| Sumario: | The lack of infomation about municipal waste generation, is one of the principal problems for the development of waste management programs in Mexico. Although there is a change in consumption and comercialization habits in mexican population, the markets and tianguis are still important in the trade of goods, and therefore important generators of municipal solid waste. This project was carried out to analize the solid waste generation of 6 markets of the city of Morelia, in the state of Michoacan. The collection of samples was made for seven days and a survey was made to know the number of commerces and their activities. An evaluation of the total generation of solid waste by market and commerce was made too. The by-producI analysis indicates a generation of 83 % organic matter and the remaining 17 % was made up by paper, plastic, glass and metals, which are reciclable materials. |
