CASTILLO MEZA, Luis Eduardo  e  LUZARDO BRICENO, Marianela. Solid Waste Management Evaluation at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Bucaramanga's Campus. Rev. Fac. ing. [online]. 2013, vol.22, n.34, pp.71-84. ISSN 0121-1129.

An evaluation of the solid waste management process at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana -Bucaramanga, Campus-. Was performed through four stages: Characterization of the solid waste to be disposed, quantifying the recyclable or reusable solid waste, evaluation of additional factors associated with the solid waste management process and the statistical analysis of the gathered information. Results show that food and gardening waste generation was predominant, with 149 kg/day, corresponding to 37% of all solid waste. Good practices for reuse and recycle of paper, cardboard, metals and compostable food waste were identified. Per capita solid waste generation in campus was estimated at 0,052 kg/person/day for the year 2012. Statistical analysis was performed by a multivariable information description, resulting in a model that fitted to 85,9% of the data, which adjusted well to the assumed statistical parameters.
