Title: Final disposal sites in Leon, Guanajuato: a narrative of progress and pending subjects
Los sitios de disposición final: una narrativa de los avances y las asignaturas pendientes en León, Guanajuato
Publisher: Universidad de Guadalajara
Description: Economic growth, population growth, consumer culture and the absence of environmental education are factors that directly affect the increase in the volume of urban solid waste (msw) generated in cities. This dynamic represents a strong pressure for the municipalities, which, with scarce resources, they try to manage. The final disposal of msw, which is the center of interest of this proposal, constitutes the final process in the Integral Management of Solid Urban Waste, which is essential to avoid affecting health of the population and the environment. Therefore, the objective defined here was to determine the current condition of the final disposal sites (sdf) of msw in the third municipality with the largest population in Mexico: Leon, Guanajuato. Through qualitative research, which consisted of in-depth interviews with those responsible for managing the two sdf “El Verde” and “La Reserva,” it was possible to identify the progress made in the first, but also the pending subjects in the second, which can be complexly addressed, since it depends on political will and budgetary flexibility to harmonize in Leon a final provision in accordance with the regulations. 
   El crecimiento económico, el incremento poblacional, la cultura del consumo y la ausencia de la educación ambiental son factores que inciden directamente en el aumento del volumen de residuos sólidos urbanos (rsu) generados en las ciudades. Esta dinámica representa para los municipios una fuerte presión que, con escasos recursos, tratan de gestionar. La disposición final de los rsu, que es el centro de interés de esta propuesta, constituye el proceso último en la gestión integral de residuos sólidos urbanos, la cual es esencial para evitar afectaciones a la salud de la población y al medio ambiente. Por consiguiente, el objetivo definido aquí consistió en determinar la condición actual que guardan los sitios de disposición final (sdf) de rsu en el tercer municipio con mayor población en México: León, Guanajuato.
