Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
Republic Act 9003 mandates LGUs to prepare its 10-Year Solid Waste Management
Plan. The Act states that:
The province, city or municipality, through its local solid waste management boards,
shall prepare its respective 10-year solid waste management plans consistent with
the National Solid Waste Management Framework: Provided, that the waste
management plan shall be for the re-use, recycling and composting of wastes
generated in their respective jurisdictions: Provided, further, that the solid waste
management plan of the LGU shall ensure the efficient management of solid waste
generated within its jurisdiction. The plan shall place primary emphasis on
implementation of all feasible reuse, recycling, and composting programs while
identifying the amount of landfill and transformation capacity that will be needed for
solid waste which cannot be re-used, recycled, or composted. The plan shall contain
all the components provided in Section 17 of the Act, RA9003 and a timetable for the
implementation of the solid waste management program in accordance with the
National Framework and pursuant to the provisions of the Act: Provided, finally, it
shall be reviewed every two years by the provincial, city or municipal solid waste
management board.
In the preparation of the 10-Year Solid Waste Management Plan, this Chapter shall
contain an overview of the plan including its purpose and approach. It explains the
need for a solid waste plan and its function, the context behind the plan direction, the
plan scope, and the process by which the plan was developed, including public
involvement activities.
Ecological solid waste management plan shall be formulated with involvement of the
city or municipality, citizen, communities, business establishments, etc. The
involvement begins with an assessment and planning process so that all
stakeholders understand the current situation, agree on what will work and plan on a
strategic actions on how to reach the city/municipality’s goal.
The introduction to the plan shall contain the following:
1.1 Purpose of Guidebook
The plan shall place primary emphasis on implementation of all feasible reuse,
recycling, and composting programs while identifying the disposal amount and
treatment capacity. The plan shall contain all the components provided in Section 17
of this RA 9003 and a timetable for the implementation of the solid waste
management program in accordance with the National Framework and pursuant to
the provisions of the Act: Provided, finally, That it shall be reviewed and updated
every two (2) years by the provincial, city or municipal solid waste management
board as required.
This guidebook provides practical advice on how the solid waste management plan
can be formulated and implemented at the city/municipal level by introduction of the
concept of strategic planning for municipal solid waste management. The guidebook

- 2 -
describes the process and the outputs of strategic planning, points out what is
needed to proceed and guides the reader through the process in a practical, step-by-
step approach. Eventually, it is expected that the guidebook will provide the charts
for the LGUs to:
1. understand the concept of strategic planning for municipal solid waste
management;
2. understand what is needed to develop a municipal waste management plan
and strategy;
3. understand the potential advantages and disadvantages of a participatory
stakeholder approach;
4. understand how to organize and manage the different stages of the strategic
planning process.
1.2 Approach for Preparation of Guidebook
The main approach in preparing this guidebook is to identify firstly the problems and
issues of the LGUs for solid waste management. Then based on the analysis of the
existing situation, generating objectives to address the problems, appraising and
objectives setting, generating actions that support each objective, and preparation of
the action plans, proposal for funding, etc., the guidebook is developed for guiding
the LGUs for preparation of the solid waste management plan easier and effectively.
1.3 Definition of Terms
The terms used in this guidebook shall refer to the definition of terms in RA 9003.

Chapter 2 MOBILIZING THE PLANNING PROCESS
Planning of solid waste management requires the cooperation and inputs of all
stakeholders that include city/municipal officials, residents and other groups in the
communities having the benefits or affected by solid waste management. Thus, the
establishment of a working committee or solid waste management board composed
of different sectors involved in waste management is basically required. These
stakeholders have different experiences, needs and ideas that could contribute very
well to the formulation of the plan.
A Sanggunian Resolution for the formation of the working committee/board is also
necessary to formalize and legalize the creation of the committee/board.
Capability building of the working committee/board is also necessary so that a
common understanding could be reached. Thereafter, the meetings and/or
brainstorming shall be conducted and moderated by a capable facilitator who can set
the agenda for planning. In most of the cases, the agenda should include:
• Views on the goals and objectives of each stakeholder
• Issues and problems encountered by each stakeholder in the implementation of
solid waste management
• The provisions of RA 9003
• Available data and or materials
• Plans for implementation of proper solid waste management from the point of
view of the stakeholders
The next step is to assess all gathered data taking into consideration of the present
service level and/or system of solid waste management in the city/municipality for
the information including the status of waste generation, waste volume, storage,
collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of municipal solid waste. The
assessment when completed offers a comprehensive picture or the images for how
to solve the problems on the waste management system of the city/municipality. It
will then become the basis for development of the solid waste management plan.
This Chapter shall discuss how the working committee or the board was created.
The discussion should also include the processes on how they were able to gather
data, how they identified issues/problems, logistics and how they plan to find
solutions to the identified problems.
This Chapter serves as a framework for understanding the problems first and looking
for solutions, second. This is important because many of the failures in waste
management are related to an inadequate analysis of the problem, which leads to
emergencies and poor, crisis-driven decision making.

Chapter 3 SITUATION ANALYSIS
This section discusses the current solid waste management practices of the
City/Municipality. This shall include the following sub-topics:
3.1 Location
The city/municipality’s location shall be discussed, if possible its longitudinal and
latitudinal points, the areas bounding its location including its land area. The names
of all the barangays must also be
included indicating whether it is urban or
rural and the barrangays in collection
service.
A map must be included the locations of
barangays, as well as residential,
commercial, industrial centers, and
agricultural areas as well as dump sites,
landfills and other solid waste facilities.
The map shall indicate as well, the
proposed sites for disposal and other
solid waste facilities. Maps are important
because they can be an effective
instrument to use in assessment. Maps
can triangulate official information,
assess routing and collection efficiency,
can help in the time and motion
assessment, density of population,
zoning classification and many more.
An example of a map is shown as Figure 3.1
3.2 History
The historical background of the city/municipality: how and when it was created, the
law governing its creation and its present classification, e.g 1st
, 2nd
, or highly
urbanized.
3.3 Population
The population of the city/municipality must be shown indicating also the population
of each barangay within the city or municipality and the population projection for a
10-year period. The growth rate must also be specified. Basically what must be
included in this topic are:
Figure 3.1

- 5 -
• Current population of the city/municipality indicating also the current population of
each barangay and identifying also the rural and urban areas and the barrangays
in collection service.
• The 10-yr projection of population down to the barangay level as required.
3.4 Economic Profile/Land Use
The economic profile must be
discussed including list of
i n d u s t r i e s w i t h i n t h e
c i t y / m u n i c i p a l i t y . T h e
economic condition of the
area is important because
this would later on influence
the LGU’s choice of system
for collection, transportation,
storage, technology, etc.
The land use map is also
necessary, in particular
showing the urban and rural
land use classification.
An example of a land use
map is shown as Figure 2:
The major transportation
routes and traffic conditions
must also be discussed
because this will affect the
collection system and routes
.
3.5 Physical Characteristics
The plan shall indicate the following background information on the city or
municipality and its component barangays, covering important highlights of distinct
geographic characteristics and other conditions particularly geology, hydrology, soil,
and climate of the area or region.
3.6 Institutional Arrangements
List of existing agencies of the city/municipal administration that handle SWM and
its services, and the roles and responsibilities of the agencies. It should include all
aspects of SWM such as: collection, recycling, disposal, IEC, accounting,
implementation and enforcement of regulations.
Figure 3.2

- 6 -
3.7 Inventory of Equipment and Staff
The inventory of equipment particularly the collection vehicles and landfill equipment
are necessary because this could measure collection and landfill operation
efficiency. Appropriate numbers of good working vehicles can perform the sufficient
collection services and disposal of waste each day.
Therefore, the data included are:
• List of existing equipment, its capacity and present conditions, maker, model,
year of procurement, repair shop, and others,
• The number of personnel and their positions/designation must also be stated to
assess whether there are enough manpower to implement the SWM activities
effectively; and
• The trainings available for the SWM staff must also be stated.
.
3.8 Waste Reduction at Sources
The waste reduction component shall include the LGUs current programs and
implementation schedule which shows the methods by which the LGU, in
combination with the recycling and composting components, reduce a sufficient
amount of solid waste disposed of in accordance with the diversion requirements of
Section 20 of the Act, RA9003.
The component of waste reduction at sources shall include waste reduction
strategies, programs and economic incentives provided under Section 45 of the Act
to reduce and use of non-recyclable materials, replace disposable materials and
products with reusable materials and products, reduce packaging, and increase the
efficiency of the use of paper, cardboard, glass, metal, and other materials. The
waste reduction activities of the community shall also take into account, among
others, local capability, economic viability, technical requirements, social concerns,
disposition of residual waste and environmental impact.
3.9 Recycling
The recycling component shall include a program and implementation schedule
which shows the methods by which the LGU shall reduce a sufficient amount of solid
waste disposed of in accordance with the diversion requirements set in Section 20.
The LGU recycling component shall describe the following:
(1) The types and amount of materials recycled under the program;
(2) Segregation and recovery of different types of recyclable waste for re-use,
recycling and composting;
(3) Location of MRFs in operation, description of the major activities of the
MRFs, recovered recyclable waste amount per month or year, number of
staff of each MRF, etc.

- 7 -
(4) The methods for determining the categories of solid wastes to be diverted
from disposal through recycling;
(5) Education and/or public campaign conducted for promotion of the
recycling activities; and
The strategy for collecting, treatment, marketing and selling the designated
recyclable materials shall take into account the waste generators and the recycling
industries. Such strategy may be based upon the results of the waste composition
analysis performed pursuant to this Section or information obtained in the course of
past collection of solid waste by the local government unit, and may include
recommendations with respect to increasing the amount of recyclable materials
designated for recycling pursuant to the Act.
The LGU recycling plan shall include industrial, commercial, residential, agricultural,
governmental, buy-back recycling programs, automated materials recovery facilities,
zoning, building code changes and pricing of recyclable materials which encourage
recycling of materials. The Solid Waste Management Plan shall indicate the specific
measures or action plans to realize the targeted waste diversion ratio.
3.10 Composting
The composting component shall be included in the 10-Year SWM Plan in
combination with the segregation of food waste/ biodegradable wastes at the waste
generation sources to comply with the diversion requirements of the Act in
combination with the recycling plan to recover valuable wastes.
The LGU composting components shall describe the following:
(1) The kinds of materials that are composted under the program;
(2) The methods or processes for composting for home composting,
community level composting and/or central composting; and
(3) Capacity of new facilities, and expansion of existing facilities for
composting.
3.11 Collection
The practical waste collection activity shall take into account the geographic
conditions to determine the coverage of the solid waste collection area in every
barangay. The barangay shall be responsible to provide sufficient waste collection
services from residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural sources as required,
where necessary within the barangay.
Waste collection is one of the most expensive and visible elements in waste
management activities. Thus, in order to assess the efficiency of collection, the
matters described here shall be the coverage of the solid waste collection area in

- 8 -
every barangay, the manner of collection (door to door, curbside, collection points,
etc), collection route, and collection schedule/frequency. It should also take into
account the following information:
(1) Availability or provision of properly designed containers or receptacles in
collection points for the temporary storage of solid waste while awaiting
collection and transfer to processing sites or to final disposal sites;
(2) Hauling and/or transfer of solid waste from sources or collection points to
processing sites or final disposal sites;
(3) Status of Issuance and enforcement of ordinances to implement a
collection system effectively in the barangay; and
(4) Availability of provision of properly trained officers and workers to handle
solid waste collection.
The discussion shall define and specify the methods and systems for the
transportation of solid waste from the specific collection points to solid waste
treatment/disposal facilities. It must also include whether the collection service is
being conducted by administration or by private collectors/haulers and whether
segregated collection is being implemented and the schedule of collection.
If the collection is being provided by private haulers, a list of the collectors/haulers
and their service area, numbers of vehicles in service, collection/transportation
capacity, etc. in the contract must be indicated.
Following is an example of description for the collection system employed by
Quezon City where collection is carried out by the cell.
The City is implementing a Macro and Micro Cell-Based Collection System,
wherein the waste generation of an area or a cell is equivalent to one
truckload of garbage or 16 cubic meters of wastes. This system of collection
was established for the following purposes:
To know the required number of vehicles needed to collect the daily waste
generation of Quezon City.
For proper coding of the service area.
For proper scheduling of waste collection.
The Cell-Based Collection System is also being used as basis for the
Package Clean-Up Contract with the waste haulers/contractors. Under this
type of Contract, the contractor is given full responsibility to manage,
administer and directly carry out collection, cleaning and disposal of solid
waste from various sources.

- 9 -
In terms of collection schedule, Quezon City has three (3) service schedules:
Main Thoroughfares - collection of garbage is done daily from 4:00 AM to
7:00 AM, with mopping-up operations not later than 9:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M.
Mopping or follow-up collections are undertaken to collect late and untimely
disposals. The main thoroughfare areas are of mixed sectors, composed
mostly of commercial establishments, some industries and residential houses.
Stationary collection – route for public markets and hospitals (domestic
wastes only). Collection is done on a daily basis. For government-owned
institutions, collection of waste depends on waste volume. Collection is done
on a daily, twice or thrice weekly basis.
Barangay (residential) collection - scheduled twice-a-week: Mondays &
Thursdays, Tuesdays and Fridays, and Wednesdays & Saturdays. The
Barangay areas are composed mostly of residential houses mixed with some
other sectors like commercial and industrial, etc.
3.12 Transfer Station

and other income sources shall be stated clearly with the breakdown. The cost of
SWM activities shall be also stated with the breakdown cost for personnel, projects,
procurement, fuel, repair, etc, for operation & maintenance of the facilities and
equipment. It also required to indicate the funds and cost of the specific projects,
activities, equipment and technological requirements for which outside sourcing of
funds or materials was used to carry out the specific components. In summary, the
statement of revenue and cost under this section shall indicate the following:
• Revenue from annual budget, loan, waste charge, license fee, and other
income sources for SWM in the last 5 years; .
• Expenditures Including capital investment, operation & maintenance,
procurement, and administration for SWM in the last 5years; .
An example of a budget statement for a highly urbanized/ 1st
Class City is:
Annual Budget Allocated for
Calendar Year 2005: P 828,934,342.00
Personal Services Expenses: P 5,818,614.00
Of the total amount allocated under this item, only about 5% was spent because
only 28 positions were filled-up. The remaining personnel were hired under Contract of
Service.
Maintenance and other operating expenses: P 821,329,400.00
P 600,000,000.00 was allocated for Garbage Hauling Services. The expenses for
garbage hauling was computed at P 50,000,000.00 per month for 12 months for the 5
collection districts (District I, District II-A, District II-B, District III and District IV). The
amount was based on the price ceilings under the TOR set by the City Government for
bidding purposes. However, the actual expenses in a month’s time were lower than the
ceiling price due to the imposition of fines and penalties on the Contractors for various
shortcomings and deficiencies. The penalties accrue as “savings” for the City and were
used for Special Operations.
P 193,200,000.00 was allocated for the improvements that were undertaken at the
Payatas Controlled Dump Facility.
P 10,464,000.00 was allocated for the salaries of the 155 Contractual Personnel in the
Department.
P 5,050,000.00 was allocated for massive IEC-related programs (signboards, flyers,
contest in schools and barangays, conduct of special events, rentals, seminars on
SWM and Anti-Pollution, etc.).
P 5,000,000.00 was allocated for the Incentive Package Program given to barangays
for the savings accrued through waste diversion.
P 3,850,400.00 was allocated for the annual implementation of the Sagip Batis sa QC
Project or the Riverways Management Program.

- 13 -
P 3,565,000.00 for Advertisements on SWM.
P 200,000.00 was allocated for office equipment and repairs and maintenance of motor
vehicles.
Capital Outlay: P 1,786,328.00
P 1,386,328.00 was allocated for Other Structures – Massive Information Campaign
(house to house IEC – Billboards and Flyers).
P 400,000.00 was allocated for miscellaneous expenses.
An average of P400,000.00 a year is earned from penalties paid by Environment
Violators. The revenue earned from violators is low because Violators are given the
option to render community service rather than pay the fine.
The City has never collected hauling service fees from residential areas. With the
approval of the New Revenue Code, however, fees for the collection of bulky wastes
was imposed, thereby, generating a total revenue of Php156,412.50 from February to
October 2005.
3.19 Definition of Problems and Key Issues
What shall be identified here are the major problems being encountered by the
city/municipality for implementation of solid waste management i.e. mixed waste
collection, unavailability of disposal facility, disposal area for special/hazardous
wastes and define clearly the encountering issues for solving the current problems in
addition to the probable issues towards upgrading the current SWM activities and/or
implementing the new projects/plans and programs.
3.20 Waste Characteristics
Characteristic of municipal solid waste shall be stated under this section through the
result of Waste Amount and Composition Survey (WACS) for domestic waste,
commercial wastes, street waste for the samples at the waste generation sources,
mixed disposal waste (residual waste), commercial wastes, market waste, street
waste, etc. The survey shall be conducted for the representative waste samples of
the solid waste generated and disposed of and may be carried out for the composite

Chapter 4 ESTABLISHING THE PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Formulation of the Solid Waste Management Plan (SWM Plan) is one of the duties
and responsibilities of the City or Municipal Solid Waste Management Board as
stated in Section 12 of the Act. The SWM Plan shall ensure the long-term
management of solid waste as well as integration of the various solid waste
management plans and strategies of the LGU in the area of jurisdiction. The SWM
plan shall be formulated in accordance with the requirements under Section 16 and
Section 17, Chapter III, RA9003 and Section 2, Part III, IRR of RA9003. This
guidebook provides some practical means that explain the requirements and/or
augment the references helpful for the LGUs to formulate the 10-year SWM Plan.
Before proceed to formulate the 10-year SWM Plan, the situation analysis of SWM
carried out based on the several conditions described in III. SITUATION ANALYSIS
of this Guidebook shall be ensured in the point of appropriateness and correctness
especially for the problem analysis, current issues and financial capability.
Following sections presents the approaches, studies, analysis and/or the explanation
for how to formulate the 10-year SWM Plan by the LGUs.
4.1 Mission
A mission statement is not always required in the formulation of the plan, but this is
just a formal short written statement of the purpose of the LGU to direct the course to
formulate the SWM Plan. The Mission Statement will guide the actions of the
organization, spell out its overall goal, provide a sense of direction and guide
decision making.
4.2 Vision
On this part of the plan, you have to provide a Vision Statement that can help your
LGU be focused, inspired and committed to implement ESWM. This can be further
explained by discussing the goals in achieving it. In simplest terms, the Vision is
what the LGU want to establish for the SWM, while the Goal is what/how the LGU
have to attain.
Here are some tips that can be followed to arrive at the Vision statements:
• Set limitations on what the vision statement addresses. It must be feasible,
realistic and transferable into future plans;
For example:
“To implement a Solid Waste Management program that will institutionalize
the practice of environmental and sanitary waste management in the
municipality.”
Municipality of A, Province of XYZ

- 18 -
• Think of the future development of the LGU. Dream big but make the vision
realistic and achievable statement.
The followings are some tips for setting the goals of SWM in connection with
formulation of the 10-year SWM Plan. The goal must be;
1. within the skills and capabilities. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of
the LGU will help to set the goals that can accomplish.
2. realistic. Setting a goal to gradually implement the SWM Plan in the
Municipality within 3 years is realistic. Trying to fully implement the SWM Plan
in 6 months is not realistic.
3. flexible. Sometimes things will not go the way anticipated and it may need to
change the goals. Stay flexible so when realized a change is necessary it will
be ready to make the change.
4. measurable. It is important to be able to measure your progress toward a
goal. It is especially important to recognize when you have accomplished your
goal and need to go no further. Failure to measure your progress toward a
goal and recognize its accomplishment will result in effort that is misdirected
and wasted.
4.3 Target
In compliance with RA 9003 the LGUs should have diverted at least 25% of all solid
waste from disposal facilities through recycling, recovery, composting and other
resource recovery activities by year 2006 and should have implemented the increase
in its waste diversion goal by 2009. Hence, by year 2010 the LGU should have
diverted more than 25 % of the total waste generated from disposal facilities by
implementing said resource recovery activities.
For example:
“The Municipality A envisions that “by year 2015, it will be a progressive
and peaceful community, sustainably managing its forests resources that are
equitably allocated and providing socio-economic and ecological benefits to
all stakeholders.”
For example:
• To conserve and protect the environment through proper SWM
management and disposal;
• To ensure public health among constituents and protect them from
environmental hazards, pests and diseases;
• To improve efficient and effectiveness of the local government in
delivering SWM services; and
• To help provide employment opportunities for the community.

- 19 -
The target of waste diversion should be determined as a result of the integrated
approach starting from estimation of waste generation amount, waste collection
amount, recovery amount of recyclable materials, waste amount for intermediate
treatment, and waste disposal amount which are targeted by these interrelated
action plans to be formulated for the next 10 years.
Generally, or most practically, the waste amount is estimated based on the
population and the waste generation/ discharge amount per capita per day. In order
to estimate the future population, the past population records for the minimum 10
years shall be collected and analyzed to determine the equation for predicting the
future population. The past population data can be plotted for a graph by a spread
sheet software. The tendency curve analysis is available by the spread sheet
software for series equation models such as exponential, linear, logarithmic, moving
arrange, etc. and select the most appropriate series equation for the LGU to estimate
the future population. The future population should include the following areas.
• Population of LGU within the administration area of the LGU
• Barangay population provided with waste collection service
• Actual waste collection population within the barangays provided with waste
collection
Waste amount also predicted for the said three areas accordingly.
Waste generation/discharge amount per capita per day shall be obtained through the
waste amount and composition survey conducted prior to or in the initial stage of
formulation of the SWM Plan. Moreover, the recovery amount of recyclable
materials shall be obtained basically through the result/analysis of the junk shop
survey, waste picker survey and composting activities. The current or initial waste
diversion ratio should be determined by the result of these surveys and increase the
waste diversion ratio to the value targeted by the annual implementation of the action
plans.
An example, the following Table, shows all the elements and the method of
computation of the target values of waste collection, waste recovery, waste
treatment, waste disposal, etc. and waste diversion ratio to comply with the
requirements of RA9003.

4.4 Strategies
Formulation of the SWM Plan and the implementation thereafter shall be conducted
with strategies to be worked out but not limited to the following items:
• The strategies to materialize and attain the waste diversion targets (detail will
be provided in the succeeding sections). **
• The strategies to coordinate with the barangays to implement 3 R activities
through waste segregation at sources, separate collection, MRFs and
composting facilities.**
• The strategies to improve/expand waste collection.**
• The strategies for development and maintenance of SLF for waste disposal
• The strategies to improve and strengthen institutional setup and capacity
development
• The strategies to improve and strengthen the financial conditions for
sustainable operation of the SWM activities,
• The strategies for participation of the public to SWM activities,
• The strategies for environmental conservation and social consideration
Below is an example of brief information on the strategies done by a LGU.
Waste Reduction at Source
An effective Ecological Solid Waste Management Program must necessarily begin at
the source. Thus, this first strategy refers to activities undertaken by households institutions,
and establishments to manage prior to collection in order to minimize the overall volume of
waste and increase the effectiveness of other management efforts “downstream”.
There are three main components of this stratagem – reduction at source,
segregation at source, and diversion. Through IEC and public education, households,
institutions, establishments, and other producers of waste will be encouraged to reduce the
amount of waste they produce, to properly segregate their wastes according to classification
so as to streamline collection and diversion processes, and to divert wastes that can be
removed from the waste stream at the household level.
Division of Collection Responsibilities
A division of collection responsibilities will be essential to the Ecological Solid Waste
Management. These responsibilities will be delineated through policy and IEC for each of the
levels within the program – household, barangay, and municipal. This will ensure that waste
is handled with the utmost efficiency and that no opportunity is missed for reducing the
volume of the waste stream or for diverting waste.

- 23 -
Diversion
Diversion of potentially reusable and recyclable material from waste stream is a top priority
of this Ecological Solid Waste Management Plan. The most important aspect of the diversion
strategy will be mandatory composting at multiple levels. Because biodegradable waste
constitutes such a large percentage of the total waste stream, this category of waste should
be the focus of special and intensive efforts to minimize volume and capitalize on potential
value of this material.
With this in mind, a new ordinance will be drafted to the effect that each household
institution, or establishment will implement its own composting program. Household compost
pits or other mechanism will be used to divert biodegradable waste and preempt the
necessity of collecting this waste. Mechanisms will beestablished to assist households in
profiting from their composting activities by selling their final product to gardeners or farmers.
Hands on training on composting for household members including farmers shall be
conducted regularly
At its MRF, each barangay will be encouraged to establish a composting area to handle
overflow of biodegradable wastes from households and other sources, especially in the
central urban barangays where space for composting facilities is an issue. For its part, the
municipal government will establish an Eco-center, which will include an area dedicated to
composting waste originating from the public market. In addition, the LGU will also set up a
static composting area to serve as a model for barangays and households.
Appropriate Final Disposal
Under this plan, final disposal of waste will be managed according to the
classification of waste, so as to maximize the efficiency of the program. The most salient
aspect of the final disposal strategy will be the establishment if a new sanitary landfill as the
disposal site for the residual and special waste generated in the municipality.
Within the six-hectare of the Municipal Eco-Park, one (1) will be allocated for a four
chambers of the SLF including a Septic Vault, Leachate Pond, Monitoring wells, Filtering
Chambers and a Static Composting area. A guard house and an administrative building will
be established also. The rest of the area will be used for Agro-Forestry Project. Forest and
Fruit bearing trees will be planted to cash crops under them.

- 24 -
Chapter 5 Planning the Sustainable SWM System
The purpose of this Chapter is to identify and study the practical options and
alternative solutions to formulate the SWM Plan.
Possible activities include: the collection of data and information to supplement the
findings on current situation, discussions and consent on the range of options that
will be considered practical and fully evaluate and finally select the preferable options
to formulate the SWM Plan. The local government unit has to identify and
systematically assess the range of institutional, technical, financial and promotional
options available. Further, the LGU has to revisit these processes to cope with the
development within the LGU.

5.1Concepts to Formulate the 10-Year SWM Plan
In the solid waste management hierarchy, waste generation amount reduction at
sources is of the prime priority. Effective waste reduction programs will influence in
the recycling and disposal programs of the LGU.
In the preparation of the 10-Year SWM Plan, the plans, projects and programs shall
be formulated for waste reduction at sources including the action plans and the
implementation schedule. Specify the implementing sectors to be targeted with a
given timeframe under the action plan of each activity. Given the results of the
WACS, the targeted recyclable materials shall be determined and addressed the
methods for recovery, collection, treatment and eventual waste diversion from
disposal.
Example:
“Segregation of wastes into biodegradable, recyclable, residual and special wastes will be
strictly enforced. This will be supported by ESWM Ordinance and ensuring that enforcement
system is in place. Education activities as well as incentives not only to enforcers but also to
waste sources will be adopted to increase compliance among waste generators.
Reduction at source will be mandatory. Backyard composting will be required among
households. Establishment and operation of on-site MRFs, with composting facilities and
storage for recyclable wastes, will be mandated to schools, agricultural and coastal
industries, and resorts. This will be a prerequisite to issuance of business permits. Point
source models will be developed to serve as learning sites for SWM stakeholders.

- 26 -
Participation of the barangays, BSWMCs, officials and SWM Coordinators will be sought.
They will be capacitated in providing technical assistance to waste generators.”
5.2 Waste Collection
Collection of segregated recyclable and compostable materials is the responsibility of
the barangay. Collection of mixed solid waste and residuals is the responsibility of
the LGU. The SWM plan should describe how the LGU will coordinate collection
activities with the barangay.
5.2.1 Overview
Formulate the waste collection plan based on the projected quantities of residual
waste. The waste collection plan shall include the waste collection for each type of
waste and the types of collection vehicles, collection frequency, collection points, and
types of containers. Furthermore, there should also be planned the sector(s)
involved in the collection of solid wastes.
5.2.2 Collection vehicle, equipment and area/routes
Procurement of collection vehicles shall be planned for each type of waste/generator
tnd service area in addition to the particular requirements for collection equipment
such as containers and/or temporary deposit if any. The vehicle list prepared with a
matrix or table with the current number of vehicles (compactors and/or dump trucks)
shall be indicated. Procurement plan shall be formulated based on the projection of
additional vehicles to be purchased by year type of collection vehicle, capacity, and
collection frequency and the rationale for selection of the equipment.
A list of collection routes or service areas should also be provided.
Formulate the plan for expanding the service coverage area including the plan to
provide waste collection service to the entire area of the LGU if applicable.
5.2.3 Private collection service
Should collection service be contracted out to private service provider(s), the
rationale for contracting out the service that includes a listing of service areas, types
of waste to be collected and transported together with the basic terms of the contract.
5.2.4 Storage/ Discharge of waste and setout
Formulate the plan or describe the types of containers or discharge method by each
group of waste generator type and service area including the rationale for selection of
the type(s) of container(s). Setout the requirements include the location of the
storage containers, schedule/frequency of collection, and others.

- 27 -
5.2.5 Collection of segregated recyclable materials
Describe the strategy for implementing segregated collection of recyclables in each
of the barangays including the types of materials or segregated wastes, types of
vehicles, collection frequency and types of containers.
Further, describe the assistance that the city/municipality will provide to the
barangay.
5.2.6 Collection of segregated biodegradable wastes
Formulate the plan for implementing the separate collection of biodegradable wastes
if applicable from each of the barangays including the types of vehicles, collection
frequency, types of containers. Also, describe the assistance the city/municipality will
provide to the barangay.
5.2.7 Collection of mixed solid waste/residual waste
Formulate the plan for collecting mixed solid waste (until segregated collection is
implemented in all barangays) and the plan for collecting residual waste.
Example:
“LGU’s waste collection service will be expanded to cover additional puroks in Barangays
Poblacion A, Poblacion B and Poblacion C. Barangays Alpha and Beta will also be included
in LGU’s waste collection area. No segregation, no collection policy will be strictly enforced.
All types of wastes will be collected from Public Market, Municipal Hall, Provincial Capitol,
health centers and Central Business District (CBD). Only segregated residual and special
wastes will be collected from households, schools, agricultural and coastal industries, resorts
and, government and private offices without available space for composting.
For barangays outside collection area, collection schedule will be arranged between
barangays and municipal LGU for collection of residual and special wastes. Collection points
will be designated.
SWM fees will be collected from all sources.”
5.3 Waste Reduction, Segregation, Recycling, and Composting
Segregation is a pre requisite to any waste diversion effort. It is often the most
challenging component of a solid waste management program as it is involved with
the public participation influencing the individual attitude and behavioral change.
Segregation is most efficient and cost effective as carried out at waste generation
sources.

- 28 -
Segregation, recycling and composting of segregated materials are the responsibility
of the barangay. However, the SWM plan should describe how the LGU will work
with the barangay to implement the programs.

APPENDIX-B
General Guidelines/Procedures in Conducting Waste Analysis and
Characterization Survey/Study
When conducting waste characterization survey/study, the following guidelines shall
apply unless modified by the Commission.
1) Waste composition – when analyzing solid waste composition, it is necessary to
obtain the following information: total quantities of waste, bulk (density), and
composition (physical)
Waste may be described as:
Readily biodegradable – garbage, paper, wood, leaves, trees.
Recyclable – textile, plastics, rubber, leather.
Mostly inert – metals, glass, dirt, ceramics, ash and stones
2) Sampling of solid waste – in order to obtain representative sample the following
steps should be undertaken;
a) subdivide the area into sub areas each representing a certain economic status
b) further subdivide the areas into residential, commercial, market, light industrial,
hospital, etc in case of municipal waste; and
c) collect a representative sample for each sub-area.
To adequately determine the composition, the generalized field procedure should
include the following processes;
a) As soon as the study area is selected and subdivided, a marked vehicle
collects refuse from each unit area. Each vehicle must be fully loaded and
brought into the sample processing site.
b) The load is placed on a clean, flat surface, mixed thoroughly, then formed into
a square about 30 cm high;
c) This is subdivided into quarters, two opposite quarters are discarded and the
two remaining quarters are thoroughly mixed again, formed into a square, and
again quartered. This continues until the desired refuse quantity is obtained
(usually about one cubic meter)
3) Sorting – when sorting the sample, the following guidelines shall apply
a) Sort the sample into major components
b) Weigh each component again

- 45 -
4) Statistical treatment of data – Data obtained is processed to determine the
following:
a) seasonal means
b) differences of generation between economic groups
c) differences in quantity and quality between seasons
d) others depending on objective of study such as NPK values.

APPENDIX-C: Concept for Computing Waste Diversion Ratio (WDR)
1. Definition of Waste Collection Area
Waste generation area is divided into the following three areas in view of the current
state for provision of waste collection service.
Area-A: Whole Administration Area of LGU
The whole administration area of LGU includes the Barangays provides waste
collection services in addition to the Barangays not providing waste collection
service.
Area-B: Whole Area of All Barangays Providing Waste Collection Service
The whole area of all the barangays includes the area providing waste collection
service in addition to the uncollected area.
Area-C: Waste Collection Service Area
The area provided with waste collection services. The area should be demarcated
through the field survey to identify the area of Puroks not covered with waste
collection services.
The areas explained above, Area-A, -B and –C, can be divided into the following
Figure for the better understanding as a visual information.
Area-A:
LGU Administration Area
Potential Solid Waste Generation Amount in LGU Administration Area
Area-B:
Total Admin. Area of the Barangays Providing Collection
Service
Potential Solid Waste Generation Amount in Barangays
providing Waste Collection Service
Area-C:
Actual Waste Collection Service Area
Actual Solid Waste Amount Collected in the Waste
Collection Service Area (Discharged Waste Amount or
Collected and Transported Waste Amount)
