respective 10-year solid waste management plans % SWM
consistent with the 19 National Solid Waste Management plans
Framework: Provided, That the waste management plan approved
shall be for the re-use, recycling and composting of wastes
generated in their respective jurisdictions: Provided,
further, That the solid waste management plan of the LGU
shall ensure the efficient management of solid waste
generated within its jurisdiction. The plan shall place
primary emphasis on implementation of all feasible reuse,
recycling, and composting programs while identifying the 912 for
amount of landfill and transformation capacity that will be evaluation
needed for solid waste which cannot be re- used, recycled, 53.2 and
or composted. The plan shall contain all the components pending
% approval
provided in Section 17 of this Act and a timetable for the
implementation of the solid waste management program in

• Biodegradable waste
• > these are any material that can be reduced into
finer particles by microbiological organisms or
enzymes
• Recyclable waste-
>any waste material that can be retrieved and re-
used as feeds, factory returnable, fuel, fermentables ,
fine crafts and filling materials.
(a)All collectors and other personnel directly dealing with collection of solid
waste shall be equipped with personal protective equipment to protect them
from the hazards of handling wastes;
• (b) Necessary training shall be given to the collectors and personnel to
ensure that the solid wastes are handled properly and in accordance with the
guidelines pursuant to this Act; and
• (c) Collection of solid waste shall be done in a manner which prevents
damage to the container and spillage or scattering of solid waste within
the collection vicinity
• (d)The barangay shall be responsible for ensuring that a 100% collection
efficiency from residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural
sources, where necessary within its area of coverage, is achieved.
TRANSFER of WASTES
• use of separate collection
schedules and/or separate trucks or
haulers shall be required for
specific types of wastes.
Otherwise, vehicles used for the
collection and transport of solid
wastes shall have the appropriate
compartments to facilitate efficient
storing of sorted wastes while in
transit.
MATERIALS RECOVERY FACILTY
• Thereshall be established a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)
in every barangay or cluster of barangays
• The MRF shall receive mixed waste for final sorting, segregation,
composting, and recycling. The resulting residual wastes shall be
transferred to a long term storage or disposal facility or
sanitary landfill.
• Provided, That within three (3) years after the effectivity of this Act, every
LGU shall convert its open dumps into controlled dumps, in accordance
with the guidelines set in Sec. 41 of this Act:
• Burying
• Shall be only for temporary control such as in househods/ camps
• Only biodegradable solid wastes shall be allowed to be buried
• May be practiced provided that refuse deposited in the pit shall not be
less than 1 meter deep covered with soil to prevent excavation of refuse
• The entire disposal area shall be adequate to hold all refuse accepted for
the entire period of time during which it is proposed to operate
• There shall be no dwelling unit closer than 200 meter to any portion of the
premises designated as landfill
• No person shall be permitted to occupy the premises designated as a
disposal area
CATEGORIES OF SANITARY LANDFILLS
>The category of SLF shall be based upon the determination of net residual waste, given
the potential waste generation by LGU, less waste diverted through composting,
recycling, and other recovery methods.
CATEGORY 1: LGU generates a net residual waste of less than or equal to 15
tons per day. If clustered with another LGU
CATEGORY 2: LGU generates a net residual waste of greater than 15 TPD but less
than or equal to 75 TPD
CATEGORY 3: LGU generates a net residual waste of greater than 75 TPD but less
than or equal to 200 TPD
CATEGORY 4 LGU generates net residual waste of greater that 200 TPD
CRITERIA for SITING A SLF
• The site must be accessible from major roadways or thoroughfares;
• The site should have an adequate quantity of earth cover material that
is easily handled and compacted
• The site chosen should facilitate developing a landfill that will satisfy
budgetary constraints, including site development, operation for many
years, closure, post-closure care and possible remediation costs
• The site should be large enough to accommodate the community's wastes
for a period of five (5) years during which people must internalize the value
of environmentally sound and sustainable solid waste disposal;
• The site must be located in an area where the landfill's operation will
not detrimentally affect environmentally sensitive resources such as
aquifer, groundwater reservoir or watershed area;
• “We now have about 186 sanitary
landfills servicing about 407 local
government units (LGUs),” Salazar said,
adding that the number represents
only 25 percent of the total number of
LGUs that need sanitary landfills.

Reimagine
A culture of waste reduction: 2020
• Physically: Look around you: It is clear that recycling and waste reduction is
valued.
• Socially: You hear conversations about recycling and waste reduction. You
have them. People can identify opportunities and act on them. In your
department, there is a local waste diversion expert, though everybody knows the
basics.
• Objectives
– Learn why waste reduction and recycling is
important
– Determine methods to reduce, recycle and
reuse items
Why Reduce Waste?
• Less waste saves resources and money,
reduces pollution, and helps the earth.
• Changing your habits is the key — think
about ways you can reduce waste when
you shop, work, and play
Ways to Reduce Waste
Use glass instead of
paper or Styrofoam
cups
• Conserves resources
• Reduces our waste stream
• Saves or delays purchasing and disposal costs
• Causes less pollution than recycling or making
new products from virgin materials
• Makes needed items available to those who
can’t afford to buy them
How Do I Reuse?
• Saves energy
• Conserves resources
• Reduces pollution
• Cuts waste disposal costs
• Saves valuable raw materials
• Reduces trash in landfills
