El reciclaje en la ciudad de Guayaquil

Abstract

In the city of Guayaquil, waste causes disrespect for schedules due to the accumulation of domestic garbage, that is one of the problems that persists in the city. Therefore, the people who collect garbage "recyclers" sustain themselves from that, classifying plastics, glass, etc., to later sell them in the factories. Currently the problem goes beyond the ways of collecting domestic waste, the increase in routes and their frequencies. The problem really lies in improvised garbage dumps, such as empty or abandoned lots, corners of main avenues and, on many occasions, playgrounds. With this documentary, the importance of counteracting the risks of environmental contamination, illnesses and accidents of people who recycle will be highlighted. The data collection itself consists of obtaining the perspectives and points of view of the recyclers and the place where they deposit or sell it.
