SOLID WASTE MANAGMENT

BACKGROUND IN SANTIAGO

DE CALI

There is a PGIRS

“In accordance with the established National decree 1713 de 2002 and the Nacional Resolution 1045 of 2003 the Comprehensive Management Plan is the element of planning for the public service of waste and has a horizon of 15 years.”.

Source separation/collection policy

History with CCAC

• February 2013 – CCAP worked with Cali to develop our City Assessment

and Action Plan. The help from CCAC came at a perfect time since Cali was

currently designing a Source separation/collection policy. This policy has a

huge social benefit aspect, but now with the support of CCAC we can also

focus on the environmental benefits, in particular, reductions in Short Lived

Climate Pollutants (SLCPs).

• March 2013 – Cali’s participation in the Vancouver Global Methane

Initiative Expo, as well as the CCAC meeting on the sidelines.

• April-September 2013 –

• Carrying out initial studies such as a census of informal recyclers

• Developing city plans, coordinating with relevant city entities and

attempting to gather funds from diverse sources

• Designing a work plan for CCAC support that would integrate with the

city’s goals, as well as have a direct impact on SLCP reductions.

• October- April 2014 – Implementation of CCAC work plan, feasibility

studies, and integration of CCAC work into Cali’s plans.

Work Plan Elements

• Cali has a Technical Committee: Municipal Planning Department,

Environmental Authorities (DAGMA, CVC), Emsirva ESP, EL.

Implementation of Solid Waste Policies.

• RECYCLABLES: Selective Routes. Including the Waste Pickers.

• OTHER WASTE: Normal Waste Collection Routes, taken into a Mechanical-

biological treatment (MBT) facility (CCAP NAMA* Project: Pilot City to

built a MBT facility to be built in coming years.

• LARGE GENERATORS OF ORGANIC WASTE: Green waste, market

waste, restaurant and hotel food waste, etc. Separate collection collected by

formalized recyclers to be taken into the MBT facility or the organic plant.

(NAMA)

*Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action

CCAC Support

I. Development of an analytical model to assess the following for solid

waste (both dry recyclables and organic waste from households and

large generators).

a) Quantification of GHG reductions, social impact, and economic

benefits

II. Design of source separation & collection for large generators of

organic waste.

a) Mapping of large generators of organic waste

b) Logistics of pickup, revenue opportunities

III. Market study for compost produced in Cali (both high and low quality

compost).

a) Identification of potential buyers, analysis of current demand and

supply

Methane emissions will be decreased drastically with this policy by

the following:

•Diversion from landfill of paper and cardboard generated from

households

•Diversion from landfill of organic waste from large generators and in a

later phase, from households.

Significant CO2 reductions will also be achieved through the

following:

•Less transport of waste to the landfill (located 62 km outside of Cali)

•Increased recycling rates that reincorporate materials for productive

purposes and displace virgin materials.

Impact of CCAC

• Currently Cali focuses on final disposal in Colomba – Guabal

landfill.

• The waste collection transport and disposal tariff has increased

due to the long distance that must be covered which is

approximately 40 km.

• The CRA (Commission for the regulation of utility services) is

developing the tariff studies and Cali’s case is not being

considered.

• Technical and financial: the municipality does not have

resources to support technical decisions for the implementation

of integrated waste management systems.

• Social and awareness: The municipality has developed different

activities which focus on separation at source, nevertheless the

informal recyclers situation has made progress slow.

Challenges

Next Steps

I. Preliminary research and model structure

II. Identify consultants

III.Develop terms of reference (TOR)

IV. First visit of CCAP, October 21-23th

a) Meetings with Cali Waste Committee

b) Finalize consultant contract/TOR with consultants
