Sumario:The inconsistency of official data on waste inventories affects several countries in the world. Given their importance in integral management planning to mitigate its impact, this article seeks to estimate the organic share of special management waste generated in the commercial and service economic units of Mexico City, by analyzing generation rates per employee. The results show the daily generation of 14 155 tons of organic waste. This alternative strategy will reinforce integral management and the implementation of waste policy.
