Resumen
Currently in the City of Cuenca it is observed that there is no proper handling of the materials to be recycled; the garbage that reaches the dumps pollutes the water, air and soil. For this reason, establishing a waste separation process to recover reusable or recyclable materials would achieve environmental, social and economic benefits. This reality highlights the need to implement process standardization in recycled material collection centres based on planning, control and execution, to separate, store and transport materials that have been recycled considering its size, chemical composition and solid waste quality, with the priority of lowering operating costs in the organization and improving the logistics of the solid waste recycling system in the collection center El Chorro de la Ciudad de Cuenca. This paper describes the different methods of separation of recycled material, taking as a point of comparison three of them: current method of separation of recycled material, the batch method and the conveyor belt method. Which were applied in a real environment that allowed us to collect data and conclude which of them is the best.
