavicencio Meta, was based on the diagnosis of the management of solid waste generated by the academic community, then estimating the amount and type of solid waste generated and finally identifying alternatives for solid waste management. I use a quantitative methodology, in which I describe how the population of 988 participants among students, teachers and general staff participated in the survey. With the per capita waste production method, the amount of waste generated within the headquarters was determined, then it was established that the knowledge of the participants in the management of solid waste is relatively significant, however it is evident little culture of managing it. The relevance of the development of a PGIRS that guides greater productivity in the matter of waste disposal is also highlighted for the university, generating a change in the structure of the efficient use of these, as an opportunity for economic sustainability.
