I.INTRODUCTION
Increasing population and industrialization would also mean more wastes in the
environment. More waste, more diseases. But then, there would also be a positive effect of
increasing population, we could also help each other. Hand in hand for a better, cleaner and
greener environment for us people to stay and live with.
Waste segregation is important to our environment. It is segregating the bio-degradable
from non-biodegradable. It helps our environment to look cleaner and greener.
The project seeks to obtain alertness proper waste segregation with the youth who will be
concerning about the development of their barangay. The project tend to have a seminar about
the proper waste segregation into any barangay in order to have a clean and greaen barangay
The Clean and Greeen Association has been engaged inbto seminar and training project
for 2 years, this project was brought to six different barangays that will help a lot of each
barangay when it comes to proper waste segregation.

2. Rationale
Integrated Solid Waste Management is a responsibility of each and every individual, as it
benefits all as a part of the society and the environment. Also, it is practically not possible to do
it without the community participation, along with government and corporates. We need to focus
on a strategy for managing this issue by developing industry wise models, as industries differ in
the type, situation and resources for the waste and its management. Like, my focus is on
hospitality sector which is a major contributor of organic waste in the landfill besides the
household.
Youth, now a days does not recognize the importance of anything they don’t realize that
some of their waste can still be used on anything. Youth do not know how to segregate garbage
and do not have any idea how to bring and put their garbage to an appropriate container or trash
bin. The focused in this seminar is proper waste segregation and how to lessen the waste in our
environment without causing any problem.
This project is really important in terms of maintaining the cleanliness of Barangay 95
Caibaan Tacloban City. The people in the barangay will learn the significance of proper
segregation and recycling while the Barangay Captain will understand the importance of
discipilining the people in their barangay when it comes to waste management. This study may
also benefit the other barangays in maintaining and proper segregation of their waste. This
research aims to help the future researchers in their study of waste management.Therefore, with
this seminar and training project, the youth could benefit for them to have awareness when it
comes to proper waste segregation. And also, the proponent can also benefit from the youth in a
way of teaching them . The proponents would have an idea of how to teach the youth when the
time that they were going to conduct a seminar or training again.
3. GOAL, OBJECTIVE AND OUTCOMES

Preliminary Literature Review

Solid waste management has become one of a major concern in

environmental issues (Mazzanti & Zoboli, 2008). This is particularly true to urban areas
where population is rapidly growing and amount of waste generated is increasing like
never before (Kathiravale & Mohd Yunus, 2008). Current earth’s population is 6.8 billion
and it is estimated that almost half of this population lives in urban areas (Population
Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations
Secretariat, 2009). Waste generation increase proportionally to this population number
and income, creating the needs of effective management (Mazzanti & Zoboli, 2008).
Urbanization and industrialization leads to new lifestyles and behavior which also affects
waste composition from mainly organic to synthetic material that last longer such as
plastics and other packaging material (Idris et al., 2004). E-waste that barely existed
before was generated as much as 20-50 metric tons a year (UNEP, 2006)

The management of waste become complex and the facilities provided cannot
cope with the increasing demand and needs. Therefore, best approach need to be
implemented immediately while considering environmental, social and economic
aspects (Aye & Widjaya, 2006). The drivers of sustainable waste management were
clarified by Agamuthu et al. (2009), which include human, economic, institutional and
environment aspect. The study suggests that each driving group should be considered
in local context as managing solid waste for a particular society may differ from the
others. 11 For example, waste managers in Africa need to tackle some issues including,
lack of data, insignificant financial resources, vast different of amount and waste types
between urban and rural area, lack of technical and human resources, low level of
awareness and cultural aversion towards waste (Couth & Trois, 2010). On the other
hand, problems faced among Asian countries differ with two distinct groups; developed
and developing countries. While some of the countries are having specific national
policy on solid waste management, some others experience problems such as
increasing urban population, scarcity of land, services coverage area, inadequate
resources and technology, and so on (Shekdar, 2009).
