According to Ralph Raven Soriano (2000), waste management are the activities and
action required to manage waste from it invention to its final disposal. So we have 5 different
types of waste management, the 1st one in the liquid waste that is commonly found in household
and industries the 2nd one is the solid waste rubbish include variety of items found in household
and industries, the 3rd one is the organic waste all food, waste garden waste manure and rotten
meat are classified as organic waste the 4th one is the recyclable rubbish all waste items that
can be converted into products tattoos can be used again and the laser one is the hazardous
waste includes all types of rubbish that are flammable, toxic, corrosive and reactive. Those
waste can be harm and distract our environment but the solid rubbish management for me is the
best thing to do deadlock those unnecessary things that you can see everywhere. According to
Jan Marion Mercado (2009) Water management is about being more efficient with raw materials
and making the most of each stage of the production process. Life cycle of a product, whether
you sell goods or service, everything you produce has a life-cycle. It begins with how you
manufacture, distribute, use and then reuse and recycle the product.
In this stage we will going to discuss the problem in Barangay San Francisco
Concepcion, Tarlac. Where we will going to solve those problems written below ;
•Improper waste segregation- Improper Waste Segregation is the contradictory of the 3R’s
(Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) in the idea of waste management. It is the improper human
activity of doing waste ladder that is reflected as one of the main causes of calamities in our
country. It is a negative action that leads to hazardous consequences for the environment.
•Improper waste disposal- Waste disposal can be defined as any method used to discard
•Improper waste management- Negative effects of improper waste management not only ends
in a disgusting view but also affects the overall economy of a country. State has to spend a lot
of money to counter the effects of improper waste management. Moreover, animals depended
on the environment also face a great threat due to the oil spills and leaching of chemicals which
directly cause soil and water contamination. Burning of any disposed waste and plastic
•Irresponsible individuals- Those who are not liable to be called to account for actions, lacking
Improper disposal of waste can greatly affect the health of the population living nearby
the polluted area or landfills. Waste disposal workers and other employees in these landfill
facilities are at a greater risk. Exposure to improperly handled wastes can cause skin irritations,
blood infections, respiratory problems, growth problems, and even reproductive issues.
Stage 3.
IDEATE
According to Alline Wilson (2018, May 1) ideate means form an idea of imagine or
conceive due to improper waste disposal systems particularly by municipal waste management
teams waste heap up and become a problem. People clean their homes and place of work and
litter their surroundings which affects the environment and the commonly. Mismanagement of
can be directly linked to many life threatening disease like malaria, typhoid and other viral
infections. Landfill provides an out of sight out of mind rationally to the problem of waste
management.
Waste management can be done poorly. In a way that harms the environment, or it can be
care. In a manner that makes the earth cleaner and healthier. Waste emits these harmful
gasses, but waste recycling can reduce the impact. We should all be doing our part to keep our
world clean and free from dangerous pollutants, proper safety measures and waste disposal
methods make for a cleaner, safer world with less disease and lower potential harm to both
To prevent diseases in our environment we should know how to manage our waste. By
again. By this prevention and managing waste we can prevent pollution and release of toxins on
our natural resources. By separating those waste we can prevent dengue and malaria which is
the one that caused by improper waste disposal and by this problem also we can less the
pollution by step burning plastic most specially Plastic Bottles that can harm our lungs and heart
to breath. So with the partnership and support of the Barangay Captain and Barangay
Councilors we write letter for the municipality office for the seminar that we will conducted for 3
days which is divided by the 3 sitio's of Barangay San Francisco Concepcion Tarlac the Sitio
Macabacle, Sitio Macangcong and Sitio Daue for the seminar contained ``No To Ratten
Rubbish, Yes to waste management “. This project contained of proper management plus the
5Rs-the Refuse, Reuse, Reduce, Recycle and Rot. This 5Rs, will help the Barangay to
Even if you try your best to reduce, reuse, and recycle your household will generate some
waste. In today's world, its simply impossible to completely steer clear of garbage and waste.
Instead it is best to focus your efforts on making a legitimate difference in the world around you
In this stage we will going to give and discuss the solution in the problem in the Define
stage.
•Proper waste segregation- The inclusion of other types of waste in recycling containers
causes several problems, all stemming from the fact that contamination reduces the quality of
recycled paper and plastic products. To prevent this, waste management firms need to spend
longer sorting improperly segregated waste, raising manpower costs. Contaminated recycled
products also sell for less, a loss that gets passed on to the customer.
•Proper waste disposal- Waste that is not properly disposed of can be hazardous to your
safety. Sharp object such as glass and rusty metals could cause serious injuries and infections,
especially for playing children that could put you in the hospital for a while. Pieces of plastic that
are not disposed properly end up choking animals in the environment and killing them. Some
kinds of environmental contaminants can also spread serious illness and disease if not disposed
of in the right way. Proper waste management and disposal removes all these hazardous
materials from the environment making it safer for both human beings and animals as well.
•Proper waste management- The most important reason for proper waste management is to
protect the environment and for the health and safety of the population. Certain types of waste
can be hazardous and can pollute the environment. Bad waste management practices can also
cause land and air pollution which can result in serious medical conditions in humans and
animals. Implementing good waste management practices not only helps to protect the
environment.
•Responsible Individuals- Every person has to make his or her own choices about protecting
the environment. If everyone in a democracy decided their vote didn't matter, nobody would
vote. If democracy can work, then so can environmental action. Think of it this way: all of us
have created this problem by neglecting the environment. That must mean that all of us can fix
the problem by protecting it. There are actions everyday people can take to protect the
environment.
First, we can recycle, reuse, and compost. Recycling involves cutting down on waste
and energy consumption by turning used items such as plastic bottles into new items. Reusing
involves cutting down on waste by reusing items such as grocery bags. Composting involving
using food waste to help create nutrient-rich soil rather than landfill waste. Much of that waste
ends up in landfills, where it produces greenhouse gases that make climate change worse.
Some of it ends up in the ocean, where it kills marine life. And creating new products
uses up a lot of energy. Yet, almost all of our waste can be recycled, reused, or composted.
Transport conservation is another thing we can do since one of the biggest sources of
greenhouses gases is transportation. Make better transport choices by choosing the least
damaging option.
Generally speaking, driving is more efficient than flying. Riding a bike is always better
than driving. Take a train, tram, or bus whenever one is available. Choose housing near to
where you go to school or work, and choose an efficient car. All of these things can reduce your

This are the materials needed to create pen holder. It is easy to make pen holder as long
as you have a passion to help and save our environment and you love what you doing, there’s
nothing to worry about it. You can also sell it if you want to earn profit and share it also to
everyone so that they can earn money for their family as well.

CONCLUSION
To meaningfully compare and decide among processing options that produce different
waste forms, more information than is currently available is needed on viable disposition
pathways for waste streams and the requirements they impose on the waste forms, and
characterization of the calcine. Each of these inputs is needed to establish a credible basis for
an informed choice between different proposed processing technologies and different waste
needed. To be truly comprehensive, such a plan would encompass all site inventories of
radioactive wastes and other nuclear materials. A key element of such a plan is a firm
knowledge of where the material is to go and what form it would be in to be acceptable. Until
those issues are resolved, the selection of any technical option is without a proper basis.
One purpose of a waste management plan is to treat uncertainties that prevent the full
resolution of the technical issues the regulatory issues, and the other program planning
