Evaluación y monitoreo del sistema de recolección y transporte de residuos sólidos de la empresa “Empopamplona S.A.S. E.S.P.” enfocado en los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible.

Abstract

An environmental and technical diagnosis of the solid waste collection system of the city of Pamplona, Norte de Santander was carried out through the evaluation of environmental performance with environmental indicators and the monitoring of collection routes. At the same time, the corresponding maps of current routes in the municipality were made using AutoCAD software. Environmental performance was evaluated and analyzed through three indicators: carbon footprint of collection vehicles, per capita production of waste and critical points. A detailed study of times and movements was carried out for each of the collection routes including the additional shift route carried out for large waste producers in the municipality. Routes were observed with collection points far from each other, unnecessary transport of waste, a large number of critical points on collection days, unclear start and end points of the routes and a high generation of waste per inhabitant per day.
