In practice, there are many unknown aspects to design a model for the use of organic solid waste in the city of Bogotá; Technical, financial, environmental and social aspects are necessary to obtain a sustainable use model that involves trade recyclers organizations picker organizations.For this research, a theoretical model was proposed using secondary information sources and international reference experiences.Also shown at level of Latin America, studies that have been conducted on composting and other applications that can be given to solid organic waste.Based on the model, a series of strategies were generated so that recyclers by trade could access and take advantage of organic waste produced in homes and other generators.One of the strategies consisted of generating a comprehensive management plan for organic solid waste that included: generation of organic waste, separation at the source, collection, transport and use with composting and vermiculture systems.With these tools was carried out a pilot test of the model in operation, in a vulnerable area adjacent to the city landfill.There, the model was applied with an organization of waste pickers and 200 houses in four neighborhoods.The waste separated at the source by the 200 houses were characterized, collected and transported by the recyclers' organization to a treatment plant where they were transformed through composting and vermiculture processes into organic compost and vermicompost fertilizers.In the follow-up process, the response of both the recyclers and the 200 families to the model in operation was evaluated.
