Diagnóstico ambiental de disposición final de desechos sólidos comunes y sanitarios de Camilo Ponce Enríquez y diseño del relleno sanitario

Abstract

Solid waste management is a problem that occurs in all cities worldwide, in Ecuador it is the competence of the Municipal GADs for efficient waste management, however, this practice is deficient due to the lack of infrastructure as is the case of the canton Camilo Ponce Enriquez, where population growth has led to an increase in the production of waste, which is deposited in an emerging cell with poor physical treatment and final disposal, which is why, as a general objective, it was considered to evaluate the environmental impacts of the final disposal of solid waste from Camilo Ponce Enriquez through qualitative and quantitative methods in order to design a landfill that guarantees the correct handling of the waste; the type of research carried out is exploratory, descriptive and field to be aware of how the final disposal of the waste is developed and the impacts that occur, determining that the area where the waste is disposed is an emerging cell which has collapsed becoming in a garbage dump, where currently the disorderly accumulation of waste is the same as it reaches the Bella Rica highway, this is because they do not have adequate control of the entry of cars with a load of waste and there is no more space to deposit the waste, bringing with it several critical environmental impacts, among them that the leachate system presents flaws in its operation
