| Sumario: | The management of Urban Solid Waste (MSW) in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) is a pressing issue given the official announcement that the CEAMSE's North III Landfill, where household waste from the CABA and 38 suburban municipalities are disposed of, will soon collapse (Infobae, 2018; La Nación, 2018). This situation, together with the environmental liabilities that continue to accumulate in this landfill, and the recyclable natural resources that continue to be buried, invites us to reflect on how we manage our waste and the reasons why.\nThe purpose of this research paper is to analyze the management model carried out by the City Government since the regulation of Law 1.854, called the ?Zero Waste Law?. The study period goes from 2007 to 2018 when the quantitative goals were modified in the text of the Law, together with the deadlines for compliance with the Law by the City´s Legislature.\nConsidering that during that period the goals contemplated in the text of the Law were not met, it is the objective of this paper to interpret this breach by analyzing the characteristics of the developed model and on what concept (sanitarian, environmental, economic, etc.) is sustained, in order to identify relevant factors that contributed to the failure to achieve the stated objectives and consequently the failure to meet goals.\nIn this study, the statements of all regulations and the actual management practices will be examined to establish whether there were contradictions in their implementation that could have contributed to the failure of the application of the Law. In that regard, we will study all regulations applied during the 10 years of the study period, the decisions that were made, the role of the actors involved, the costs of management and their funding source, the role assigned to the street urban recycling collectors and the rest of the city's population.\nThe relevance of this study lies in pointing out the shortcomings of the adopted model to be able to collaborate in the development of an alternative model that could be successful from the economic-financial, territorial, social, cultural and environmental point of view aiming to the integral sustainability of the system. |
