Resumen
En las ciudades los residuos sólidos representan un problema continuo de contaminación ambiental especialmente los residuos sólidos orgánicos debido a que ocasionan problemas a la salud pública por vectores y reducen el ciclo de vida de rellenos sanitarios. Este trabajo de investigación abordó el sistema de gestión de residuos sólidos orgánicos actual de la parroquia San Antonio de Pichincha, ciudad de Quito. Mediante encuestas realizadas a propietarios de 15 tiendas minoristas de las cuales en 10 se caracterizaron los residuos sólidos generados durante 4 semanas consecutivas, 4 días a la semana, se determinó la cantidad de residuos sólidos generados, siendo predominantes los residuos sólidos orgánicos (85,84%), inorgánicos (11,85%) y raquis (2,31%) se conoció que no se aprovechan los recursos que ofrecen los residuos sólidos en la parroquia, por lo que se presenta alternativas para aprovecharlos a través de un sistema de compostaje y gestionándolos con Organizaciones no Gubernamentales.
In cities, solid waste represents a continuous problem of environmental pollution, especially organic solid waste, because it causes public health problems due to vectors and reduces the life cycle of sanitary landfills. This research work addressed the current organic solid waste management system of the San Antonio de Pichincha parish, city of Quito. Through surveys carried out with owners of 15 retail stores, of which 10 characterized the solid waste generated during 4 consecutive weeks, 4 days a week, the amount of solid waste generated was determined, with the predominant organic solid waste (85,84 %), inorganic (11,85%) and rachis (2,31%) it was known that the resources offered by solid waste in the parish are not used, so alternatives are presented to take advantage of them through a composting system and managing them with Non-Governmental Organizations.
