2. Objectives:
Identify the classification of solid waste and the 3R’s of
solid waste management.
Perform proper waste disposal and management.
Value the importance of the approaches to ecological
solid waste management for safety and healthy
environment.
3. Review Questions:
What are the differences between cleaning and
sanitation?
What are the different types of sanitation?
How proper sanitation is important in our daily lives?
4. Solid Waste are the discarded household,
commercial waste, industrial waste, street sweeping,
construction debris, agricultural waste and
nonhazardous and non-toxic solid waste are the
concerns of reduction.
5. Republic Act 9003 (Ecological Solid
Waste Management)
refers to the systematic administration of activities,
which provide for segregation for segregation at source,
segregated transportation, storage, transfer processing,
treatment and disposal of solid waste and all other waste
management activities which do not harm the environment.
6. Classifications of Solid Waste
RESIDUAL WASTES are solid waste materials
that are non-compostable and non-recyclable. They
should be ecologically managed through the use of
Alternative Technologies or disposed through an
ecologically sound disposal facility.
8. Classifications of Solid Waste
RECYCLABLE WASTES refers to any waste
material retrieved from the waste stream and free from
contamination that can still be converted into suitable
beneficial use. These may be transformed into new
products in such a manner that the original product may
lose.
13. 3R’s of Solid Waste Management
Reduce- to lessen the amount produced.
Ex:
1. Take a reusable shopping bag or ecobag when going to
markets and malls instead of using cellophane.
2. You can use metal straws, spoon and fork instead of
availing plastic utensils from food restaurants.
14. 3R’s of Solid Waste Management
Reuse- to use materials again for a different purpose.
Ex:
1. Reusing plastic bottles, containers and jars for your drinks
and for freezing and storing food items.
2. Save wrapping papers and boxes to use again.
15. 3R’s of Solid Waste Management
Recycle- to create new product out of the waste
material.
Ex:
1. We can create flower design out of plastic spoon.
2. We can create origami out of old magazine and
newspapers.
16. Approaches to Ecological Solid Waste
Management
Segregation of wastes at source. All the members of the household
must be informed how to segregate wastes into compostable,
residual, recyclable and special or hazardous wastes.
There must be a separate container for each type of waste.
Segregate recyclables must be properly cleaned before storing
them in their respective container.
17. Approaches to Ecological Solid Waste
Management
Recyclable waste materials should be taken to the Materials Recovery
Facility (MRF) in every barangay or cluster of barangay where they received,
sorted processed and stored efficiently and in an environmentally sound
manner.
The residual wastes or the non-recyclable and non-compostable wastes
shall be transferred to a long-term storage or disposal facility of sanitary
landfill.
18. Assessment
1. It refers to the systematic administration of activities, which provide for
segregation for segregation at source, segregated transportation, storage, transfer
processing, treatment and disposal of solid waste and all other waste management
activities which do not harm the environment.
2. It refer to household hazardous waste.
3. It is the process of recovering and converting materials that can be used as raw
materials to produce another new products.
4. A waste material that can decay and be composted.
5. A method that you will practice when you lessen the amount of your garbage at
home.
19. Agreement/Assignment:
Make a video of yourself illustrating the proper ways of
waste disposal through executing the approaches to
ecological solid waste management in your own homes
within a minimum time frame of 3 minutes.
