Abstract (Spanish)

Se debe evaluar la gestion actual de los desechos solidos para verificar si las empresas constructoras reutilizan, reciclan y disponen adecuadamente de los desechos. Mediante investigacion de campo se evaloa la generacion, almacenamiento, recoleccion, tratamiento y disposicion final de los desechos solidos de construccion en diferentes tipos de empresas. Se concluye, que, las empresas constructoras en nuestro pais no realizan una gestion adecuada de los desechos solidos. Mientras no se les exija en las especificaciones tecnicas o en el cartel de licitacion como deben de disponer de los desechos, seguiron manejando inadecuadamente los residuos, impactando el medio de una manera irracional. Se recomiendan las medidas de mitigacion al problema de la mala gestion de los desechos y se plantean los lineamientos necesarios para implementar en los carteles de licitacion la adecuada gestion de los desechos solidos.
