This work was done with the purpose of having specific information that allowed to know the characteristics and amount of Solid Residues (RS) that are generated in the municipality of Turbaco in Colombia and that are disposed in the landfill of the "Environmental Park Loma de los Cocos ". Among the results obtained was the generation of 63.5 Ton / day of RS (0.53 kg/hab/day). The percentage of organic matter or biomass corresponded to 58.34% and 27.22% to recoverable materials that are not currently separated before entering the landfill process. The results indicated that it is feasible to use plastics, paper and paperboard, aluminum, glass and ferrous and non-ferrous materials. To this end, it is suggested to implement a separation system at the source and a material recovery and transformation plant. This management system would divert up to 27.22% of the RS generated to economic potential equivalent to $ 229,969,452 per year, which would imply an opportunity for the creation of microenterprises to generate formal employment and a significant extension of the life of the landfill. On the other hand it would contribute to the reduction of the pollutant emissions generated by the landfill and would facilitate the better homogenization of the compost of the organic residues for the regeneration and conservation of cultivated soils in the region. In addition, Resolution 0754 of 2014, which adopts the methodology for the formulation, implementation, evaluation, monitoring, control and updating of the Comprehensive Solid Residues Management Plans (PGIRS) in Colombia, would be implemened.
