This document provides an overview and analysis of compliance with Republic Act 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000) in Barangay Central Signal Village Zones 3&5 in Taguig City, Philippines. It begins with background information on RA 9003 and a profile of the barangay. It then describes the objectives, procedures, tools, and survey used to assess compliance. Key findings include that residents are aware of waste policies but bins are lacking, and waterways remain dirty despite cleanups. Recommendations include joining community cleanups, adding more bins, and intensifying penalties for violations.
