As cited by Romero (2016), in her study. Every schools is one with the nation in
campaign of protecting our environment. It has been also the plea of every teachers to guarantee
the safety of the learners from danger that irresponsible garbage disposal may cause.
Romero also says that the integration of 4R’s like Reduction, Reuse, Recycle, and
Recovery in teachers’ lesson impact awareness and commitment to save learners in maintaining
an ecofriendly environment.
Thus, the schools are indeed taking practical actions in simplest ways in order to help and

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Five years ago, Presidential Proclamation No. 760, signed by former president Benigno
S. Aquino III, officially declared the month of January as Zero Waste Month. The proclamation
defined “zero waste” as “an advocacy that promotes designing and managing products and
processes to systematically avoid and eliminate the volume and toxicity of waste and materials,
and to conserve and recover all resources, and not indiscriminately dispose or burn them.
Even before the issuance of the proclamation, various nongovernmental organizations in
the Philippines have been trying to mainstream zero waste as a goal for our government. In fact,
PP 760 traces its roots to the first-ever Zero Waste Youth Convergence organized by Mother
Earth Foundation, in which 5,000 youth leaders issued a Zero Waste Youth statement calling for
the celebration of a Zero Waste Month.
January was chosen as Zero Waste Month because this was the month when Republic Act
No. 9003, or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, got signed. Many countries
around the world have expressed admiration for this landmark Philippine law, as it calls for a
decentralized waste and resource management system that also bans waste incinerators.
According to the National Solid Waste Commission, waste in Philippine cities and
municipalities is mostly composed of organics (52 percent). Recyclables comprise 28 percent,
and residuals (waste that can’t be reused, recycled or composted) 18 percent. Much of the waste
(80 percent, which is organics and recyclables combined) can be safely returned to nature or
industry without resorting to landfills and incineration.
However, the work does not end at the local government unit (LGU) level. Many LGUs
that have already been implementing zero-waste policies need strong support from national
government agencies and legislators. They have the power to enable an environment that
supports these policies by enacting laws and supporting the implementation of such laws that can
scale up the successes of LGUs doing the zero-waste approach.
Through proper segregation, organics can be composted in our homes, schools and
offices. We Marcial O. Rañola Memorial School supports the government by advocating
students to reduce our wastes in our surroundings, being responsible and mindful to our
environment.

A detailed investigation was made regarding the methods of practices associated with
sources, quantity generated, collection, transportation, storage, treatment and disposal of
Municipal solid waste in Mysore City. The data concerning to SWM in Mysore was obtained
through questionnaire, individual field visit, interacting with people and authentic record of
municipal corporation. Photographic evidences were also made about generation, storage,
collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of MSW. This study reveals that the present
system of MSWM in Mysore City is not satisfactory based on Municipal Solid Waste
Management & Handling Rules 2000 (Chandra, et al., 2009).
Another case study across North America conducted by Whoilistic Environmental
Consulting (WEC, 2007), yard and food waste make up over a quarter of all the ordinary garbage
we throw away. That's 25% by weight. In the U.S., that 25% is almost equally divided between
yard waste (32.6 million tons, or 12.8% of all MSW) and food scraps (31.7 million tons, or
12.5%). And then there's all the other organic stuff that could be composted: all the clothing,
towels, and bedding made of organic fibers, plus wood, old furniture and sawdust. Then there's
paper, which at 83 million tons accounts for another 30% of municipal solid waste. As of 2006,
the latest year for which figures are available, over 64% of the yard waste we throw away was
recovered and composted, as was 54.5% of the paper and cardboard. Only 2.6% of food waste
reached a compost heap.
Local studies
The experiences and practices of household waste management of people in a barangay
(village) in Manila, Philippines are documented. The data were gathered through an interview
with household members using open-ended questions. Interviews were also conducted with
garbage collectors as well as scavengers. Results showed that the households generated an
average of 3.2 kg of solid waste per day, or 0.50 kg/capita/day. The types of wastes commonly
generated are food/kitchen wastes, papers, PET bottles, metals, and cans, boxes/cartons, glass
bottles, cellophane/plastics, and yard/garden wastes. The respondents segregate their wastes into
PET bottles, glass bottles, and other waste (mixed wastes). No respondents perform composting.
It is worth noting, however, that burning of waste is not done by the respondents. The
households rely on garbage collection by the government. Collection is done twice daily, except
Sundays, and household members bring their garbage when the garbage truck arrives. However,
there are those who dump their garbage in non-designated pick-up points, usually in a corner of
the street. The dumped garbage becomes a breeding ground for disease-causing organisms. Some
household respondents said that it is possible that the dumping in certain areas caused the dengue
fever suffered by some of their family members. Mothers and household helpers are responsible
for household waste management. Scavengers generally look for recyclable items in the dumped
garbage. All of them said that it is their only source of income, which is generally not enough for
their meals. Most of the respondents said that garbage collection and disposal is the
responsibility of the government. The results of the study showed that RA 9003, also known as
the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, is not fully implemented in Metro Manila
(Bernardo, 2008).
This study highlights the results of the study that was conducted to analyze the solid
waste management practices of the waste generators, and the extent of their compliance with the
Republic Act 9003, otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.
The study was conducted in Bacolod City, Philippines in 2007. The findings of this study served
as basis in developing a handbook on solid waste management (Ballados, 2010).
The Motiong town government in Samar has vowed to intensify the implementation of its
Solid Waste Management Program after barangay chairmen here took at one-day
seminar-workshop on the program. The activity was held at the Legislative Building here last
Wednesday, August 29, Motiong Mayor Francisco M. Langi Sr. said 30 barangay chairmen of
his municipality attended said seminar-workshop sponsored by the town government conducted
Municipal Planning and Development Officer, Engr. Nicasio Permejo. Langi said all the
barangay chairmen were educated on the provisions of the Solid Waste Management Act of 2003
so that they would be acquainted with and help implement the law in their respective barangays
and propagate environmental preservation. He said the town government will strictly implement
the “no segregation, no collection policy” in all of Motiong’s barangays and urged the barangay
officials to put up a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) where they can segregate bio-degradable
and non-biodegradable waste materials. Such materials can be turned into a livelihood as,
according to Langi, “there is money in junk” (Abrematea, 2012).
