Propuesta para la gestión de residuos sólidos en la secretaría de cultura del centro cultural de Cali

Abstract

This research addresses the issues related to the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (PGIRS) implemented in the Ministry of Culture of Santiago de Cali, specifically regarding the challenges presented by the entity in the separation at the source and the good practices in the use of waste generated by officials and users who visit the Cultural Center. The objective of this article is to contribute to the current state of solid waste management in the Ministry of Culture of Santiago de Cali, proposing improvement actions that allow improving the control of collection points that are distributed in that public space. It starts with identifying the different activities that are carried out within the Secretariat by means of data obtained such as: source separation, final disposal and statistical observation through the average perception of officials and visiting users. In the results, it was found that the Secretariat generates approximately 14,907 kg per year of unusable solid waste and of which 31.2% is material with potential that can be exploited through recycling or reuse processes. In the perception, it is observed that 41% of the officials only sometimes use the ecological points and 47% of the users state that they do not do so due to lack of signage. The proposal is directed towards a philosophy of continuous improvement established in the PHVA cycle, accompanying what it has with new proposals that seek to correct the deficiencies found in the diagnosis, as well as to give correct compliance with the comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan
