Diseño de PGIRS (Plan de Gestión Integral de Residuos Sólidos) en la Institución Gimnasio Mabel Condemarín

Abstract

This project was aimed at formulating a comprehensive solid waste management plan at the Mabel Condemarín Gymnasium institution. Proper solid waste management is essential not only for preserving the environmental surroundings but also for promoting ecological awareness within the educational community and, simultaneously, reducing contamination and negative impacts on public health. The process commenced with a thorough diagnosis encompassing the identification and analysis of issues related to solid waste generation and management within the institution. Field visits were conducted, and workshops were organized with staff and students to gather relevant information regarding their prior knowledge of solid waste management and their current practices. These visits and workshops provided a deeper understanding of the situation and allowed for the identification of critical areas requiring intervention. Particular attention was givento ecological points, collection points, and the institution's infrastructure, as these aspects play a fundamental role in waste management. Based on the diagnosis and analysis, improvement proposals were generated that addressed both internal waste management within the institution and community awareness. A strategic roadmap was developed to tackle these issues and promote a change in attitude towards solid waste management. The implementation of this comprehensive solid waste management plan was carried out progressively and in a participatory manner, involving teachers, administrative staff, and students. Practices for waste reduction, reuse, and recycling were promoted, as well as proper waste disposal. Environmental awareness became a critical component of the process, as the goal was to instill a strong environmental consciousness among members of the educational community
