Abstract

The following work focuses on the analysis of solid waste management needs in the community of El Porvenir, Melúa, a rural area belonging to the municipality of Puerto López Meta, which presents a problem caused by the inadequate disposal of solid waste and by the existence of a collection point that is not in optimal operating conditions, presenting risks to the environment and human health. The formulation of an integrated solid waste management plan becomes a convenient instrument to improve solid waste management in rural areas, for which a methodology consisting of three phases is established, in the first phase an initial diagnosis is made, where it was determined that only 10% of the waste generated in the community, is disposed in the temporary storage unit, it was identified that this unit lacks the minimum requirements established by decree 2981 of 2013, in the second phase 5 environmental programs were generated as a strategy to improve the current conditions of waste in the community, Likewise, the design of the storage unit was made according to the requirements established in the decree, likewise a composting guide was created that will allow the community to take advantage of their organic waste in a correct way and as a third and final phase a monitoring and follow-up program is proposed based on the generation of management indicators that allow the evaluation of the integrated solid waste management plan.
