Abstract

The correct management of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in any population center is essential to guarantee the quality of life of its inhabitants and the surrounding environment. The study carried out involved the quantification of MSW generated in specific areas of the Juan Pablo II campus of the University of Guanajuato, with the use of two complete recycling stations with primary and secondary labeling, graphically specifying a subclassification with infographic type posters. For 5 weeks we separated and sold the most commercially valuable solids in Celaya, delivering the proceeds to the corresponding university agency, and the lids of the different food containers were donated to an association that supports children with cancer. With the amount obtained, an economic feasibility analysis was carried out using the financial evaluation criteria Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) to know the feasibility in monetary terms; to complement this, the equilibrium point (Q) and the sensitivity analysis were used; trying to exploit the maximum recycling capacity and move to the circular economy.
