Abstract

The evaluation of the solid waste treatment plant of the Panpatin sector, located in the urban area of Santa Cruz La Laguna, was necessary because the entry of inorganic waste exceeds its capacity and its management implies high expenditure for the town council. It began with a characterization of solid waste, contemplating what enters the treatment plant, calculating the per capita production, density, volumes of waste entering the plant and percentage of collection coverage in the urban area. With the data obtained, the environmental indicators of solid waste were acquired based on what was established in the solid waste characterization manual of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. The volumes of the waste entering the plant were calculated, separating into recyclable, organic and inorganic materials, followed by measuring the different areas of the plant to make a comparison of volumes and the time it would take for them to saturate. The results indicated that the total volumes of waste entering the plant are not greater than those of its capacity, however the area of inorganic wastes exceed its capacity by 32.5%, this is mainly due to the lack of separation of the waste from the source and within the same plant, this results in the mixing of recyclable, organic and inorganic materials in that area.
