Abstract

The general objective of this research was to determine the production of organic fertilizer from the segregation of municipal solid waste in the district of Julcan, La Libertad in the year 2020-2021. The type of methodology is retrospective and has a longitudinal design approach. Likewise, we worked with the data reported by the Provincial Municipality of Julcan regarding its monthly production of solid waste. In addition, production data from the municipal solid waste characterization study was considered. Data was collected and recorded using the monthly compost production record card. The results show that the waste produced is divided into: non-usable (20.94%), inorga nic (21.61%) and organic (57.35%). From the use of the latter, it was obtained that the district has an average monthly production of 1.3 tons of compost. This production gives rise to different applications in improvement projects such as reforestation and agriculture. Finally, a proposal was formulated for a valorization plant based on the production of waste generated in the district of Julcan. In short, the purpose of this proposal is to improve the management and valorization of the so lid waste produced.
