ANY COLLEGE Solid Waste Management Program

Information Drive
ANY COLLEGE

Rationale:

Proper Solid Waste Management (SWM) requires knowledge and understanding among stakeholders
in order to comply with existing laws. An information drive will therefore provide the needed stimulus for
all in order to start implementing the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2001 (Republic Act
9003).

Objectives:

1. Create awareness and understanding on some of the most important provisions of R.A. 9003
applicable in the cleanliness and beautification of ANY COLLEGE
2. Adopt and implement as applicable to the ANY UNIVERSITY Integrated Waste and Pollution
(W&P) Management Program the RA 9003 provisions on littering in public spaces and waste
segregation at source
3. Attain exemplary implementation of these provisions.

SWM Strategies and Activities:

1. Information Drive

a. Announcement of the existing RA 9003 provisions verbatim which are the focus of the ANY
COLLEGE-SWM by the Environmental Science Society (ESSOC) and the Student Council (SC).

Details of the announcement to the student body after the flag ceremony will cover the three
major thrusts of the ANY COLLEGE-SWM:
i. Littering in public spaces as stated in section 48(1), is punishable by “a fine of not less than
three hundred pesos (P300.00) but not more than One thousand pesos (P1,000.00) or render
community service for not less than one (1) day to not more than fifteen (15) days to an LGU
where such prohibited acts are committed, or both” (section 49a);
ii. Section 48(4): (4) Causing or permitting the collection of non-segregated or unsorted wastes,
for which 49(c) prescribes “a fine of not less than One thousand pesos (P1,000.00) but not
more than Three thousand pesos (P3,000.00) or imprisonment of not less than fifteen (15)
day but not more than six (6) months, or both’; and
iii. Section 57. Business and Industry Role – “…encourage […] through appropriate incentives
other than tax incentives to initiate, participate and invest in integrated ecological SWM
projects to manufacture environment-friendly products, to introduce develop and adopt
innovative processes that shall recycle and re-use materials, conserve raw materials and
energy, reduce waste, and prevent pollution and to undertake community activities to promote
and propagate effective SWM practices.”

The whole ANY COLLEGE population is therefore encouraged to practice non-littering, segregation of
waste, and if possible, adopt reduce, reuse, recycle. This announcement will start the conditioning of
students that they are liable and that the college will be adopting these measures to address prevalent
SWM problems.

b. Labeling of trash bins with photos of trash. As already suggested and agreed upon, a photo of the
various types of wastes will be included in the trash bins to guide users on where to place their wastes
(still under layout by the ESSOC) aside from the color coding below:

c. In addition, the old ESSOC project of a large netted bin for empty plastic drink bottles directly thrown
in it basketball-fashion will also be revived by the Student Council as suggested by SC adviser. 2 large
bins will be positioned at the back side of the building end-to-end to reduce the task of segregating
these bottles from the recyclable bins. Once stationed, an announcement will be made that all plastic
bottles to be shoot in said bins must be cleansed so that these are ready for selling or recycling.

The undersigned also suggests including a simple (letter-sized poster) above the bins as follows:

PROHIBITED
under R.A. 9003:
Littering in public: P300 penalty
Non-segregation of waste: P1500 penalty

This post, while still needing adoption, will reinforce the knowledge and understanding of stakeholders
about their responsibilities in SWM.

2. Adoption of community service where cash may not be available or while the cash penalty is not
yet adopted in a university resolution.
3. Application of the 3Rs and improvement of existing Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) or the
compost shed.
4. Income generation for the 3Rs.
Timeframe:

1. October 16: Initial Announcement after flag ceremony (student volunteers).


2. October 23: Posting of sticker labels in bins (SC).
3. 2-hours ANY COLLEGE-SWM Seminar: 25, October, Wednesday 10 am-12 nn with all officers
in the Organizational Chart.

Conclusion:

The Information Drive proposal may be implemented as soon as possible in consideration of the
existing laws enforced since 2001.

The rest of the strategies may be applied as resources become available and implementers are ready.
