The objective of this research was to characterize the waste generated in the Manabí Provincial Electoral Delegation (DPEM) and to quantify of Urban Solid Waste (MSW). Characterization tables were used for the classification of MSW products. A questionnaire was applied to 30 officials from the different areas of the institution. The characterization period was one month. The total figure of MSW generated during this time was 59,762 kg per month between recyclable waste and waste. The products consisted mainly of Paper in 19.40 kg and Cardboard of 6.90 kg, plastic bottles 3.42 kg, glass bottles 3.70 kg, metal in 1.84 kg, plastics in 1.90 kg and other waste in 22,602 kg. Solid waste is not properly classified, so it is concluded that it is necessary to implement a solid waste management program in the institution.
Keywords: classification of solid waste, quantification of waste, solid waste management.
