Estimación de un índice de generación de residuos sólidos para la ciudad de Villavicencio

Resumen

The protection of the environment is one of the biggest problems today and within its most relevant fields of study we find solid waste management. This management has different activities and goals to achieve the ideal use of waste, and one of those activities are the indices or indicators of solid waste generation. This document presents the proposal to generate a solid waste generation index applied to the capital of the department of Meta, Villavicencio. This in order to deliver a study with more up-to-date data on the percentages of waste generated in the city of Villavicencio and to provide a basis for the generation of new management alternatives from the data collected. The waste generation index is a project that covers three stages for its realization, the first consists of collecting information on the behavior and culture of the people of Villavice with respect to the treatment they give to solid waste in their homes, this through a survey virtual disseminated in the different communes of the city. The second stage consists of a physical-on-site study, in which measurements of the waste generated in households will be made to record these data that are necessary in the final stage. As the last stage, the results obtained both in the surveys and the results measured in the field will be taken and they will be systematized for the presentation of the results and analysis, culminating in the conclusion.
