Resumen
En la presente propuesta de sistema de gestión de desechos sólidos en la Unidad Educativa Océano
Pacífico, Posorja, cantón Guayaquil, provincia del Guayas, Ecuador. Se prioriza la prevención y
minimización en la generación de residuos. Para determinar las medidas a tomar en la realización de
este proyecto se diagnosticó la gestión actual de la institución recopilando información por medio de
observación directa, entrevista a diferentes actores del área de estudio, encuestas, cuantificación y
caracterización de desechos; por lo que, se obtuvo como resultado que el sistema actual para la gestión
de los desechos en la institución es ineficiente, los desechos son recolectados sin separación en la fuente
y entregados a los carros recolectores de Puerto Limpio quienes transportan los desechos hacia el relleno
sanitario Las Iguanas. En la cuantificación de desechos se obtuvo que en la Unidad Educativa se genera
un total de 9.13 kilogramos de desechos diariamente, 109.5 kilogramos de desechos semanalmente con
un promedio de 0.019 kilogramos/persona/día. En la caracterización de desechos se obtuvo que los
desechos más generados en la institución son el papel y el plástico, los mismos que no tienen una gestión
adecuada. Para cambiar esa situación se realizaron capacitaciones de educación ambiental, planes de
gestión ambiental y una política enfocada a mejorar la situación actual de la institución.
The present study is about the proposal of solid waste management system at a school called Oceano Pacifico, located in Posorja, Guayaquil canton, Guayas province, Ecuador. In the study the prevention and minimization of waste generation has been prioritized. With the object of taking actions to improve the waste management at the school, the current management of the institution was diagnosed. This process was carried out through the following methods: collecting information through direct observation, interviewing different actors in the study area, surveys, quantification and characterization of waste. The result was that the current waste management system at the institution was inefficient. The waste disposals were collected without separation at the source and delivered to the collector trucks of the company Puerto Limpio, which was in charge of transporting disposals to a landfill called Las Iguanas, located in Guayaquil. Results related to the quantification of waste were that, a total of 9.13 kilograms of waste was generated daily and 109.5 kilograms of waste weekly with an average of 0.019 kilograms/ person/ day. Results related to waste characterization, it was found that the type of waste generated the most in the institution were paper and plastic, which are not properly managed. To change this situation, environmental education trainings were carried out, environmental management plans and a policy focused on improving the current situation of the institution.
