    This project was carried out in the parish of Aloasi, Mejía, Pichincha province, with the objective of diagnosing the current system of integral solid waste management, characterizing and quantifying the waste generated and finally designing a methodological proposal for management using dynamic software. To carry out the work, we began with a general diagnosis of the current management of solid waste in the parish. Through the application of surveys and the observation technique, the main problems and needs of the inhabitants were identified. Subsequently, the calculation phase and the field work were carried out, which allowed us to analyze and obtain results on the characterization of household waste. This characterization was carried out with a total of 15 samples collected in strategic sectors of the parish during a period of 7 consecutive days. Following the methodology proposed by Dr. Kunitoshi Sakury and Cantanhede in the “Guide for the Characterization of Household Solid Waste”, developed by CEPIS and PAHO, the per capita generation (PPC) and the physical composition of solid waste were determined using the quartic method. The results indicated that per capita production is 0.26 kg/inhabitant/day, with a waste composition that breaks down into 30% organic matter, 39% inorganic matter and 31% special and hazardous waste. Finally, it was concluded that the Integrated Waste Management System covers most of the population, although there was evidence of inadequate collection and, therefore, poor final disposal of waste. Based on the results obtained, a control panel or Dashboard was designed to improve the understanding of waste generation in the parish. In addition, a proposal was implemented to be executed in the El Tajo neighborhood, which includes alternatives such as solid waste storage and classification, collection, waste recovery, transportation, as well as environmental education and occupational health and safety. These activities will contribute to improve solid waste management in the neighborhood and, subsequently, will be implemented in the parish of Aloasi.
