CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM

Introduction
The challenge with effective garbage disposal is the situation we decided to focus on for our

theme. A number of illnesses, particularly respiratory illnesses like asthma, bronchitis, and

emphysema, can be brought on by this kind of garbage disposal. In addition to being hazardous,

burning rubbish can also hurt animals and spread fire, which can burn adjacent trees, wooden

structures, and other things if it is not carefully controlled. Because burning trash causes air

pollution and releases greenhouse gases, this method of disposal significantly contributes to the

phenomenon of global warming.

The problems that are currently plaguing the entire world need to be dealt with since they

contribute to climate change and global warming, which could endanger current and future

generations of people. The global issue of air and land pollution is one of the project's connected

problems. If we don't have healthy soil that can be used for planting plants or trees because of

chemicals that have already killed the fertility of the soil due to the harmful chemicals that come

from the garbage's, the world will suffer from land pollution. In where the problems in air

pollution are burning trashes that can results in releasing too much greenhouse gases in the air

that can easily destroy the layers of the atmosphere, the second is the problem in land pollution.

The residents in the community will suffer in terms of their principal source of income, which is

farming, as a result of these two associated issues that may occur in Macasandig National High
School. Because too much heat from the plants would be concentrated in the atmosphere if it

were completely destroyed, the grains or plants that farmers were cultivating would simply

perish. Farmers in the area will have difficulty growing their crops if there is no live soil or rich

soil available because the soil has been damaged by hazardous chemicals, which makes it

impossible to plant new seeds. Our study's major goal is to ensure that the community in

Macasandig National High School will retain cleanliness by teaching the school how to properly

dispose of its waste, finding other methods of doing so, and how to discover alternative methods

of doing so.

This study mainly focuses on how community members' practices can have a significant

impact on both their health and our nature. With the compost pit and shredder in our proposed

project, the school's carbon footprint and smoke pollution will be reduced. This is to ensure that

the neighborhood will stop burning trash in open fires. The project's specific goals are to

improve the school's cleanliness and orderliness, raise residents' awareness of environmental

issues, provide a compost pit to address the issue of uncollected waste, improve proper waste

disposal and segregation as a means of preventing the issue of where to put their waste, to

encourage collaboration among Macasandig National High School people in order to grow and

improve the community, to instruct the locals on proper garbage disposal and segregation, and to

improve the soil quality in order to benefit their primary source of income, which is farming or

agriculture.

In affluent nations, municipal liquid waste is routed through sewage systems and treated as

wastewater or sewage. This process removes the majority or all of the toxins before wastewater,

or sewage, may reach groundwater aquifers or surface waters like rivers, lakes, estuaries, and

seas. (See wastewater treatment for further information on sewage systems and treatment.
 In most developing countries, the municipal solid waste stream it is means that the use of

incineration is difficult, that the use of composting is necessary. There are also a huge number of

people in the informal sector who are actively involved in waste collection, separation, and

recycling. There is often a shortage of capital and human resource to manage the waste; and

there is a lack of physical infrastructure in urban areas to make the waste collection more

efficient, and therefore the situation for solutions In the recent study of and it also shows that the

nature of waste varies depending on the income level of the country.

It shows how several factors such as the rapid population growth, urbanization and

modernization have contributed to the increased generation of waste particularly in urban cities;

and how this condition has created various problems both to the environment and the human

health. In addition, it also presents the responses of the government to address the problems

brought about by improper waste management. It reviews the previous policies related to waste

management and some probable reasons or factors that have contributed why it seemed that these

laws have failed to address the various problems on waste.

Waste management practices at theschool level which is highly required to improve the

current prac- tices including fnding the prospect of whether proper at source-sorting in school is

feasible to be imple- mented. Tis study provides a case study inconcerning the current senior

high characteristics and awareness of managing school solid waste in They fndings are crucial

for the waste authori- ties in the process of designing and providing an efective and specifc

action plan in the area.
