The document is a capsule proposal for a research project on the benefits of waste segregation to the environment. The project will be conducted at St. Dominic College of Asia in Bacoor City from July 18, 2013 to September 20, 2013. The objectives are to explore waste management strategies through conducting surveys and interviews at the college, promoting reuse and biological recovery of waste, and educating students on proper waste segregation. The methodology will involve stratified random sampling and distributing a survey to collect data from respondents. The significance is that the study will help provide information to minimize environmental damage from waste and reduce flooding caused by garbage in drainage systems.

B. Technical Description
Background Study:
Waste segregation accumulation has become a challenging aspect in the world today. The
volume of wastes generated in the world today surpasses municipal authority’s capacity to
manage it effectively. Services related to waste management have become inadequate and almost
unavailable as evidenced by proliferation of permanent waste piles and illegal dumping activities
in industrial and commercial residential areas. This inefficiency in waste segregation systems in
urban centers around the world is attributed to the rapid urbanization and lack of skilled waste
management measures and personnel. There is the need to develop a sound material-sound
society to ensure that solid waste is properly managed. Therefore, despite the challenges of solid
waste management, it is vital to harmonize environmental protection by formulating long-term
solutions to the issue of solid waste in across the world.
Objectives: General and Specific
General Objective:
The main aim of this study is to explore the waste management strategies. In order to meet this
objective it is particularly important to:
Conduct survey, interview and observation in St. Dominic College of Asia.
Prevent the generation of waste
Promote reuse of waste
Promote biological recovery of waste and recycling of materials.
To educate the Dominicans in terms of being aware of the certain possibilities, effects
and impacts of neglecting the proper waste segregation.

2. Target users / Beneficiaries:
Environment
People
And other life forms such as Animals

environment specifically for reducing garbages so that it couldn’t affect the drainage to cause
flash floods.

stratified-random sampling. The survey strategy will be used for data collection. A structured
questionnaire will be constructed for the survey and will be distributed to the respondents
through personal appearance. Participation of the respondents will be treated with utmost
confidentiality. Data will be analyzed and the analysis will look for the percentage and weighted
mean of responses on each items.
