Municipal solid waste treatment complex in small towns. Case study: San Andrés de Machaca.

Abstract

The project to conceptualize the Urban Solid Waste Treatment Complex in the town of San Andrés de Machaca, has been designed to give final disposal to common solid waste and hospital waste generated in the urban area and part of the rural area, in addition to taking advantage of organic waste through the generation of compost, additionally contemplates the recovery of part of the potentially recyclable materials, which will be carried out in a recycling plant that will be located inside the complex. The proposed and requested design is intended not as a final disposal site, but rather as a complex that integrates all the units in order to take advantage of solid waste, so that in the long term the common waste cell reduces the waste it receives. and thereby increase its useful life.
