The Metropolitan Area of the Aburrá Valley (AMVA) produced, together with the Metropolitan Resolution 10202-000526, a guide in order to gather and unify the criteria about the formulation and implementation of the solid waste integral management plan (PMIRS, in Spanish) in the companies, institutions, and neighborhoods. Nevertheless, in the process of formulation and implementation of the PMIRS in neighborhoods there are difficulties that in many cases diminish the efficiency of this process. In this work we will expose some of these difficulties.esResiduos sólidosCorporación Universitaria LasallistaÁrea Metropolitana del Valle de AburráPolítica nacional para la gestión integral de los residuos de 1997Resolución 1045 DE 2003Contaminación ambientalGestión de residuos sólidos domiciliariosPlan de manejo integral de residuos sólidos (PMIRS)Article
