I. INTRODUCTION
Solid waste management is the systematic administration of activities that provide the

collection, source separation, storage, transportation, transfer, processing, treatment, and disposal

of solid waste. The objectives of solid waste management are to control, collect, utilize, process

and dispose solid wastes in the most economical way consistent and ordinances. Municipal Solid

Waste (MSW), in general, consists of domestic wastes from households, both biodegradable and

non-biodegradable. ( Gabriella, 2008)

These include paper, Plastic, scrap metals, organic and non-organic matter, glass, and rubber

materials. In the Philippines, solid waste generation, particularly in urban areas became alarming

due to the limited areas by which these waste could be safely disposed (G. Dela Corte, 2009). In

compliance to the Ecological Solid Waste Management Actof2000 or R.A. 9003, a sanitary

landfill was proposed together With a waste water treatment. Solid waste generation has become

a big concern for most industrialized and developing countries in the world. The Philippines, for

one, faces this kind of problem escpecially now that population is getting bigger.

Just like barangay in Caloocan, the lack of barangay participation in solid waste

management and improper solid waste disposal is one of the problem in Caloocan. The sources

of solid waste materials are the following; public market business establishment, schools and

residents.

The status of Solid Waste Management (SWM) is a critical to set what should be done by the

government and private sectors for better results and better policy making. Solid waste

management contributes to the progress in economic, social and public health of one‟s

community and country. Solid waste management keeps business to take place, attracting

investors to trust the country and community in the success of their ventures. It keeps the

community clean and the people disciplined. SWM avoids chaos between individuals with

regards to each other‟s‟ waste disposal. The health of the citizens should be prioritized. The

most important resource the country has is human resource, without people working, the country

cannot generate income. The children whose health is most delicate at a young age can also be

affected with solid waste management. With this, the researchers found the need and urge to

study solid waste management.

Last month August 5 2019, Caloocan has started the cleaning operations called “Alis Sagabal

and Cleaning operations” led by our very own Mayor Oca Malpitan with Metro Manila

Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Danilo Lim at General Manager Jojo Garcia.

"Ito ay patunay lamang na ginagawa lamang natin ang ating trabaho sa ilalim pa rin ng
kautusan ng ating Pangulong Duterte na ibalik sa tao ang sidewalks," - Mayor Oca.
Samantala, binati naman ni Chairman Lim at General Manager Garcia si Mayor Oca sa
magandang programang isinasagawa niya sa lungsod.
"Naa-appreciate natin ang ginagawa ni Mayor Oca sa lungsod ng Caloocan. Bago pa man ang
kautusang ito, alam natin na nililinis na ni Mayor Oca ang Caloocan simula nang maupo siyang
mayor noong 2013," - General Manager Garcia.
"Ang lungsod ng Caloocan sa panguguna ni Mayor Oca ay nakikipagtulungan para
masolusyonan ang problema natin sa trapiko upang mas maging progresibo ang lungsod,"
dagdag ni Chairman Lim.”

This project of Mayor Oca Malapitan is very helpful to the residents of Barangay 171 not

only in Barangay 171 but the whole Barangay of Caloocan because little by little Caloocan is

bringing back the uniqueness and cleanliness of our town, this would be inspiration to our youth

and future generations.

I.1 STUDY OBJECTIVES

This study investigated the municipal solid waste management in Barangay 171, Caloocan

Specifically, this study aims to achieve is (a) to examine the ordinances and its implementation

on Solid Waste Management in Barangay 171 , (b) practices and compliance and (c) the

awareness and satisfaction of Household and Commercial respondents in Barangay 171

concerning the Solid Waste Management.

II. BACKGROUND

2.1 BACKGROUND OF SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL

Before introducing solid waste management, let's start with a discussion of the material being

managed — solid waste. Solid waste refers to the range of garbage arising from animal and

human activities that are discarded as unwanted and useless. Solid waste is generated from

industrial, residential and commercial activities in a given area, and may be handled in a variety

of ways. As such, landfills are typically classified as sanitary, municipal, construction and

demolition or industrial waste sites.

Waste can be categorized based on material, such as plastic, paper, glass, metal, and organic

waste. Categorization may also be based on hazard potential, including radioactive, flammable,

infectious, toxic, or non-toxic. Categories may also pertain to the origin of waste, such as

industrial, domestic, commercial, institutional or construction and demolition.

Solid waste disposal management is usually referred to the process of collecting and treating

solid wastes. It provides solutions for recycling items that do not belong to garbage or trash.

Solid waste management can be described as how solid waste can be changed and used as a

valuable resource.

Solid Waste Management is defined as the discipline associated with control of generation,

storage, collection, transport or transfer, processing and disposal of solid waste materials in a

way that best addresses the range of public health, conservation, economics, aesthetic,

engineering and other environmental considerations.

There are six functional components of the waste management system as outlined below:

1. Waste generation refers to activities involved in identifying materials which are no

longer usable and are either gathered for systematic disposal or thrown away.

2. Onsite handling, storage, and processing are the activities at the point of waste

generation which facilitate easier collection. For example, waste bins are placed at the

sites which generate sufficient waste.

3. Waste collection, a crucial phase of waste management, includes activities such as

placing waste collection bins, collecting waste from those bins and accumulating trash in

the location where the collection vehicles are emptied. Although the collection phase

involves transportation, this is typically not the main stage of waste transportation.

4. Waste transfer and transport are the activities involved in moving waste from the local

waste collection locations to the regional waste disposal site in large waste transport

vehicles.

5. Waste processing and recovery refer to the facilities, equipment, and techniques

employed both to recover reusable or recyclable materials from the waste stream and to

improve the effectiveness of other functional elements of waste management.

6. Disposal is the final stage of waste management. It involves the activities aimed at the

systematic disposal of waste materials in locations such as landfills or waste-to-energy

facilities.

2.3 BACKGROUND OF BARANGAY 171, CALOOCAN AND POPULATION

Caloocan, officially the City of Caloocan (Tagalog: Lungsod ng Caloocan), or simply

known as Caloocan City, is a 1st class highly urbanized city in Metro

Manila, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 1,583,978

people[3] making it the fourth-most populous city in the Philippines. It is divided into two

geographical locations with a total combined area of 5,333.40 hectares. It was formerly

part of the Province of Rizal of the Philippines' Southern Luzon Region. The city's name

is colloquially spelled as Kalookan. It comprises what is known as

the CAMANAVA area along with cities Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela South

Caloocan is bordered by Manila, Quezon City, Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela. North

Caloocan shares its border with Quezon City, Valenzuela

and Marilao, Meycauayan and San Jose del Monte in the province of Bulacan

(Figure1.2)

(Figure 1)

In figure 1 it shows from least to greatest

population in Caloocan including Barangay 171 which is top 8 from top 10 Populous

Barangays in Caloocan, 2010.

In 2015 Annual population change

[1990-2000] +4.43 %/year

[2000-2010] +2.37 %/year

[2010-2015] +1.24 %/year

It shows the population growth so it means while the population continues to growth

there is possibilities of improper waste management and waste disposal that cam from

house hold members, residents and establishments.

III. SIGNIFICACE OF THE STUDY

This research is very significant point in the life of every student, to

e v e r y researcher, and also to the future researcher. This will give additional

information about the waste management Program. Also to achieve the neatness of the

Page 7 of 20

Barangay, thus everyone will follow the cleanliness. The benefits of this project is to aim the

neatness and cleanliness of Barangay 171, Caloocan so there Caloocan can classify as one of the

cleanest city. It is beneficial to everyone because it lessen the air pollution that cause of illness,

helps alleviate allergies, and to resist global warming.

The results of this study would be of great help to the government, students, community,

readers and future research in the following ways:

- The Government. This study would help the government to know what policies and

regulations they will implement when it comes to proper waste management.

- The Students. This study would help them to know the ways of the public market vendors in

managing their wastes. In addition, it will give them an idea managing their own wastes.

VI. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Management of Solid waste is one of the greater challenges for development all over the world.

It is not only because SWM impact on the environment or health, but poor implementation of

SWM hinders the nation’s progress towards Sustainable Development (SD).

It should also be done by every individual, since the waste is produced from households. These

issues therefore serve as part of the conceptual framework for the study of Solid Waste

Management in Barangay 171, Caloocan

(Figure 2)

Figure 2 shows the conceptual application in the study. The figure explains the link between

SWM, environmental conservation. Further it shows development with growing economy and

population generates the Solid Waste which causes environmental pollution and degradation.

Waste separation, recycling and composting can be used as a method for SWM with legal

structure, awareness rising, attitude change, synergy between authority and the community to

mitigate these impact on the environment. As such, integrated sustainable solid waste

management provides the ground for the environmental conservation. In this way, the

development process could improve socio economic development
