Análisis de los costos del servicio de recolección de desechos sólidos, y su repercusión en los ingresos propios del GAD de Portoviejo. Período 2015-2018.

Abstract

The collection of solid waste becomes a basic service that must be carried out within its management by any municipality, much more when the regulations empower and oblige it to perform it. From the execution of this function a great amount of costs are generated, among those those that have to do with personnel that directly works in the collection, various supplies, and even of administrative personnel that develop support processes. The generation of costs, therefore, requires the generation of own revenue from the municipality, or in any case from a public company that is legally authorized, and has the power to administer this basic service. In the case of Portoviejo, who exercises the functions of solid waste collection is a department that is immersed within its organizational structure; and the costs incurred within its management, are partially covered by charging a fee, which constitutes a percentage between 10 and 15% of the user's electricity consumption. The above is not considered by the current literature around the subject, as well as by users as a fair and equitable modality, more than anything by a series of flaws that the CNEL has at a corporate level, such as the high level of theft and delinquency Present in your commercial management. Additionally, the proceeds from this rate do not provide the budgetary stability of the case, and there are continually deficits that cause the Portoviejo GAD to assume the same, which evidences the lack of implementation of strategies such as the search for extra income from give added value to organic waste (compost), as well as structuring the rate to be charged, based on the volume of solid waste generated by each family or sector
