Technological method of waste collection in the improvement of the maintenance of the beaches of Manabí

Abstract

Waste collection methods are used to mitigate problems of accumulation or contamination caused by sources other than natural ones, whether conscious or unconscious generated by the human species. The pollution of the beaches in the modern era has accentuated a problem worldwide, affecting ecosystems and leaving irreversible consequences in some cases. The purpose of this work is to identify and evaluate the incidence of waste collection methods in the state of the beaches of Manabí. As a methodological technique, it was chosen to carry out field tests to verify the state of the beaches, as well as interviews and observation files as instruments for data collection of the cleaning methods applied. Results: The samples subjected to shaking tests showed considerable signs of contamination, leaving the methods used as inefficient, thus it is verified in parallel in interviews that the waste collection methods used lack technology. Research that detects the problem and the factors that affect the state of the beaches of Manabí, a fact that leaves doors open for the academy, together with technical research, to contribute to the solution of pollution through the generation of new technologies.
