INTRODUCTION
The activities and actions to manage waste from its final disposal is the waste
management process, this includes amongst other things, the collection, transportation
and disposal of garbage, sewage and other products.Too much waste in the wrong
place and at the wrong time can cause change in the environment and harm to animals,
plants and human to human life. The careful management of waste can limit the
damage done to the environment and can conserve source of resources, constant
correct practice of waste segregation is one of the best way in preventing diseases and
promoting the healthy life and environment.
As a concern of the locality, especially in the barangay of Amontay, Marihatag
Surigao Del Sur, they are really need to be acquainted with the practice of how waste
are being disposed especially to the area of the said barangay is in an improper doings
of throwing their waste, which are considered hazardous and infections to the residents.
According to (Rosette Estal Mercado, 2010), Waste segregation at the household level
is not widely practiced and waste recycling is minimal. Past efforts to promote waste
segregation at source were failed despite the issuance of Municipal Ordinance providing
sanctions and penalties for non-compliances. Some reasons that have been cited for
non-compliance included in difference of local residents to participate in community
waste management related activities, Local government collected services, residents’
attitudes that the government has the sole responsibility over garbage management and
lack of information and education campaigns.

In technical note, the term ‘solid waste’ is used to include all non-liquid wastes
generated by human activity and a range of solid waste material resulting from the
disaster, such as general domestic garbage such as food waste, ash and packaging
materials; human feces disposed of in garbage; emergency waste such as plastic water
bottles and packaging from other emergency supplies; rubble resulting from the
disaster; mud and slurry deposited by the natural disaster; and Allen tress and rocks
obstructing transport and communications. This problem is associated with the local
governments which is responsible for collecting reusable, recyclable and non-
biodegradable waste materials from the material recovery facilities; and transporting
them to the recycling centers and or to the municipal material recovery facility.
Collection of segregated solid waste is schedule per barangay.
In this paper, the discussion focuses on the problem on Barangay on how they
are collecting those segregated and unsegregated waste according to the proper
segregation of waste material, all residents in the said barangay, has need to be
educate as the only way of preventing a possible effects of doing an improper waste
disposal, each of these should be practice to reduce the amount headed for final
disposal. They are in order of importance: Reduce, the best way to manage solid waste.
Don’t create waste in the first place! Buy only what you need to avoid wasting money
and minimizing waste. Reuse some other things that should be reusable, it is a better
way to manage solid waste, Recycling waste materials making it into something new, is
a way of minimizing waste materials, all residents who live in a single family home can
recycle right in front of their house by having a sacks, or anything’s that could be
enough to stored waste inside.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study aims to contribute better understanding of household waste
management of the residents at Barangay Amontay purok 1, Marihatag Surigao Del Sur
by examining the waste management practices and its perception, behaviour and
attitudes towards waste management.
Specifically, this study aims to answer the following question:
1) What is the profile of respondents in Brgy. Amontay,Marihatag Surigao
Del Sur in terms of:
1.1 Gender;
1.2 Age;
1.3 Educational Attainment;
1.4 Occupation; and
1.5 Number of children.
2) What is the level of implementation of the respondent of waste
management practices in Brgy. Amontay. Marihatag Surigao Del Sur in
terms of:
2.1 Sanitation
2.2 Social Responsibility
2.3 Classification of the household waste

3) How to analyse the status of waste management practices of the resident
of Brgy. Amontay, Marihatag Surigao Del Sur in terms of:
3.1 Waste Disposal;
3.2 Waste segregation;
3.3 River clean up
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
This study is anchored on the concept that everybody is deemed to care for the
earth as an illustration of responsibility and stewardship. One the major global
challenges now that the earth is facing are the environmental challenges that could be
resolved in each individual and organization slightly change their habits and practices.
The key of achieving this is the education providing the knowledge and desire for
change to happen. A truly sustainable society will only be created when caring the
environment becomes second nature to us.
The Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (RA 9003) passed in
January 2000 was enacted largely is response to the growing scarcity of disposal sites,
which resulted in the garbage crisis I the region. The law emphasizes solid waste
avoidance and volume reduction through source reduction and waste minimization
measures, with protection of the public health and environment as the primary goal. The
four provisions of the law that are for interest to the present study are listed below.
The law creates solid waste management bodies at the national, provincial, city
and municipal levels that will ensure its proper implementation. The National Solid
Waste Management Commission (NSWMC) is mandated to prepare the national
framework subsequently; solid waste management plans based on the national
framework will be prepared at the local level. Another important task of (NSWMC) is to
prove and monitor the implementation of local solid waste management plans. Solid
waste management plan will be prepared at the provincial level or the basis of plans
prepared at the city and municipal levels.
Solid waste management activities will continue to be fully finance by the LGU in
accordance with the national policy of zero Non-Government/Local Government Units
(NG-LGU) cost sharing on the financing of LGU activities in the brown sector, including
solid waste management under the law, however the LGUs are authorized to collect
solid waste management fees for its services. In determining the fees, costs directly
related to the adoption and implementation of the plan and the setting and collection of
local fees will be considered. The fees shall be based on the following minimum factors:
(a) type of solid waste; (b) amount/volume of waste; and (c) distance of the transfer to
the waste management facility.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This Study will serve as a significant purpose perceived to have great importance
for the following.
Community. This study will enlighten for everybody that the wrongful aspects regarding
improper segregation of waste that need to have a good waste management, and in
proper disposal of any materials treated as waste, such as plastics, cellophanes, metals
chemicals, food waste, and discharging of human feces along the creek and river side
and also throwing waste anywhere in the public places, which is wrong practice of
individual. Encourage and promoting restoration activities as a concern citizens of the
certain community.
Residence. This study awaken for every residence in the respective Barangay of
porkMonday, MarinatingSurgeon Del Sur, that needs for controlling, minimizing the
improper segregation according to the waste management, towards the community,
protection, conversation and advocating the materials able to Reduce, Reuse, and
Recycling, as to reserve the resources.
LGU OFFICIALS. One of the main concerns of the Local Government Officials is the
natural resources, especially for the resourceful of materials. This study will enlighten
them to promote the formulation of waste management, protection and conservation to
sustainable resources.
Department of Health. One of the main concerns is the health of the people. This study
may guide them in the proper education of the people about the health risk when
resorting to wrong waste disposal.

School. Organized groups have a tremendous opportunity to operate waste reduction
programs. School related groups might include science classes and environment club in
their academic programs to further strengthen waste management awareness.
Future Research. This study will serve as guide to formulate the solution from the
waste management, and for collecting the facts, gathering data for maybe useful for the
future researchers.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Related Literature
LOCAL
There’s always been a problem of trash from man’s earliest time. Human are, by
very nature, careless with their trash as they let it fall where it may (Barbalace, 2003).
But the problem of waste usually reaches to an alarming level when population
becomes concentrated in larger towns and cities. It draws attention to the task of
education today. Nowadays, waste segregation is one of the major problems of our
country. A lot of programs where been implemented to diminish the problem on waste,
still this dilemma won’t able to solve because of the continuous growing of population on
town. There are lots of solid waste management campaigns done by the different
barangay officials including the Municipal office but until today this problem is still a
problem. In order to educate the community on proper waste management, television,
radio, internet and newspaper where used as a channel of information dissemination
but the netizens ignored it. With the different disasters and calamities happened in our
community this becomes the reflection on what people done in the environment. But
still, people are hard headed; they are not segregated their waste and the worst is they
just threw their waste anywhere. Also, because of this dilemma and personalities of the
community the act on solid waste management is neglected (Sarah Og-oget, 2014).
As the homes are piled up with garbage or “junk” because of beverage
containers, tableware, papers, plastics, sporting goods and on and on this throwaways
did not just go into the dump but also they litter it in public places. Not only household
but also firm that contribute to waste. This is just one of the problem in the Philippines.
Much has been written about the problems of junk in Manila and other urban areas in
our country. Junks or garbage is thrown on the river causes clogging and also leads to
contamination of the water. These materials that are also thrown in public places are not
pleasing to the eyes and not only that it emits bad odors because it contains air
pollutants. Many people are not aware of what will be the future effects of this pollutant
in our society. This is why government officials implemented the Republic Act 9003
(Ecological Solid Waste Management of 2011).
The waste management act, in 2000, Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid
Waste Management Act was enacted to provide a framework for managing the growing
problem of solid waste in the country. Furthermore, the Republic Act 9003 gives prime
importance to the roles of Local Government Units (LGU’s) in managing their respective
solid wastes. Moreover, the aim of this act is to ensure the protection of public health
and the environment and to utilize environmentally-sound methods that maximize the
utilization of valuable resources. It includes the practice of reduce, reuse, recycle. In
addition, the aim of this act is to ensure the proper segregation, collection, transport,
storage, treatment and disposal of solid waste through the formulation and adoption of
the best environment practice in ecological waste management excluding incineration.
(Republic Act 9003 Ecological Waste Management LawPhil Project Arrelano Law
Foundation 2011).
The experiences and practices of household waste management of people in a
barangay (village) in Manila, Philippines are documented. The data gathered through an
interview with household members using open-ended questions. Interviews were also
conducted with garbage as well as scavengers. Results showed that the households
generated an average of 3.2 kg of solid waste per day, or 0.50 kg/capital/day. The types
of waste community generated are food/kitchen wastes, papers, PET bottles, metals,
and cans, boxes/cartons, glass bottles, cellophane/plastics, and yard/garden wastes.
The respondents segregate their wastes into PET bottles, glass bottles, and other waste
(mixed wastes). NO respondents perform composting. It is worth noting, however, that
burning of waste is not done by the respondents. However, there are those who dump
their garbage in non-designated pick-up points, usually in a corner of the street. The
dumped garbage becomes a breeding ground for disease-causing organisms. Some
household respondents said that it is possible that the dumping in certain areas caused
the dengue fever suffered by some of their family members. Mothers and household
helpers are responsible for household waste management.

Patan city is one of the oldest city of Kathmandu Valley Old settlements in these
areas of Patan were originally developed in such a way that there are many courtyards
and Sagals (semi private garbage dumping areas provided for waste accumulation in
traditional settlement). The attractive architecture of inner courtyard is the social feature
of the traditional settlement pattern of Kathmandu Valley. Slowly, the decline of the
social structure was followed by its physical decay. They turned into private dumping
sites. Eventually the sagal system was developed to dump the waste and produce
compost fertilizer therein. In the past, the composition of waste were mostly
organic( about 90% ) consisting kitchen wastes, crop wastes, cattle dung. Organic
matters were observed within the natural process of decomposition or served as an
animal feed. Therefore traditional Nepales did not consider waste as a social problem
and the waste handling and disposal were organised through the natural and social
system. (http://www.globenet.org/preceup/pages/ang/chapitre/capitali/cas/nepal_b.htm).
According to World Bank (2004) in some countries, the poorest segments of the
elderly population (mainly abandoned single elderly) collect food from waste bins, thus
facing serious health risks. In others situations (e.g., in Mongolia) there are many elderly
individuals who collect recyclable items (cans and bottles) for cash. For many of them,
collecting waste is the main source of income. The livelihoods of solid waste collectors
at Harar city depend on the cash they generate through the collection.
The Patan programme emphasized on the involvement of the community based
organization in SWM and work collaboration with the ward committee and the
municipality. The result is that municipality collects and transports the solid waste from
the area every alternate day effectively. On top of that the community member clean up
the entire public area in their neighbourhood every Sunday on voluntary basis and helps
the municipality to collect and transport the solid waste. Besides this, to discourage
people to defecate along the street and on open spaces of the community, people were
encouraged to construct toilet by providing subsidy to those households which do not
have toilets. It is the self-help group members who raise awareness among the
residents to keep their area clean and to dispose their garbage’s only when the
municipality, tractor arrives. Huge amount of garbage’s from Sagals were cleaned up
and sagals were rehabilitated. There were many houses without toilets and members of
those houses used to defecate in the open spaces of the community therefore 41
private toilets were constructed. Sagals have been rehabilitated and voluntarily waste
collection, street cleaning has been conducted in a regular basis.
Traditional Street cleaning equipment includes shorthanded broom and bamboo
baskets as waste carries. Transportation of waste is done by sweepers, carrying the
baskets on their shoulders. This method of carrying wastes is traditional, inefficient and
unhygienic and time consuming. With increasing size of cities, traditional means of
waste transport are not sufficient any more but at some places this method is still
practiced by sweepers. According to Social Assessment for Tehran City Solid Waste
Management Project (2004) Community and institutional characteristics are as
important as household characteristics in determining the role of stakeholders in
MSWM. Often the poorest communities, such as those that are of low caste or ethnic
status, and those that are new immigrants of urban peripheries, are either excluded
from MSWM services or may be adversely impacted.

Thousands of years ago humans simply dug a hole and buried their refuse and
waste. This was an effective technique for these early people because their population
was relatively small and they did not produce waste on the same scale or with the levels
of complexity that modern humans do. Burying the rubbish helped to prevent bugs and
rodents from becoming a nuisance and spreading diseases (Dee Mohammad 2016).
And he added “that in the modern world burying all of our rubbish is not a sustainable
solution. While primitive humans produced very little waste, and that which was
produced would biodegrade quickly, modern humans produced much larger amounts of
waste, much of which is not biodegradable. Additionally, many types of waste may be
damaging to the soil, ground water and surrounding habitat.
Scavengers generally look for recyclable items in the dumped garbage. All of
them said that it is their only source of income, which is generally not enough for their
meals. Most of the respondents said that garbage collection and disposal is the
responsibility of the government. The results of the study showed that RA 9003, ALSO
KNOWN AS THE Ecological Solid Waste Management Act 2000, is not fully
implemented in Metro Manila (Bernardo, 2008).
The Motion town government in Samar has vowed to intensify the
implementation of its Solid Waste Management Program after barangay chairmen here
took at one-day seminar-workshop on the program. This activity was held at the
Legislative Building here last Wednesday, August 29. Motiong Mayor Francisco M.
Langi Sr. said 30 barangay chairmen of his municipality attended said seminar-
workshop sponsored by the town government conducted Municipal Planning and
Development Officer, Engr. Nicasio Permejio Langi said all the barangay chairmen were
educated on the provisions of the Solid Waste Management Act of 2003 so that they
would be acquainted with and help implemented the law in their respective barangays
and propagate environmental preservation.
The town government will strictly implement the “no segregation, no collection
policy” in all of Motiong’s barangays and urged the barangays officials to put up a
Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) where they can segregate bio-degradable and non-
biodegradable waste materials. Such materials can be turned into a livelihood as,
according to Langi, “there is money in junk” (Abrematea).

Nowadays, due to urbanization and industrialization purposes of wastes has
been change. Wastes consist of inert materials, kitchen garbage’s, glasses and other
non-decomposable products. With the introduction of chemical fertilizer old practices of
accumulating and converting manure into frertilizer is no longer continued. Farmland
has also been occupied by new buildings and farming occupation is in diminishing stage
but habit of piling up household wastes in sagals continued. This process further
expanded garbage accumulation from sagals to courtyards. Due to this sagals and
courtyards in the settlement contained huge amount of solid wastes, since many years.
Consequently, Sagals and courtyards started to the breeding grounds for the
pathogenic agents. The sewerage system and manholes in the courtyards didn’t
operate anymore and the conditions in and around the courtyards became evidently
harmful posing a threat to the health of the courtyard dwellers.

Caste system in the society led to division of work among the different caste
group. Traditionally waste picking was the only task of “Podey” Sweeper class and were
accepted by only a few social groips. They were more often looked down by the society
for doing this type of job. With the change of time, people are changing this attitude and
people from the other caste group have also started performing waste handling
activities. Nowadays in general, communities reflect wide spread concern for the
environmental pollution of the area. The survey conducted by Kathmandu Regulatory
Study Team, found a big gap in the environmental knowledge and practices between
the old settlements and new settlements. It states that residents of old settlements are
found to be more concerned about their community than the new one
http://www.globenet.org/preceup/pages/ang/chapitre/capital/cas/nepal_b.htm.
Dump sites may be located near the most vulnerable communities, thus
subjecting them to health problems. This is quite true to Harar City. Their voices may
not be strong enough within the urban political structure to affect positive changes in
their environmental status. The said project of Tehran further demonstrated that a
thorough assessment of socio-economic, demographic and migratory characteristics of
the project population was an important analytical tool that helped formulate
recommendations for the improvement of the MSWS in the city. These improvements
were directly derived from the findings of the SA.https:/www.ukessays/environmental-
sciences/literature-review-of-solid-waste-management-environmental-sciences-
essay.php.
The public at large is affected by poor MSWM practices are responsible for
drinking water mix-up with sewerage. Similarly, while the exposure of communities
closer to the dump sites is higher, there are broader public risks associated with air
pollution as well. SAs that clearly show the relationship of residential proximity to
landfills and health problems have yet to be produced. Nonetheless, a study in South-
eastern Turkey indicates that there may be a close relationship (Bernstein 1999),
particularly for the poor. The residents say that there are a lot of diseases because they
have to live close to the landfill. “Our children are playing with syringes and bottles.
They are dirty. Our children are sick, and there is no doctor. We don’t have money. We
suffer from the waste.
