ARTICLE VSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

SECTION 20. Factors to Consider in Solid Waste Management – In managing solid waste, the generator shall consider the following options in this order of priority: a. Source reduction- waste generators shall think of ways

to reduce generation of wastes before they enter the solid waste stream. Possible measures to be undertaken may include the use of product with less packaging and reduce the use of non-recyclable materials. Replace disposable materials, use product with re-usable materials and increase efficiency in the use of paper, cardboard, glass, metals and other materials;

b. Re-use - A material’s life may be extended by re-use.

Wastes generators shall exert effort to re-use materials

before disposing them to minimize the volume of wastes for disposal;

c. Re-cycle - There are waste materials that can be processed

to produce new products. This type of waste materials shall be identified and separated from the waste stream. There is a growing market for recyclable materials; thus, waste generators can dispose this type of waste by selling to recyclers;

d. Composting - Biodegradable wastes shall be separated from

the waste stream and composted. Soil conditioner composting may be done with or without the aid of decomposers that hasten the process of decomposition. The final product may be sold or used for backyard garden, and;

e. Disposal - This is the last option. Wastes that cannot be re-used, recycled or decomposed shall be disposed through the regular collection system in the area.

SECTION 21. Compost-making -Households and establishments are encouraged to do composting. To begin making compost, remove grasses and sod cover from the area where the pile will be constructed. This will allow materials direct contact w/ soil microorganisms that facilitate decomposition. The following are the recommended layering for the compost pile:

(Page 22 of Res. No. 09-373)

Layer 1. At most 6 inches of biodegradable waste (Madunot), preferably chopped to smaller pieces;

Layer 2. Soil of the same thickness as the placed solid waste, or even less;

Layer 3 . (Optional) 2 to 3 inches of horse manure or chicken dung. Sprinkle with water if manure or dung is dry;

Layer 4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the compost bin is full. After five or 6 weeks, turn the heap by mixing the materials.

Keep the compost moderately wet. Protect from too much rain to prevent loss of nutrients. Do not burn on top of garbage piles or composters for this will kill the biologic decomposers and delays the process of decomposition. Aerate or allow air access. As matters decay, heat is produced. Too much heat may kill and reduce the microbe population with resultant delay in the decomposition process. Compost is ready to use when dark, crumbly and earthly smelling in about 5 - 6 weeks.

SECTION 22. Making Small-Scale Home Composters - Each household shall select any of the following small-scale composters that best suit their needs and purposes at home. In all these methods use the same layering scheme and, preferably, chop the garbage to be placed to hasten decomposition and put hollow perforated plastic or bamboo

tube or any other devise in order to aerate the mixture of garbage and soil:

a. Twin Pits - Dig two pits – 1 x 1 x 1 meter or less depending upon area available , ½ meter apart and using the pits by turns. For an average household, it might take a month to fill each pit, thus allowing sufficient time for the materials to decompose or mature into a compost ( soil conditioner );

b. Tower tires - Make three or four piles of old tires placed directly on the ground and use these as a container for composting. To aerate, just insert anything between tires. If placed on cement flooring, line the bottom with soil;

c. Bottomless composters - Use old drums, plastic water container with bottoms off or even an old rice sack with bottom seam ripped off and supported by three pegs or cheap posts to let it stand;

d. Clay flower pots compost “garden” - Use ten to fifteen flower pots to serve as composters. Utilize these by turns applying the same layering scheme. By the time the 10th to

the 15th pot is full, in about a month’s time, empty contents of the first pot and use this as soil conditioner for plants or trees. Pots may be stacked one on top of another, but keep contents moist;

e. Plastic bag composters – Line plastic bags, instead of pots, with soil, place chopped biodegradables, top with some leaves and soil, moisten, then stack them one on top of the other while waiting complete decomposition. In a few weeks, this become clean, safe, odorless compost that is very good for plants;

(Page 23 of Res. No. 09-373)

f. Compost bins - These may be constructed from chicken wire or any durable “basket” materials for small-scale composting and from wood slabs for large-scale composting. Design these to adequately accommodate the necessary materials or ingredients and allow access of air. For large-scale composting, allow sufficient mixing or turning of waste at right intervals.

SECTION 23. Management Scheme for Generators -The following undertaking shall be strictly observed to ensure efficient and effective implementation of solid waste management in households, commercial & industrial establishments, institutions and agricultural areas. Infectious wastes from hospitals, medical and dental clinics, blood banks, free-standing clinical laboratories, barangay health centers, veterinary clinics, funeral parlors and other health-related facilities are managed separately, as provided for in Article VII.

1. Household and Establishment Own Collection and Disposal System - Whenever feasible, every household & establishment shall have and maintain a system of solid waste collection and disposal of biodegradable and recyclable/re-usable non-biodegradable wastes. All houses and buildings which do not have existing system of solid waste collection, but which have available space for the purpose, may construct or assemble such facilities in

accordance with the specifications and sketches to be furnished free of charge by the Waste and Pollution Management Division or the City Engineer’s Office.

2. No Segregation, No Collection - For households and establishments which could not really construct or assemble their own system of collection and disposal, segregation of wastes must be absolutely observed since unsorted waste shall not be collected at all after two warnings, or settlement of prescribed penalty, as provided for in letter (q ), Section 54, Article IX. It is the responsibility of the generators to segregate their wastes according to the following schemes: a. Solid waste as defined in Numbers ( 2 ), ( 3 )& ( 4

), Section 6, Article II, should be segregated into non - hazardous , non-infectious biodegradable wastes and non-biodegradable wastes ( recyclable /re-usable and residuals ); and

b. Special wastes as defined in Number ( 5 ), Section 6, Article II, should be segregated separately, such as hazardous household wastes, bulky wastes, white goods, consumer electronics, large yard and large agricultural wastes.

3. Storage -Storage varies depending upon the classification of the wastes. Generators must store each type of waste in separate receptacles to facilitate collection. Various types of receptacles may be used depending upon the nature of the waste. Examples of receptacles include plastics, cans, sacks, cartons, pails, etc. Storage shall follow the following scheme:

(Page 24 of Res. No. 09-373)

a. Biodegradable non-hazardous wastes shall be placed in plastic bags or sacks and the mouth tied tightly with any material colored green to prevent entry of insects and rodents , avoid spillage-at-source or upon collection by garbage vehicles and to facilitate identification and sorting by garbage collectors. Other receptacles may be used provided it is tightly covered or similarly tied. Improperly tied receptacles shall not be collected after two warnings and prior to settlement of fine/penalty;

b. The non-biodegradable non-hazardous wastes shall be segregated into recyclables or re-usables and residuals, placed in separate plastic bags or sacks and mouth securely fastened ( yellow tie for re-usables /recyclable; black for residuals ) and stored until the scheduled collection for such type of garbage. If these are improperly segregated and tied, these will not be collected after two warnings and prior to settlement of prescribed fine and/or penalty; and

c. Special waste from household, commercial,

institutional establishments, viz.:

c.a. Hazardous household, commercial, industrial and institutional waste, as defined in No. 5, Section 6, Article II, such as batteries, fluorescent lamps, aerosol canisters and acids, shall be placed in a separate receptacle, properly covered or tightly tied with any material colored black and stored until its scheduled collection and upon payment of prescribed fee; and

c.b. Bulky waste, white goods, consumer

electronics, large yard waste and agricultural waste shall be hygienically stored prior to scheduled collection time and upon payment of prescribed fee.

SECTION 24. Communal Receptacles - Communal covered receptacles ( colored green for biodegradable wastes , yellow for non-biodegradable recyclable/re-usable wastes and black for non-biodegradable residual wastes ) may be provided by the BMRF or CMRF to cluster of houses which are not accessible to the collection vehicles of the BMRF or the CMRF. The contents of these receptacles shall be collected on scheduled time. The users of these communal receptacles must be responsible for its safety, sanitation, cleaning and proper sorting as mandated in this Ordinance. Similar color-coded receptacles or trailers shall be placed in appropriate areas in bus terminals, markets and crowded public places as may be determined by the Board per recommendation of the WPMD.

(Page 25 of Res. No. 09-373)

SECTION 25. No Sidewalk Garbage Receptacles - In order to maintain the cleanliness and neatness of sidewalks, there shall be no garbage receptacles on the sidewalks, except on selected areas as may be determined and allowed by the ICSWMB through the Wastes and Pollution Management Division. All stores, establishments, institutions are required to have suitable receptacles to keep its garbage inside its premises and brought out only during scheduled collection days.

SECTION 26. New Building Waste Storage Area - No new building shall be constructed without a building permit and approved plan issued by the Office of the Building Official which shall include a plan for garbage segregation , storage and composting (optional ).

SECTION 27. Existing Building Storage Area - All existing buildings shall provide an area for waste segregation and storage of garbage. However, if this is not feasible, the building owner shall identify an area or facility in consultation or coordination with the Wastes and Pollution Management Division which will provide the necessary sketches and specifications.

SECTION 28. Management Scheme for Collection - The following undertaking shall be observed in the collection and disposal of solid wastes:

a. Generators shall bring out their properly segregated wastes only at the time of the scheduled collection as announced and set by the BMRF or the Central Materials Recovery & Composting Facility. If nobody is present in a fenced house or building at the time of collection, the wastes which are contained in appropriate receptacles as prescribed in Number 3.a and 3.b, Section 23, may be hanged on the inside portion of the fence within the reach of garbage collectors; if unfenced, the garbage should likewise be placed in appropriate receptacles, secured with appropriate tie and may be placed beside the wall of the house or building nearest the road and accessible to the garbage collectors;

b. Dead animals shall be buried by their owners and human & animal wastes shall be disposed of by means of toilets, septic tank or similar disposal facility;

c. Each barangay or cluster of barangays is responsible for the collection of properly segregated non-hazardous non-biodegradable wastes, biodegradable wastes and any special waste which could be collected by its garbage vehicle and brought to the BMRF. Household and establishment owners are encouraged to sell the re-usable or re-cyclable wastes directly to junk dealers (didangers) or to junk stores and do composting themselves to reduce the volume of wastes to be collected by the BMRF;

d. Special wastes which could not be handled by the BMRF garbage vehicle shall be collected on the day and time scheduled for the collection of special wastes by the CMRCF per advise or notification by the BMRF;

(Page 26 of Res. No. 09-373)

e. Any residual waste that cannot be properly managed by the BMRF shall be collected by the CMRCF;

f. If the barangay MRF has no composting facility, the bio-degradables shall be collected by the CMRF;

g. Infectious wastes shall be collected on scheduled days by separate trucks exclusively for the purpose; and

h. For further instruction on solid waste classification,

segregation, composting techniques and schedules of collection, a guide shall be prepared by the WPMD.
