Estudio para la implementación del sistema de contenerización en el sector periférico de la ciudad de Riobamba.

Abstract

The present study performed in the neighborhoods of the peripheral zone Riobamba city during the second semester of 2017, the principal purpose of performing an analysis of solid waste in the sector and determining the feasibility of implementing containerization system and mechanized collection of lateral load. 36 peripheral neighborhoods of the city had a technical visit under selection criteria established by the Department of Solid Wastes of Directorate of Environmental Management, Health, and Hygiene (DASH) 29 selected neighborhoods complied with necessary guidelines for implementation of the collection system. The Manual of Instruction for Analysis of Solid Residues elaborated by Dr. Kunitoshi Sakurai, physical variables calculated of waste analysis gave a current value of production per capita weighted of 0.454 Kg/hab/day. Afterward, the collected waste characterized gave as a result that organic matter was the waste of highest generation (56.91%), followed by plastic (7.38%), paper (6.12%) as most representative wastes. Therefore, it estimated that around 45 metal containers of 2400 capacity liters are needed to supply a production of 2.44 tons/day, benefiting 1132 families. Municipal Decentralized Autonomous Government of Riobamba Canton must proceed with the design of routes and strategic location of containers peripheral sector of the city. The useful life of study it is projected by 15 years, delivering a future benefit to 7284 inhabitants. It is concluded that the study presents a good feasibility of application since the data obtained far outweigh the information values of previous studies that the GADM Riobamba has. The research paper recommends the execution of a mechanized collection design.
