Abstract

This work includes the implementation of a solid waste management system developed in an Educational Unit in the Quito Canton, Chillogallo Parish. The institution has a kindergarten (CEI), elementary, middle school and high school. A characterization of the waste generated in each of the facilities was carried out. The per capita production rate (PPC) of the initial education center was of 0,184 kg/student*day, while in the rest of the Educational Unit it was of 0,097 kg/ student*day. The waste with the highest generation in the CEI was organic waste, with a 36,69% and non-reusable wastes (RNA) in a 33,54%. In the rest of the Educational Unit there was a generation of organic waste (OW) of a 38,23 and a 26,05% of plastic residues (RP). The residues had a moisture content of 73,29%, a lower calorific value (LCV) of 0,0179 kcal/g, presence of coliforms, aerobic bacteria, molds and yeasts.

Keyphrases: Characterization, Humidity, lower calorific value, PPC, residues
