Population growth and societal development have significantly increased waste generation, whose accumulation in landfills causes environmental impacts and health risks for nearby populations. In this study, samples of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (FORSU) were collected in five markets in different cantons of the province of Manabí, considering different time periods. Subsequently, physicochemical characterization was performed through proximal analysis and determination of the gross calorific value, complemented by statistical analysis to evaluate the influence of seasonality and geographical location on its properties. The results obtained allow criteria to be established to define the possible uses of FORSU and its potential for energy recovery through thermochemical conversion processes.
