According to this, the accommodation containers (EAH), of the island of San Andrés, are generators of all types of waste, whether recyclable or non-recyclable, special (white line) and hazardous waste (RESPEL), however, their greatest production is found in recyclable waste, which negatively impacts the environment, with respect to the other types of waste, the problem is that in this portion of island land, it is very difficult to give an adequate final disposal to these wastes, since it presents limitations for Be away from the continental country. In addition to this it presents the problem of the landfill, so it is there that the situation takes on a particular and worrying content, and with the failures of the local system, the poor management of the government and the environmental corporation, it is inevitable that it does not affect the form blunt and negative biosphere reserve.
