SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

The section describes the solid waste management framework that guided the action planning of the LGU as identified and outlined in its Solid Waste Management Plan that was prepared in 2004. It explains the principles and concept that guide the LGU's efforts at solid waste management.


Solid waste management is an interactive, technical, environmental, social, political and economic system. To understand the interwoven activities requires understanding the stages and factors that affect each stage: 1) waste generation; 2) collection; and 3) disposal. (Figure 1). But everything depends on the volume and type of waste generated. Hence waste generation is seen as the most critical stage of waste management as it sets the stage for succeeding activities. The efforts in collection depend on waste generation while the requirements for waste disposal depend on the volume that is collected.
