SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Solid waste is an environmental problem that has reached critical

proportions in the Philippines. Due to a growing population, rapidly increasing
consumption and increasing urbanization, waste generated in the Philippines is
estimated at 19,700 tons per day. In some research, they projected that waste
generation will increase 47 percent or 28,875 tons per day.

Solid Waste Management (SWM) is the responsibility of local government

units (LGUs), i.e., barangays (the smallest political unit composed of 50-100
families), municipalities, cities and provincial governments. There are 41,392
barangays, 1502 municipalities, 116 cities and 71 provinces nationwide.

In the light of growing garbage problem in the country, Republic Act (RA)
9003 also known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 was
enacted by the Philippine Government. The unsystematic disposal and
collection of our wastes have posed a tough job for our government. They are

expected to segregate their waste in three kinds: biodegradable, compostable

and recyclable. This was implemented to support the RA. # 9003 which is also
known as Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.
It is also observed that the most common problem in the school is the
waste management. As stated in the DepEd mission the school should have a
motivating environment.

The BPIS staff find ways on how to make this vision

put into reality. We must take good care of our environment.

One way to

minimize waste is by using Glass which is the program launched by the school
and known as ELHaG or Every Learner Has a Glass program.
