    This research, titled “Determination of the Collection Rate for Solid Waste Collection Services in the Cusubamba Parish, Salcedo Canton, Cotopaxi Province, Based on a Technical Analysis of Solid Waste Generated in 2026,” Its objective is to determine a technically sound fee through the characterization of solid waste, the updating of the user registry, and the technical and economic analysis of the collection service. The study made it possible to establish a fee that is economically sound and consistent with the actual conditions of the service, taking into account the characterization of solid waste, the updating of the user registry, and the technical and economic analysis of the collection system. The research was conducted using a mixed-methods approach with a descriptive and diagnostic scope, applying techniques such as direct observation, field forms, solid waste characterization, analysis of the user database, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for processing and interpreting the information. The results indicated an average per capita waste generation of 0.68 kg/person/day, with organic waste predominating, followed by materials such as plastic, paper and cardboard, glass, and other recyclable waste. The research was conducted using a mixed-methods approach with descriptive and diagnostic objectives, applying techniques such as direct observation, field data sheets, solid waste characterization, analysis of the user database, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for processing and interpreting the information. The results showed an average per capita waste generation of 0.68 kg/person/day, with organic waste predominating, followed by materials such as plastic, paper and cardboard, glass, and other recyclable waste. In addition, information on 9,446 properties was updated, of which 905 are in urban areas and 8,541 in rural areas, making it possible to identify user characteristics and evaluate collection service coverage, which exceeded 95%. Based on an analysis of the operating costs associated with the collection, transportation, and final disposal of solid waste, a differentiated fee was established by user category: Category A at $1.00 per month; Category B at $0.64 per month; Category C at $0.48 per month; and Category D at $7.48 per month. The proposed rate represents a technically sound and equitable alternative that allows for the recovery of service costs, thereby strengthening comprehensive solid waste management in the Cusubamba parish. Furthermore, it serves as a tool to support planning and decision-making by the Decentralized Autonomous Municipal Government of the Salc canton.
