La generación de residuos sólidos urbanos es una consecuencia de la realización de las diferentes actividades humanas que se desarrollan de manera cotidiana en un municipio. Del adecuado manejo y disposición que se realice de estos residuos depende la magnitud del impacto ambiental local o incluso regional que se genere. En este estudio se diseñó un experimento que permitió hacerle seguimiento, durante seis meses, a variables relacionadas con la descomposición y estabilización de los residuos sólidos urbanos. Un factor relevante en la degradación del material orgánico es la exposición a la precipitación; por esta razón se trabajó en dos experimentos con las mismas condiciones de conformación, pero uno sujeto a la incidencia de la lluvia y otro protegido de ella. Para este caso se pudo apreciar que los fenómenos de degradación de la materia orgánica se relacionan con las condiciones ambientales, específicamente con la precipitación a la cual queda expuesta la celda. Pero ésta no es la única variable que condiciona el proceso.
Abstract: The urban solid wastes generation is a consequence of the human beings’ different activities carried out daily in a municipality. The magnitude of the environmental impact generated is local or regional, depending on how the waste management and disposal are carried out. An experiment was designed in order to study, during six months, variables related to the decomposition and stabilization of the urban solid wastes, some of them dealing with the waste and others with the leachate. From the beginning of the experimentation it was specified that there is an outstanding factor in the observed waste, and it is the exposal to rainfall. Therefore, two experiments with the same conformation conditions, but one subjected to the rain incidence, and other protected by a cover were carried out.
