Abstract

This degree work develops a participatory model by the Tomasina community for the collection of usable solid waste through an exchange for a non-monetary incentive established by the educational community formed by (Students, teachers and administrators) of the headquarters Villavicencio. The incentive selected by the community was cafeteria bonuses which resulted from the environmental perception survey applied.

To know the amount of ordinary solid waste generated inside the Santo Tomás University headquarters Villavicencio campus Aguas Claras; by characterizing the waste, the methodology established by Kunitoshi Sakurai was selected as a reference, in which a proportion of the sample not exceeding 25 kg/day is taken, the ordinary solid waste generated during that period was separated and classified in order to facilitate its handling and weighing.

It is established that waste of unusable type has a higher proportion of 53.45%, compared to 2019 of 46%; in the case of waste of usable type 2019 present a generation of 54% higher than 2021 of 44.45%. For the period 2021-1 it is identified that various papers (papers that have come into contact with fats, oils or organic residues) have a value of 45.32%, followed by plastic type PET with 17.33% and cardboard with 13.90%. The per capita production produced by the inhabitants per day is determined to be 0.020 kg/inhabitant/day and an annual generation of 7,650 kg/inhabitant/year is projected. It is emphasized that the two periods taken as reference for the document (year 2019 and 2021) present the particularity of being in pre-pandemic time and during the pandemic.
