The total solid waste generated in coastal area of Barangay 10, 8.66 kg a day is
biodegradable waste and yard waste was the most generated. A 9.09 kg of recyclable materials
was generated that should be recover and can be processed to anything that is useful. 21.89 kg is
residual waste and the highest average of 0.53 kg a day is the special waste. Then the total solid
waste generated in coastal area of Barangay 4, 11.73 kg a day is biodegradable waste and yard
waste was the most generated. A 9.85 kg of recyclable materials was generated that should be

recover and can be processed to anything that is useful. 18.74 kg is residual waste and the
highest average of 0.93 kg a day is the special waste. While the total solid waste generated in
coastal area of Barangay Navotas, 13.52 kg a day is biodegradable waste and just like from other
Barangay, yard waste was the most generated. For recyclable materials with an average weight
of 14.75 kg that can be processed for another purpose and should be recover. In residual waste,
Barangay Navotas got an average weight of 17.84 kg and special waste with an average weight
of 0.89 kg.
The researchers found out the condition of the existing Solid waste management system
in coastal area of three barangays in Balayan, Batangas that come up with a proposed action plan
to improve the system of each barangay regarding their solid waste management. The proposed
solid waste management plan is to prevent or reduce waste generation and its harmfulness, and
secondly to recover waste by means of recycling, re-use or reclamation or any other process with
a view to extracting secondary raw materials. The local government of Balayan, Batangas should
ensure that waste is recovered or disposed of without risking the human health and without using
processes or methods which could harm the environment. They shall also take the necessary
coastal area.
Conclusion
From the responses in the survey questionnaire to determine the solid waste practices in
coastal area of three barangays in Balayan, Batangas, the researchers concluded that:

2. The residents of three barangays do not practice segregation so that the collectors
didn’t collect their waste resulting into pile of garbage along the collection area.
3. The coastal area of three barangays are those area that do not receive collecting
services that’s why residents often practice dumping of waste, open burning and pit
method.
4. The MRF of the three barangays are not properly used, it serves as a big garbage can
Poblacion area and other barangays but collecting of waste every day is not properly
6. Open dumping and open burning were widely practiced in the coastal area. Most of
the residents create their own compost pit. Disposed wastes in compost pit are not
Based on the WACS conducted by the researcher’s large amount of waste generated in
the coastal area of three barangays in Balayan, Batangas. In barangay 10, (22%) is biodegradable
waste, (23%) is recyclable waste and residual waste has the highest percentage (53%) among
other classification. While, special waste has the lowest percentage (1%). In barangay 4, (29%) is
biodegradable waste, (24%) is recyclable and residual waste has the highest percentage (45%)
among other classification. While, special waste has the lowest percentage (2%). In barangay
Navotas, (29%) is biodegradable waste, (31%) is recyclable waste and residual waste has the
highest percentage (38%) among other classification. While, special waste has the lowest
percentage (2%).

In the proposed action plan, segregation of waste in the municipality is the most
individual attitude and behavioural change .Segregation is most efficient when it is done at
source. Least cost is involved, safer, and when done by waste generators themselves, waste
diversion is most likely sustained. The action plan is proposed by the researchers is aligned to the
Recommendation
The following recommendations are made after the analysis of findings and conclusions.
Diversion of waste should be practice in the area to lessen the generated amount
about the proper handling of waste to enhance the education and information
campaigns on what could be the harmful effects of the improper handling and
greater opportunity for the people to participate and contributes in maintaining the
The Barangay more specifically the coastal area should prepare environmental
projects that will encourage the locals to participate and cooperate on the SWMP.
The barangay should provide trash bins to the residents to practice segregation.
