Influencia de la gestión (directa o indirecta) en el rendimiento de los puntos limpios de recogida de residuos sólidos urbanos

Abstract

The problem of urban solid waste (MSW) in urban areas grows to the extent that it is intended to give better management to each and every one of its fractions. A further effort to improve the environmental situation and provide a better service to citizens is the implementation of clean points (CCPP) in cities. The CCPP are facilities that allow citizens to properly dispose of those waste that remain outside the municipal selective collection channels, avoiding the possible appearance of uncontrolled landfills and thereby facilitating subsequent reuse, recycling and recovery operations. This paper presents the results of the analysis of the influence of the type of management of these facilities, differentiating between direct municipal management or concessional or service management carried out by private contracted companies, in their performance. Thus, the effect of the chosen management system is deepened through two variables, the collection rate (kg / hab-year) and the number of visits in a year. To carry out the work, a survey has been carried out on a significant number of populations throughout Spain.
