ARTICLE V
SOLID 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 materials 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:

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.

(Page 19 of Res. No. 09-373)

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 , 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 10 th to the 15th pot
is full, in about a months 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;
 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.
(Page 20 of Res. No. 09-373)

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
Engineers 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, drums, etc. Storage shall follow the following
scheme:

(Page 21 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 22 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;

e. Any residual waste that cannot be properly managed by the

BMRF shall be collected by the CMRCF;
(Page 23 of Res. No. 09-373)

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. This shall
be published in a newspaper of local circulation and
distributed to households, offices, industrial & commercial
establishments, institutions and other solid waste generators,
as the need arises.
