Abstract

The Constitution of Ecuador in force as of 2008 recognizes the right of people to live in a healthy and ecologically balanced environment, free from pollution and in harmony with nature, and is also concerned about activities that generate impacts on the environment. This project was carried out in the facilities of the Drinking Water and Sanitation Administration Board, located in the San José de Ayora parish, province of Pichincha, Cayambe canton, this project aimed to carry out the characterization of solid waste generated within the parish, for which the methodology proposed by Dr. Kunitoshi Sakurai was followed, in his document called Simple method of solid waste analysis, available at CEPIS. This methodology allows to know the quantity and composition of the waste, parameters that are necessary to implement sustainable alternatives to reduce or mitigate the environmental impacts that are generated by the waste. The study identified that in the Ayora parish, the PPC is 0,27 𝐾𝑔ℎ𝑎𝑏∗𝑑í𝑎 this amount is the average of the contribution of stratum A (0,43), B (0,17) and C (0,21), the data regarding the composition of waste are: organic matter (43,65%), recyclable waste bags (13,61%), bottles (4,54%), paper (4,15%), cardboard (4%), and hazardous waste (18,02%). As a final product of the study, an alternative is proposed to take advantage of organic waste and build a bonesumos management center that will generate compost that will be used as fertilizer for the agriculture of the Ayora parish
