c. To adopt the best environmental practice in ecological waste management to ensure
the proper segregation, collection, transport, storage, treatment and disposal of solid

 Collection – Transfer – Disposal

Collection is to be scheduled at the pilot Purok/Sitio, were only residuals are to

be collected. Separate schedules for Biodegradable and Non – Biodegradable.PST: 0

The solid waste are to be deposited at the Barangay dumpsite MRF, where the
biodegradable are to be composted while the residuals and plastic are sorted out to be
used for other possible products.

Waste Reduction (Re-use, Recycling, Composting)

The plan for waste reduction is to enforce the segregation of solid waste at
source. This will be done after a series of information campaigns had been informed
and educated about the waste characterization.

An MRF (Material Recovery Facility) has been established at the

Barangay dumpsite and has been rehabilitated to accommodate the residuals, mostly
plastic collected from the pilot and from every Purok/Sitio.
