THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SUBJECT
ChE 284 – SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES LOS BAÑOS

APRIL 2013
 RATIONALE

Sustainable solid waste management program is possible if there will be sufficient political
will in the part of the Local Government Unit (LGU). Because it is the responsibility of the
LGU to provide the means and capacity to have a good waste management practices.
Through establishing ordinances and initiating education and information campaign, citizens’
participation could be achieved. Solid Waste Management Facilities are essential tools not
only for the easy of processing of but also have a strong impact on the mindset of the people.

Most LGU have a negative impression about investing in their Solid Waste Management
Program (SWMP) because LGUs find it costly and impractical. But once properly designed
and implemented, SWMP could be income generating to the LGU as well as it could create
jobs for the people. This is proven by few LGU in the country. Development of related
industries could be achieved through the application of various technologies like
biodegradable and residual waste processing.

Some LGU may argue that every sustainable SWMP starts will the citizen’s participation. It
is correct at some points, but public initiative in segregation and applying SWM techniques
will be insufficient because if the end-pipe of the waste have no capacity to handle the solid
waste properly. In this case, the public’s effort to improve the SWM will be futile.

The efficiency of the SWM greatly relies on the proper segregation and diversion of solid
waste. Proper segregation relies on the knowledge and participation of the people. And the
participation of the people relies on the political will of the government to implement its
policies and to educate its people. This is why it all boils down to the integrity and
willingness of the government to make a difference.

 1. Introduction

Pursuant to the relevant provisions of R.A. No. 7160, the development and implementation of
an ecological solid waste management is one of the basic services a local government unit
should provide to its constituents. In the case of Rizal, Laguna, with the view of RA 9003,
this undertaking is long overdue.

The community of Rizal has been used to the traditional way of disposing its solid wastes
wherein garbage trucks will visit households weekly. On those years, the local government
has nothing to do but allocate funds in exchange of collection services and fees paid on
dumpsites of neighbouring towns. However, with the eventual closure of these dumpsites and
political changes, the town was left with no resort but to stand on its own solid waste
management guided by the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. R.A. 9003
provided for the ways on how a municipality should enforce and implement a good solid
waste management.

1.1. Purpose

The implementation of the R.A. 9003 and municipal ordinances which are yet to be
formulated and implemented as support to this endeavor are of prime consideration in
this plan. The success of a solid waste management at the local level depend primarily on
how the LGUs are able to implement the mandate given by the RA 9003 as well as how the
local community will respond to the local initiatives instituted. This 10-year Solid Waste
Management Plan (SWMP) will primarily deal with understanding the existing capacities and
the basic requirements in developing a sustainable Solid Waste Management practice in Rizal,
Laguna.

1.1.1. Vision related to solid waste management

Rizal’s vision is to establish a SWM program that would facilitate the development of
different environment conservation programs. A synergistic relationship will be established
among the environmental policy, making Rizal as a model municipality in terms of Solid
Waste Management.

1.1.2. Key issues facing the community

Several issues must be dealt with first. Number one in the list is the absence of regular solid
waste collection in the municipality. Due to some limitations, garbage collection is not done
on a regular basis and sometime the local citizens are not aware about its exact schedule.
Collection and transport of solid wastes is done only once a month by a private hauler. A
huge chunk of the expenses comes from the disposal fee of the solid waste to Calamba City.

Another issue about collecting the solid waste only once a month is the accumulation of
waste. This is one of the serious problems along the Poblacion area where most of the
population is located.

The LGU is proposing the establishment of Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) to

accommodate the segregation. Establishment of sanitary landfill can also be considered
because there is no existing landfill near the LGU.
Implementation of solid waste management technology such as briquette making, composting,
and residual waste processing will also be explored. Existing proposals and their feasibility
will be discussed.

Finally, there is still no specific group or unit established that is in-charge with dealing with
SWM and the different specific duties (e.g. Biodegradable Solid Waste Management
Committee) different committee has been established but it is still not enough as the LGU is
experiencing currently.

1.1.3. Goals for the plan, and how the plan will help to alleviate the issues facing the
community

To address some, if not most of the issues mentioned above the following recommendations
have been made:

 Eco-tourism through Sustainable Solid Waste Management

 Waste Segregation at Source
 Segregation Bins
 Organized Collection of Solid Wastes
 Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)
 Utilization of Different Technologies for SWM
 Diversion of Solid Waste to Income Generating Practices
 Accreditation of Mobile Junkshops
 Reward System
 Penalize violators
 Establishment of SWM Committee
 Communication Support Materials on SWM as IEC

For the waste segregation at source, the wastes are recommended to be separated into
Compostable/Biodegradable, Recyclable, Residual, and Special wastes. Segregation bins will
be used for the different kinds of wastes. This segregation will help lessen the amount of
wastes collected and dumped in Calamba. These bins will help people segregate. The
biodegradables are planned to be composted within the MRF. Other technologies involving
biodegradable waste could also be considered. The recyclables are suggested to be collected
by accredited junkshops. This will address the issue with scavengers and the security issue
that comes with them and from the roving junk buyers.

To further support this segregation, a satellite MRF will be put up in selected barangays.
Those that can’t don’t have the place and time to compost, sell their recyclables, or for any
other reasons, could deliver them in this MRF and/or composting facility. However,
guidelines of who can deliver their wastes there should be made so as not to pose any
additional/new problems with dealing with SW.

Once LGU administered solid waste collection was initiated. The LGU will have a strict
policy of collecting “residuals only”. To really know if the specific household or
establishment is following this policy, garbage bags should be placed by each household or
establishment separately. This is to know readily if there is a violation and who is responsible
for it.
The accredited mobile junkshops will also have their own schedule of collecting wastes. It is
suggested that there is this one place per area where people could put their recyclables. This
is so that the Junkshops will only have to go to that specific place, and not go around each
house anymore. This is for security purposes.

To really monitor if the policies that are existing and those proposed are/will be implemented
properly, proper delegation of powers, i.e. to Philippine National Police (PNP) and to other
municipal personnel should be done. Additional enforcers are also suggested, but if it is hard
to do this, Citizen could also be empowered. A citizen watch could also be campaigned. If
feasible, citizen suits should be made possible.

To further encourage the participation and compliance of the citizens, reward system is
recommended. Guidelines for this should be made.

1.2. Approach

This part of the SWMP will discuss the specific strategy that will be implemented through the
plan’s time frame. Continuous data collection and technology development will be the
essential part of the over-all approach.

1.2.1. Approach used in preparing plan

Brainstorming and knowing what output is expected should be done first. From there, data
collection is done. Secondary data are first gathered and then primary data. Several
approaches will be done to collect data for the plan. First would be collecting and compiling
of existing information related to SWM strategies that the LGU have. Collect some
information or data that the national or local government have that could be used for doing
the plan. There are also some previous studies done could be looked into. Interviews on
people involved with SWM should also be done to know the current situation and what they
want or suggest that should be done. If there are information gaps, primary data collection is
then commenced.

1.2.2. Data sources

Possible sources of data are:

 Municipal Government of Rizal

 Municipal Government of Los Baños
 DENR-EMB’s Best Practices for SWM of LGUs
 Provincial Government of Laguna
 Laguna Lake Development Authority
 Laguna de Bay Institutional Strengthening and Community Participation (LISCOP)
 University of the Philippines Los Baños

1.3. Acknowledgements
This proposal for 10-year SWMP was made possible through the cooperation of the Local
Government of Rizal. Especially to the Municipal ENRO – Mr. Frankie L. Concordia and
Councilor. Vina Lorraine Orolfo.

The lectures and activities during the class of Solid Waste Management Course (ChE 284)
handled by Professor Rex B. Demafelis with Engr. Gino M. Guerrero Engr. Leozar D.
Herrera, and Engr. Donna B. Libunao of the Chemical Engineering Department, University
of the Philippines Los Baños gave the necessary information and idea about formulating the
10-year SWMP.
 2. Rizal Profile

2.1. Bio-physical Profile

The municipality’s feature and location are two of the main consideration in planning the
appropriate SWM strategy to be implemented. This does not only include the topographic
properties but also the population and its economic activities.

Figure 1. Map and Location of Rizal, Laguna

2.1.1. Location

Rizal is an interior municipality of Laguna province located 25 kilometers from the

provincial capital of Sta. Cruz, about 13 kilometers from the city of San Pablo, 5 kilometers
to its adjoining municipality of Nagcarlan, and more or less 99 kilometers from the National
Laguna. The municipality of Rizal is bounded on the east by Nagcarlan, Laguna, on the west
by San Pablo City and on the south by Dolores, Quezon.

The municipality of Rizal, Laguna has a total land area of 2,790 hectares and is composed of
11 barangays. Among the barangays, Tala is the largest with approximately 1,705.33
hectares or 61.12% of the total land area of Rizal. Barangay Entablado and Antipolo are the
second and third largest Barangays with approximately 263 hectares or 9.42% and 241.94
hectares or 8.67% of the total land area, respectively. The Poblacion, which is composed of
two urban barangays (East Poblacion and West Poblacion), has the smallest land area with
7.77 hectares or 0.28% of the total area of Rizal.

2.2. History
Rizal, formerly a small town of Rizal, Laguna was only a barrio of Nagcarlan, Province of
Laguna. It was called Barrio Pauli which came from the word “Pauli-uli” or moving back
and forth after the meandering creek close by.

In 1912, Barrio Pauli obtained its municipal status with Pedro Urrea, Sr. as its Municipal
President. It then became the municipality of Rizal, named after the country’s national hero,
Dr. Jose P. Rizal (Figure 2). However, two years after its independence the administration of
Rizal was returned to Nagcarlan because of the inability of the municipal officials to provide
the basic needs of the government necessary to its operations. Consequently, the former
municipality then became Barrio Rizal, again of Nagcarlan, Laguna.

On December 19, 1918, Acting Governor-General Charles E. Yeather issued an Executive

Order No. 58 increasing the twenty seven municipalities of the Province of Laguna to twenty-
eight by separating Barrio Rizal from the municipality of Nagcarlan and reorganizing the
same into an independent municipality comprising the eight barrios of Antipolo, Entablado,
Maiton, Laguan, Pauli, Talaga, Tuy and Pook. That took effect in January 1, 1919.

After its creation, Fortunato U. Arban and Agustin Vista were appointed Municipal President
and Municipal Vice President respectively, until they got elected in the same positions during
the first local elections in 1919.
 Figure 2. The Municipal Hall, Rizal, Laguna

2.3. Population
Rizal has a total population of 16,820 in 3,477 households; with an average household size
are 4.35. Recorded 2.67% increase in population per year. Religion is dominated by
Christians with the majority who are Roman Catholics (86.11%), Iglesia Ni Cristo (3.55) and
Aglipayan (3.44%). Language spoken is Tagalog.

The Rural Health Center in Rizal is located in Barangay Pauli 2 and it serves all the
barangays in the municipality. In 2001, there were 15 live births per 1,000 population and six
deaths per 1,000 populations. The ten leading causes of mortality are cardiovascular
diseases like pneumonia, cirrhosis of the liver, status asthmasticus, cerebrovascular accident,
cancer, chronic glomerulonepthritis, typhoid fever, pulmonary tuberculosis and diabetes
mellitus.

Some of the health issues to be addressed in the municipality are malnutrition among children
prevalent in some of the barangays. Absence of hospital in the municipality which forced
local residents to go nearby municipalities for hospital care attention, and inadequate day care
centers.

Overall, the literacy rate of the total population is 97.71%, which is quite higher than the
national average of 93.4%. Among the ranks of municipal officials and permanent employees,
9.68% (6 of 62) have achieved graduate degrees (MS, Ph.D. and equivalent courses), 64.52%
are college graduates, 14.52% vocational courses/2nd Year College, and 11.29% high school
and high school graduates. Majority of the personnel are of business and related courses (e.g.
BSBA, BSC, Economics) comprising about 34% in all.

2.3.1. Current Population for each Barangay

Bulk of the population in the LGU is located along the National Highway from San Pablo
City to Nagcarlan, Laguna. The urban area is divided to the West and East Poblacion these
are location were the population has the highest density (26.3 Person/km2). The density map
and population profile are shown in Figure 3 and Table 3.

2.3.2. Projection of Rizal Population (10-year).
In preparing a comprehensive 10-year SWMP, demographic changes through time must also
be considered. The solid waste generated has a strong relationship with the number of people
located in the LGU. The historical growth of population in Rizal is shown in Table 4.

Table 4. Historical growth of population Municipality of Rizal

Year Population Increase/decrease Growth rate

1950 3,901 Increase 2.82
1960 5,390 Increase 2.73
1970 6,539 Increase 1.95
1975 8,097 Increase 4.37
1980 7,510 Decrease -1.49
1990 9,501 Increase 2.38
1995 11,573 Increase 3.96
2000 12,262 Increase 1.53
2005 13,823 Increase 2.14
2012 16,820 Increase 2.67

To project the population we could project the expected growth rate using the average growth
rate for the past 10 years. The average growth rate of the population is 2.41%. This will then
be used the population for the next 10 years. The projected population is shown in Table 5.

Table 5. Projected Population for 2014-2024

This data will be used in the calculation of the solid waste generation of the LGU for the
specific period of time. It will important for the required capacity building and Information
and Education Campaign (IEC) in the community.
2.4. Economic Profile and Land Use

2.4.1. Economic and Financial Profile

The NSCB classified Rizal as a 5th class municipality. As probably the poorest in the
province, it is very much dependent on the national government or its existence and operation.
Records from the Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF) have shown that Rizal
received the lowest IRA from the national government compared with other municipalities of
Laguna in 2008.

Rizal is considered an agricultural municipality as majority of its land is devoted to

agricultural activities. The major agricultural products are coconut, banana, lanzones, rice,
vegetables, and root crops. The municipal profile is shown below:

Agriculture
Crop production
Total Land area devoted to agriculture : 2,580.79 (92.5%)
Total CARPable are : None
Number of farmers : 115 (Rice farmers)

Forestry
Total area of production forests : 17.259 has. (0.62%)

Mining
No mining activities exist in the municipality

Generally, Rizal has a present (2011) labor force of 9,098 constituting 57.4% of its total
population, who are engaged in major industries to include agriculture and fisheries,
commerce and tourism. Farmers are also engaged in inland fisheries raising tilapia and other
freshwater fishes at an annual production of 6,885 tons from their ponds and from Calibato
Lake. Other industries are small-scale businesses that include bakery, homemade candies,
pastries, Lambanog, slipper and stainless making, copra production and coconut oil bottling.

Existing commercial industries include canteen/eatery, general merchandise, construction

supplies/hardware, trucking services, trading, computer shop, gasoline station, and cell
centers (cell site).

2.4.2. Land Use

Based on the existing land use, almost all of the 11 barangays engage agricultural farming,
except barangay east and west poblacion. The proposed plan identified areas that are suitable
for agricultural practices. This includes the prime agricultural lands and those that are
presently planted with tree crops. These areas which are suitable for agricultural practices
have been classified based on the Land Capability and Soil suitability Analysis. The map for
land use is shown in Figure 4.
 Figure 4. Land Use of Rizal Laguna

Urban land use would entail on the Poblacion area of the municipality. This would encompass 7.773
hectares or 0.28% of the total land area. It is broken down to residential, commercial, institutional,
industrial, parks, and open spaces. The breakdown of the Land use is shown in Table 6 and Table 7.

2.5. Major Transportation Routes and Traffic Conditions.
The traffic inside the LGU is usually light to moderate. Traffic becomes heavy are during the
time 7-8AM and 3-5PM, this are the time where classes on schools starts and ends This is
also the time when working hour starts and ends.
As seen in Figure 5, the red arrows represent the roads accessible to public utility jeepneys.
All roads are accessible to private vehicles. The arrow shows the route of jeepneys from San
Pablo City going to Nagcarlan Laguna.

Figure 5. Route of Public Utility Vehicles along the Poblacion Area

Aside from the dump trucks, only small to medium vehicles frequent the area. Buses only
appear when there are fieldtrips to the Tayak Hill and other tourist destinations in Rizal. The
flow of vehicle around the Tayak Hill is shown in Figure 6. Trucks also pass through the
LGU frequently when there are deliveries and transport of materials. Most of the times
jeepneys and private cars are the vehicles that can be seen.

Figure 6. Transportation Route Aroun Tayak Hill

2.6. Physical Characteristics

Data on the physical characteristics of the LGU will be beneficial in the assessment of the
environmental impact of different activities for solid waste management. An example of
which is to determine if the land is suitable for the establishment of a Sanitary Land Fill
(SLF)

2.6.1. Geology
Large portion of Rizal has 0-3% slopes or level to nearly level which occupies 1,476 has or
52.9% of the total land area is suitable for cultivation as well as for urban development due to
no apparent to very slight erosion potential. However, 291.67 ha (10.5% of the total land area
of Rizal) has steeply undulating to very steeply sloping and rolling land with 15% and above
slope. Thus, this area is considered marginally suitable to not suitable for cultivation and
urban use due to severe to highly severe erosion potential.

Figure 7. Land Capability Map

Moreover, the remaining 1,022 has or 36.6% to total area has slope category of 3-8% to 8-
15% or gently sloping to moderately undulating lands. These lands were considered
moderately to marginally suitable for cultivation and urban development. These lands
however, may be slightly to moderately susceptible to erosion.

2.6.2. Hydrology
The municipality of Rizal has mainly good sources of ground reserves, numerous shallow
wells, and natural springs. Most of the water used for domestic consumption comes from
natural springs at San Miguel in Barangay Pook where its main reservoirs are located.
Groundwater reserves and shallow wells were also found to be fit for domestic use, thus,
water supply has not been a recurring problem of the municipality.
 Figure 8. Bodies of Water in Rizal

The Municipality of Rizal has river system namely: the Mayton and May-it River. The
Mayton River is located at the southern part of Rizal and has its source between Barangay
Tala and Pook traversing Barangay Tuy, Pauli #1, and Antipolo at the right side of the river
and barangay Tala at its left side down to Calibato Lake, thus, making barangays main
tributaries of the said lake excluding the creek at Barangay Talaga. May-it River, on the other
hand, has its main source at Nagcarlan, Laguna where it traverses Barangay Pook, Laguan,
Pauli 1, Pauli 2, and Entablado making these barangays a tributary of Laguna Lake where this
river is directed. These rivers are also used for bathing, laundry, and irrigation.

Calibato Lake is located with San Pablo City, Barangay Tala and Barangay Antipolo. An
approximate portion of 41.25 has been in Rizal and it is mainly used for fishing activities.
Fishing cages were built along the lake and fishermen are mostly producing tilapia.

2.6.3. Air

Average of the monthly recorded wind direction values from 1990-2010 (Figure 9) shows
that the prevailing wind direction is from the North East towards the Municipality. For 2004,
the particulate matter, PM10, levels in the campus measured by Agromet in are below the
limit set by DENR-EMB (Figure 10).

Figure 9. Prevailing Wind Direction.

 Figure 10. Average Daily Particulate Matter 10 (ug/m3)

2.6.4. Climate

There are two pronounced seasons in Rizal, the dry and the wet seasons. The dry season is
from February to June and its wet is from July to January. The hottest months occur in March
and April and the coldest months are December and January.

The annual average temperature recorded for the municipality of Rizal in 1990 was 27.4°C.
The monthly maximum temperature was in May (29.3°C), while the minimum monthly
temperature recorded was in January (25°C).

The figure below shows the monthly average temperature and %relative humidity,
respectively, in the area; with summer months having the highest temperature (i.e. May)
and %RH (i.e. April).

2.6.5. Soil

According to Figure 5. Rizal has five types of soils namely Macolod Clay Loam, Lipa Clay
Loam, Macolod Clay Loam (Steep Phase), Luisian Clay Loam, and Mountain Soil. Majority
of the soil type in Rizal is in the clay category. Clay type of soil is suitable for sanitary
landfill application because it prevents the seepage of water and leachate.

Figure 12. Basic Soil Type Map

 3. Current Solid Waste Management Conditions

The current profile of Rizal for their solid waste management is that their population is
16,820 for the 11 barangays. The total number of household is 3,477 and the average member
per household is 4.35. The average growth rate of the population is 2.67%.

3.1. Institutional Arrangements

Through the Mayor’s Office, various institutions ensure the solid waste management in Rizal,
Laguna. Through these institutions, SWM services are provided to the municipality. The
chain of command of these institutions is shown in Figure 13.

Currently, the SWM is supervised mainly by the MENRO. He is in-charged in facilitating the
different projects namely the establishment of MRF, the collection of SW and the Eco-
tourism program of the municipality. The Committee on Agriculture and Environment is
composed of designated municipal councillors. They are assigned in policy making and legal
works of every project.
3.2. Inventory of Equipment and Staff

The available logistics for SWM in the LGU will be important information for capacity
building and budget calculation. From the following data the required capital expenditure and
operating expenditure could be derived.

3.2.1. Personnel Working in SWM

Currently the collection is done by the people manually, since 2010 the collection facilitated
by the LGU was terminated that’s why people became accountable to their own waste if they
want it to be collected. The responsibility of the personnel is to facilitate the private hauler
during their collection and to maintain the cleanliness of the area near the Poblacion.

There are currently three job items, but when there is an increase in the accumulation of solid
waste, usually the LGU hire four additional personnel to assist the SWM practices. In case
the solid waste collection was resumed and the MRF was already established, the proposed
number of SWM Staff will be assigned to be responsible in the collection and operation of
the MRF. They will also facilitate in the segregation at the “end-of-pipe” for the possible
recovery and reduction of the amount of solid waste that proceeds to the landfill.
3.2.2. Equipment for SWM
There are two dump trucks available in the LGU one is functional and the other needs some
repairs. The capacity of the functional truck is 4 cu.m., while the dilapidated truck’s capacity
is 3 cu.m. The amount required for the repairs of the dilapidated truck is approximately
P200,000.00. The list of heavy equipment available is shown in Table 9.

Equipment such as shredder and grader are currently being requested. The World Food
Program has pledged to the LGU to provide a shredder to accommodate their composting
program. The LGU has also successfully loaned and amount of P7,000,000.00 to buy
equipment necessary for their MRF.

3.2.3. Staff Training Done

Currently, no training is done on the staff responsible for the collection and segregation. But
members of the Agriculture and Environment Committee attend seminars and discussion with
different LGUs in Laguna and in the country about present problems and practices in SWM.

3.3. Discussion of Current SWM Practices

To better understand the existing practices, the discussion is divided to SWM programs, Solid
waste collection, and Public Awareness Campaign. A summary of practices for each
barangay is also presented.

3.3.1. Solid Waste Management (SWM) Institution and Program

- NO Created Municipal/City Solid Waste Management Board yet
- NO Formulated Ten Year Solid Waste Management Plan yet but leaders
are now on stage of preparing it
- There are 3 personnel involved in SWM services – a job order driver of
dump truck and two municipal waste collector/helper headed by the
designated MENRO (Municipal Environment and Natural Resource
Officer) of the town
 - The municipality owns two dump trucks (one fully functional and one
dilapidated)
- There are long overdue Ordinance(s)/Resolution(s) on Solid Waste
Management which are not implemented
- Municipal MRF’s structure is now on construction
- Two barangays have established their own barangay MRF but are not fully
operational
- Town has no dump site or sanitary landfill.
- Depends on a private collector (Hain hauler) for collection and disposal of
wastes

3.3.2. Solid Waste Collection

- Volume of waste generated per day 2,354.8 Kgs. Based on 0.14 Kg
/pax/day
- Conducted Waste characterization study: August 2012
- Mixed wastes are collected by a private hauler once a month
- Mandatory waste segregation is not implemented

3.3.3. Public Awareness Campaign

- Barangay officials were given some seminars and trainings on SWM
- There are no IEC materials prepared for SWM campaign yet
After the passage of RA 9003, the municipality of Rizal, Laguna has not been active on
enforcing the law to provide its citizens an ecological solid waste management. Political will
on implementation of RA 9003, allocation of enough funds, campaign for waste segregation,
Implementation of greening Reforestation were issues and challenges identified by the
implementers to be reasons for this case.
The Mayor, in his first year on office stood on the premise that barangays shall be the one to
manage the wastes of its constituents in the light of RA 9003. With this the barangay
chairpersons were gathered to discuss their current ways on managing solid wastes with focus
on the installation and implementation of Materials Recovery Facility, as suggested by the act.
The Summary of SWM practices observed in the different barangays of Rizal is discussed in
Table 10.

The barangays on poblacion which generates bulk of the municipal wastes depend on the
collection implemented by the municipal government. While Antipolo, Talaga are having
their own collection, they are just doing it once or twice a month. Tala, Pook and Pauli 2,
were collecting biodegradable wastes only and giving it to farmers who are turning these
wastes into fertilizer inputs. These barangays also stresses the presence of scavengers who
collects wastes from households in exchange of payments. Remote barangays (upland) such
as Laguan and Entablado doesn’t do any collection since their residents have many spaces
and large backyards where they can dig and bury their wastes on.

Barangay leaders admit that they find it difficult to teach constituents to do segregation.
However, many households somehow do it by selling recyclable wastes to scavengers and
junkshops. Majority of the barangays doesn’t allocate funding for SWM. Pook, Pauli 2,
Talaga, and Tala appropriate some amount but only for the honorarium of barangay aids that
help in the collection of wastes. Since Antipolo and Talaga have initiated establishment of
their own MRF, the municipality included in its Annual Investment Plan an amount of
200,000 pesos to support such project.

3.4. Processing Facilities

Only two barangays were able to establish their own Materials Recovery Facilities with the
help of WFP (World Food Program). This was done through the initiative of the Barangay.

 Figure 14. The Structure Built in the LGU MRF site.

Although there were attempts of putting up their own, most of the barangays found no
suitable MRF sites. The Poblacions were composed of all residential areas giving no space
for MRF installation. Some chairpersons tried to provide spaces or digs for dumping of
wastes. However, these pits were eventually filled. This also happened to the dumpsites
established on different barangay. These sites were already closed and not operational. The
list of existing and projected processing facilities is shown in Table 11. A centralized LGU
MRF is also under construction phase, the LGU is planning to also establish a sanitary
landfill near the area. A land area of 3,318 sq.m is allotted for the centralized MRF and SLF.

3.5. Final Disposal

A private collector named Hain Hauler based in Calamba City is collecting and disposing the
solid waste of Rizal. The distance of the disposal site is approximately 55 km. The distance of
the disposal site to the residential area is less than 500 m. Collection is done only once a
month and the LGU pay approximately P500,000.00 per year to the private hauler.
.
3.6. Special Wastes

This kind waste is handled separately. Scrap tires are bought by junk shops and used oils are
used as termite repellent. Medical waste are buried and solidified by cement in a pit behind
their medical centre. Busted florescent lamp are bought by junk shops and some are collected
by Hain Hauler

3.7. Information and Education Campaign (IEC)

There is no comprehensive IEC program implemented on the citizens. But the government
officials attend seminars on awareness campaign about SWM. The inclusion of SWM
strategies in the primary education curriculum is being considered.
3.8. Cost and Revenues

The annual budget for SWM for the year of 2012 is P582,104.60. Operation and maintenance
expenses are worth P361,640.60 while the 220,464.00 is for the personal service (salary of
personnel). The LGU also pays additional 500,000.00 for the private solid waste hauler.

The LGU collect fees for solid waste management services. A flat rate of P20.00/month is
collected for residential, commercial establishment, and industries. For the 3,477 households
P834,480.00 is collected. On the other hand there are 347 commercial establishments and
industries in the LGU, this account to P83,280.00/per year collected from commercial
establishments and industries.
 4. Waste Characteristics

4.1. Disposed Waste

The Waste Analysis and Characterization Study conducted by Laguna de Bay Institutional
Strengthening and Community Participation (LISCOP) last August, 2011 will be used for the
formulation and calculation needed for the 10-year SWMP.

Figure 15. Types of Waste Collected and Proportion

For the population of 16,820 for the calculated average solid waste generated per day is
2,354.8 kgs. Based on this data, the generation per day per person is 0.14 kg. The distribution
of amount (in kg) of waste per type is presented in Figure 16 according to their rank.

Figure 16. Amount of Solid Waste by Type (in kg.)

4.1. Projected Waste for the Next 10-Years
Using the projected population, WACS, generation of 0.14 kg per person per day and the
assumption the daily waste production was calculated for the next ten years. The assumption
is that due to the intensive implementation of the SWMP and IEC there will be a projected
reduction in the amount collected by 15% yearly. Except for the yard waste which is held
constant. The recyclable waste turnout was assumed to increase by 5%. The assumption is
shown in the Table below:

Table 12. Assumed Effects of SWMP.

Using the effects of SWMP’s implementation and multiplying the change in population. The
generated SW for the next 10 years is shown in Table 13. This will be used for the capacity of
different facilities like the Composting, MRF, and SLF calculation. The revenue from the
recyclable materials can also be derived from it.

Table 13. Projected Generation of SW for the Next 10 Years

The computed generation for the year 2024 will be 261,272 kg/ year. A decrease will be
observed due to the implementation of the SWMP from the generation on 2012 which is
equal to 506,272.7 kg. This accounted to almost a 100% reduction in solid waste generation
after 10 years.
 5. Legal and Institutional Frame Work

The existing institutional framework for SWM is shown already in Figure 13. Presently there
is no existing ordinance about SWM but the proposal for these ordinances will be discussed
in Section 9. SWM is a social imperative. Having an ecological solid waste management is a
concern of everyone. Thus, RA 9003 will only be realized if all stakeholders will be part of
its fulfilment.
The stakeholder’s analysis was done to identify the beneficiaries and implementers of
Solid Waste Management and MRF installation and implementation.

SWOT Analysis was vital to the projection of the success of policy. The barangay
leaders with some citizens were gathered to identify the Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities and Threats of fully implementing RA 9003.

It showed that households are willing to pay for the disposal of their wastes. This will address
the municipality’s weakness of having meager funds to support proper collection and disposal
of wastes. The MRF to be installed will need workforce for its operation. These funds that
may come from households will be allocated for MRF operations.
Though there are few residents practicing segregation, the LGU especially barangay leaders
shall promote public awareness and encourage segregation at source to the whole community.
An ordinance and resolutions will institutionalize and provide authority and power for proper
implementation.
The poblacion which generates bulk of the municipal wastes have no MRF sites. To solve
this, the barangays could either cluster to form their joint MRFs or more attainably, the
municipality has to establish a sufficient Materials Recovery Facility that will cater the need
for MRF of these barangays. Moreover, as seen on bot SWOT and FGD results, the existing
MRFs at Talaga and Antipolo are deemed insufficient though they reduce the collectibles of
the municipality.
 6. Plan Strategy

6.1. Vision
The plan is to avoid, reduce and manage the solid waste through source reduction, waste
minimization measures, waste segregation, and establishment of solid waste management
facilities.

6.2. Target
According to the selected program, the estimated reduction for the various types of
waste will be the following: For biodegradables, an expected reduction of 15% is projected to
be diverted to the composting facility. For residuals, a projected 15% will be reduced since
products out of residuals do not have a large market share yet. Recyclables is seen to have
increase of 5% due to the efforts of the LGU to collect these kinds of waste and have
additional income.

6.3. Strategies
These targets could be achieved by passing specific ordinances that controls the usage
and disposal of the specific wastes like biodegradable, residual, and the controlled collection
of recyclable wastes. The main strategies to be used are the establishment of the MRF to
accommodate the segregation and to improve the IEC of the citizens. The creation of high-
value products for the SW collected will give a huge opportunity for additional jobs and
income for the LGU. The strategy framework about the flow of SW is shown in Figure 17.

Figure 17. Projected Flow of Solid Waste After Collection

 7. SWM System

7.1 Source Reduction

Source reduction programs to be implemented through specific ordinances that abide to the
target SW minimization by R.A. 9003. For every three years there will be an inspection that
the 25% decrease in residual waste generation is observed.
Biodegradable
Biodegradable are processed by the citizen to compost or bury at backyard. This will be
encouraged to be done at source through specific ordinances and incentives.
Recyclable
Promote the reduction of recyclable waste through increased campaign on the use of re-
usable materials. These can be done on creating ordinances for food chains and food stalls
that uses a lot of recyclable materials.
Residual
No plastic cups, styro-cups, containers or ice chest, sando bags, plastic spoon and
forks, straws will be use or there will be an effort to limit these kinds of utensils. Also, there
will be an effort to promote buying in bulk rather than in sachet or tingi. This could be
achieved through IEC and incentives.

7.3. Segregation, Recycling, and Composting

Waste segregation, recycling, and composting are essential components of the solid
waste management strategy in Rizal. This could provide additional income to the LGU and
also minimize the cost in solid waste collection and disposal. The implementation procedure
and plans regarding these processes will be discussed in this section.

7.3.1 Segregation

MRF Establishment

A Materials Recovery Facility will be established to accommodate the segregation of

collected solid wastes. The municipal MRF will serve as the storage area of waste prior to
classifying it whether it will be composted, recycled, or brought to the sanitary landfill. The
MRF will reduce the amount of waste brought to the landfill, thus reducing the transport and
disposal cost. Additional income can also be generated from recyclable and compost product.

The ecological Solid Waste Management in Rizal, Laguna will be best directed and
mechanized by enacting a resolution and Ordinance on the Implementation of RA 9003 and
providing regulations and penalties thereof to fulfill the mandates of the law. This will also
fuel the implementation and installation of the Municipal Materials Recovery facility which
is vital to the realization of an efficient and institutionalized Solid Waste Management in
Rizal, Laguna.
At present, the LGU’s waste is facilitated by a private hauler where collection is taking place
irregularly, thus the LGU feel the pressure brought by the problem of solid waste. The LGU
shall start to intensify information and education campaign in the barangays about waste
segregation at source. Generally, segregation is limited to recyclables and reusables and it is
supported by a network of ambulant junk buyers operating within the municipality and linked
to major junk shops in the adjacent municipalities.

For the Municipal Government to push for the full implementation of the Ecological Solid
Waste Management Act (RA 9003) there shall be the establishment of the Materials
Recovery Facility (MRF) coupled with a Rapid Composting System. The construction of the
facility will entail enhancement of the facility that would include the following sub-
components:

1. Construction of access road,

2. Electrification
3. Water supply system
4. Fencing
5. Procurement of dump truck

7.3.1.1. Location

The Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) and a proposed Sanitary Landfill (SLF) will be both
located in Brgy. Tala, as shown in Figure 18.

Figure 18. Location of the Proposed Centralized MRF

7.3.1.2. Enhancement of the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)

The MRF is also located in Brgy. Tala and is 2-km away from the town proper, the same
route leading towards the proposed Tayak Adventure and Nature Park. The area is an old
dumpsite of the municipality which was utilized in the late 90’s. The LGU has already started
the construction of the MRF (Figure 18). This has an area of 3,318 square meters which the
LGU acquired only this year. Based on Figure 19, notable is the existing fence enclosing the
area.

Figure 19 On-going construction of the MRF

The full implementation of Republic Act 9003, otherwise known as the Ecological Solid
Waste Management Act of 2000, fuel the search for the cheap but efficient system/process
that can be put up in the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) established by the Local
Government Unit (LGU) or by the interested private operator in the country.

The Material Recovery Facility and Rapid Composting System, the system that the LGU will
implement, will include organic products derived from the waste management treatment thru
the rapid composting system (RCS) using plastic metal separator and Material Recovery
Facility (MRF-BioD).

7.3.1.3. Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) Process and System

The installed system will address the needs of established MRF to process collected garbage
by segregating inorganic waste and processing bio-waste into an environment friendly
fertilizer in a very short time, roughly 24 hours.

The machine and system has (5) major components or generating scheme designed to handle
expected volume of garbage generated by the host city or municipality in the eight (8) hours
operation.
7.3.1.4. Description of the Five (5) Major Components of the Technology

Component I - Deodorization & Sanitation of Garbage at Source

The collection of garbage at source and transporting it to the destined site is always a
problem to people living along route. To deter objections and prevent danger to the health of
the people living in the community, the garbage truck is sprayed with deodorizer/sanitizer
before living the area. The sprayed deodorizer is biological and contains beneficial microbes.
The crew of the dump truck in its daily collection routine will conduct this operation.

Component 2 – Segregation of Garbage Waste

Reduction of the garbage waste is the purpose of this component. Raw garbage is
composed of 70-75% recyclables and 25-30% bio-waste. Inert materials account to about 1-
2% of the solid waste composition.
The process of segregation is done as follows:
1. Holding bin received garbage from truck;
2. Flatbed conveyor slowly conveys the garbage to the place receptacle of the
power grinder machine. While moving slowly, segregators separate
recyclables assigned to each of them respectively and place them in special
boxes for papers, glass, metals, plastic, cardboard and others. The flat bed
conveyor is also provided with magnet or metal separators to screen metals
before reaching the power grinder. Selected recyclables goes storage area
through a conveyor and packed for disposal to junk market outlets.

Component 3 – Grinding and Squeezing of Bio-waste

Segregated bio-waste goes to the power grinder machine through an uptake screw
conveyor. Attached to the conveyor are the special gadgets designed for specific purpose.
The first gadget holds the bio-inoculants that sprinkle the waste materials as it drops to the
power grinder. The second gadget, holds the solid activator and nutrient rich additives is mix
with the waste material as it goes to power grinder where it is mechanically reduced granules.
Granulated bio-waste goes to squeezer/hydrator machine through a screw conveyor where the
moisture content of the material is reduced to 35% moisture content. A separate receptacle
collects the squeezed liquid. This can be used as fertilizer for grass and lawn greening project.

Component 4 - The Maturation and Curing Stage

The processed fertilizer goes to the composition bin via an uptake screw conveyor.
The composting bin rotates at the rate of 15RPM. Maturation is completed after 24hours,
harvested and packed daily in a 25 kilos poly bag with moisture content of 28-30%.

Component 5 – Utilization and Application of Organic Fertilizer

Organic fertilizer produced by the MRF shall be utilized as substrate place in
discarded or used poly bag. The substrate is enriched with coco coir dust at the ratio of 50%
organic fertilizer, 20% coir dust and 30% garden soil.
Target areas for Ube or Yam production in poly bag are islands of big streets and
avenues in the municipality.
Expected number of Ube planted in sack throughout the municipality shall be 50,000
Ube plants in 8 months production cycle or 250,000 Ube crop in 5 years period. The volume
of plants maybe increased if housewives in the area / municipality may adopt the technology
on Ube production at their homes and vacant spaces. This will revolutionize the processing of
Ube into powdered product for the export market and moreover create ready market for the
organic fertilizer produced by MRF in the metropolis.
The Bio-inoculant
The heart of the technology that runs MRF is the installed Mechanical System and
Process, but without the beneficial microbes that serve as inoculants in enhancing the rapid
digestion process, the fast method of producing organic fertilizer would not be possible.
This replaces the old-time-consuming process windows turning large volume of
garbage compost piles, which uses up wide composting area for a larger curing period.

Until recently, the production of organic fertilizer needed enormous effort of upsetting
the organic material many times because the microorganism used composting was almost
aerobic. At a glance they may be safe, but during the maturing process, useful content
volatized with the gas which are useful content in a natural processing.

Because of the lack of labor and time, the organic materials are out back into the soil,
but which will require much oxygen in order to make this anaerobic. As a result, humus
production stops and rotting fungi begin to prosper. This is the natural decomposition process.

In this new technology, digestion of inorganic waste into fertilizer is easily achieved
with the little loss, by transforming organic materials into Nitrogen, phosphate, Potassium
and other content.

The technology controls moisture content of the materials at 35%. This is the moisture
level loved by useful microbes for rapid composting.

7.3.1.5. Marketing and Promotion Strategy

Compost

On a study conducted by DENR-ADB (2003), one of the identified problems is the

marketing of compost wherein there is a low production capacity. A large volume of compost
is needed outside Metro Manila (e.g. Quirino, Baguio) but the problem is the immediate
transport due to limited supply. In Metro Manila, compost are sell at a very low price due to
high overhead cost of buying from numerous small producers to put together one large order.
However, with the intensified campaign for composting, there is possibility that supply will
significantly exceed demand in the near future.
Rizal being an agriculture town, it has a viable local market for compost. If 1,935
hectares (75%) of the 2,580 hectares agricultural land in Rizal will use organic fertilizer, for
the two cropping seasons, the total requirement per year is about 6,748 kilograms of compost.
This estimate is based on the DOST’s recommendation of using 8 sacks of compost (about 14
kg) for every hectare of riceland. With the rapid composting system rated output of 20
ton/day (based on LGU generation), the total annual compost production from the bioreactor
is about 20 tons/day (8-hr operation) which can support the LGU’s need. However, marketing
has to be made with the farmers to promote the use of organic compost.
The LGU could also sell some of the compost to other users like ornamental plant
growers, farm subdivisions and organic farms like the Costales Farm in Majayjay, Laguna.

Recyclables
 The recyclables which comprises 33 % of the total LGU wastes, will be temporarily
stored in the MRF and shall be sold to the junkshops or accredited haulers.
For the plastics, there is a private company in Rizal Province that is being tapped by
other municipalities (i.e. Kalayaan, Sta. Cruz) for the disposal of such kind of waste.
Accordingly, this company buys the plastics in large volume either shredded or not, only at a
very minimal amount. The LGU is planning to join those LGUs in disposing this type of
waste to reduce the volume of residual to be hauled out by a private hauler.

7.3.1.6. Organizational Aspect

Considering that this component is more on the management of the environment, the
operation of such will be handled by the Office of the Municipal Environment and Natural
Resources and shall be complimented with appropriate number of staff as presented in Figure
16. The duties and responsibilities of the operational staff as presented in the Table below.

7.3.2 Recycling

Recyclable materials can be collected at a specific schedule (twice a month, or

depending on quantity) and be deposited at the MRF. This facility will be established in an
area easily accessible by the public. In here, people could also dispose the recyclable and
high-value waste during the MRF office hours. A different access road will be used by
garbage trucks.

Residual Waste collected regularly will also be inspected for recyclable materials.
Waste sorting will be done in the facility. Recyclable materials like cans, plastic containers
and high value waste which comprise 37% of the total amount of waste generated will be
reduced to the amount of waste transferred and could be sold for additional income.
Volunteers will also be accommodated for the man-power requirement of the sorting and
recovery of recyclable materials to facilitate the MRF.

For the meantime, the municipality has no existing MRF facility. To start-up the
implementation, while waiting for the MRF to be established recyclable waste that could be
segregated from the garbage collection and the segregation bins will be sold (on a small scale
basis)at junk shops for extra income. This could be divided to those who volunteered to
conduct the segregation. These kinds of activities are also done in various MRF at different
LGU.

7.3.3 Composting/Management of Biodegradable Waste

The LGU collects 158 kg. of solid waste every day and 27% of which is
biodegradable material most of which are food and yard wastes. This amount of waste could
reduce the transport and dumping cost once properly managed.

A composting facility will be established to facilitate the biodegradable solid waste

management. This facility will be a center of research and development in terms of
composting and decomposition of solid waste. Various technologies like vermiculture and
inoculants will be tested and applied to produce marketable grade of compost. Different
stakeholders will collaborate in this project. While waiting for the facility to be operational,
small scale composting/decomposition bins will be utilized to divert some biodegradable
waste from the sanitary landfill pathway. Some of which will be buried in unused land in the
municipality for decomposition/composting purposes.

The various institutes and departments involved in this project will form an ad-hoc
committee for biodegradable waste management. This committee will formulate the strategy
and technologies to be applied to facilitate the municipal Composting Facility from its start-
up stage up to its operational stage.

7.3.4 Marketing

Biodegradable Materials

Meanwhile biodegradable materials from some of the food establishment in the LGU were
collected through internal arrangement (some are doing backyard composting while others
feed this waste to domesticated animals). The rest of these waste were collected during the
garbage collection. Once the compost facility was established, it compost products could be
sold to various farms and gardens near or within the LGU. The compost selling price varies
along with the quality, recent compost price ranges from P300.00-P1,500.00 per 50kg sack.
Organic and edible gardens and ECO-parks should also be established to support the
campaign not only in environmental awareness but also for additional income from the sales
of various products. Organic backyard farming should also be encouraged and initiated by
the ad-hoc committee for biodegradable solid waste management and participating LGUs not
only in the residential area of the municipality but also to its nearby communities for market
expansion. This can be done by providing free seedling and organic farming seminars.

7.4. Projected Facilities

Two barangay MRF are expected to be established as well as a centralized LGU MRF with
sanitary landfill is expected. The two barangay MRF are expected to cater cluster of
barangays within its proximity.

7.4.1. Sanitary Landfill (SLF) Design

The needed total sanitary landfill capacity or airspace is estimated based on the projected
total waste volume for disposal and desired service life. Only residual waste will be dispose
in the SLF as per RA 9003. Density of compacted residual waste is estimated to be between
50– 300 kg/m3. A service life of 15 years is also chosen to maximize land use. Soil cover is
assumed to occupy 20% - 25% of the buried wastes in the landfill.

Maximum daily leachate generation is determined by identifying the maximum monthly
average rainfall. The maximum average rainfall is then divided by the number of days on that
month to obtain the maximum daily rainfall using the swiss formula.
The K value is determined from the degree of compaction of wastes. For weakly compacted
landfills, K is estimated between 0.25 to 0.50. for strongly compacted landfills, K is
estimated between 0.15 to 0.25. For the drainage, packed gravel is proposed to minimize the
cost for the piping system.
The leachate treatment facility consists of a pond system or lagoon system, otherwise known
as waste stabilization ponds. The pond system consists of at least three ponds: anaerobic pond,
facultative pond, a maturation pond and an optional holding pond to accommodate surges in
precipitate.
The design of leachate treatment facility for Category 1 SLF has BOD5 as its main parameter.
BOD5 for biodegradable waste is 250 to 2,500 mg/L and 500 to 1,000 mg/L for mixed wastes.
Since only residuals will be disposed, a BOD range of 350 to 1,000 mg/L is acceptable.
The capacity of Leachate Holding Pond is based on the average daily rainfall of the
maximum month. For the Anaerobic Pond, the average daily leachate generation is used to
calculate for the capacity. The depth of the pond used is 3 m, which is the average based on
literature. For maximum BOD removal of 60 to 70%, 4 to 5 days retention time is required.
For maximum BOD removal, 5 days will be the chosen retention time.
For the facultative pond, the incoming BOD will be the value from the Anaerobic pond,
while the outgoing BOD is the required standard set by DENR. The retention time is
calculated from the Duncan Mara equation. The capacity will be based on the retention time.
The chosen depth will be 2 meters to ensure no spillage. The Duncan Mara equation is shown
below:

Li  Le
t
181.05 
T 20

Where:
t = retention time
Li = BOD of incoming wastewater/ leachate in mg/L
Le = desired BOD of effluent wastewater/ leachate in mg/L
T = wastewater temperature in oC

For the maturation pond, a retention time of 7 days is used as per literature. Since a shallower
basin is needed, the chosen depth for the pond is 1.5 m. Other operational practices to reduce
the risk of environmental impact are the design of a liners system, SLF drainage and final
cover. A liner system is a protective lining or barrier that intercepts leachates and diverts it to
the leachate collection pond. SLF drainage is a water management system that consists of
canals and water ways that intercepts storm water and prevents it from reaching the disposal
area. The final cover is the final capping of the SLF after it reaches its service life, which
controls the emission of gases.
For the liner system, the values from literature are used. For category 1 SLF, which has a
waste stream less than 15 T per day, the liner system will consist of 60 cm of clay, with a soil
permeability equal to 1x10-5 cm/s. the clay is placed above a compacted formation level
present subsoil, which should also be 2 meters from a groundwater table. Above the clay
layer is a 15 cm protection of 2/8 sand, which in turn will be covered by 50 cm of gravel. No
HDPE liner is required since this is only a category 1 SLF.
SLF drainage can be a perimeter drain, trench drain, landfill surface drains which are
constructed to drain from the final cover and an upstream diversion if perimeter drains are not
enough. To compute for the discharge to the ditches and drain, the rational formula is used.

Table 18. Average Rainfall Data for Leachate Calculation

Rainfall intensity is calculated from a 25 yr rainfall and a time of concentration of at least 10

minutes. For the appropriate runoff coefficient, the area for the landfill is assumed to be a flat
farm land, which has a runoff coefficient value between 0.45 to 0.6. Details of the drainage
facility will not be shown because prerequisites such as area topography are not the scope of
chemical engineers.

Final Cover Specification

For the final cover, a gas vent is integrated to the leachate collection system since only
residual wastes are dumped, causing a minimal gas generation. Final cover will have the
same layer of liners as the liner system designed above for the base. The final slope for the
SLF will be 1:4, 1 being vertical and 4 the horizontal. A top soil cover is also placed for
vegetation.

7.5. Market Development

 Current good ecological solid waste management practices identified in the
Philippines are the co-processing of waste materials for resource recovery, Happy Soil
composting system, foam polystyrene recycling, and solid waste residuals conversion to
bricks. These activities can generate the necessary market to encourage recycling.
Co-processing is a process wherein recovery and energy or mineral value from waste
materials is done while cement is being produced. Cement plants are the recipients of this
practice. Non-recyclable and non-biodegradable packaging materials and even junk appliance
components, which may be gathered from households in the LGU, may be sold to the cement
plants for them to perform cogeneration.
Happy Soil composting system is growing in popularity and is even exported to other
countries. This reflects the increasing popularity of turning biodegradable waste into compost.
In the Philippines, there are many agricultural lands especially in Northern and Central Luzon.
For Rizal, a composting system may be set up, integrating all composting technologies
developed by the BIOTECH UPLB, such as the use of inoculants (Bio-quick, Bio-fix) and
vermicomposting. With a 37% biodegradable waste based on WACS, a significant amount of
compost can be generated. The market could be built around the agricultural lands from
nearby municipalities such as in Calauan, San Pablo, and Nagcarlan.
Foam recycling is a remote possibility since based on municipal ordinances,
Styrofoam is considered as a non-environmentally friendly packaging. The Styrofoam
packaging for food is already banned. However, for appliances, Styrofoam is still being used
for safe transport. The used Styrofoam may be sold to foam polystyrene recycling facilities.
Solid waste residuals are already being converted to bricks, or used as aggregates. The
market is not yet fully established since the bricks are used mostly for landscaping purposes
instead of as a construction material for houses. Further feasibilities studies are recommended.
 8. Implementation Strategy

8.1. Framework

The hierarchy of implementation will be prioritizing the waste minimization, then followed
by the proper segregation, next is the transformation of waste to high value products, while
the last option is the sanitary landfilling.

Figure 21. Implementation Strategy Flowchart

8.2. Diversion Projections

As stated earlier, a projection of 15% of biodegradables is expected to be diverted. Additional

5% of recyclables will be diverted to recycling centres. A decrease of 15% for residuals is
also expected.

8.3. Monitoring Program

Task forces will be created to facilitate in the implementation of the SWMP. The “Task-
Force for Plastic Ban” is an example of these implementing authorities. They are allowed to
collect fines and apprehend violators. Through frequent visibility, the turn-out of citizen’s
participation will be improved.

8.4. Alternatives Analysis

Possible alternative for the proposed activity in the SWMP is collaborating with other LGUs
to establish a bigger SLF. This may incur less expenses but the start-up process could be very
slow because the documents being processed passes through different LGUs.

8.5. Incentive Programs

A volunteer corps for monitoring the implementation of solid waste management inside the
campus, such as the no littering policy and waste segregation, shall be formed. Volunteers
includes, but not limited to residents and employees of the LGU. They will undergo a series
of trainings and seminars to gain accreditation. Once accredited, the volunteers will have
authority to reprimand and even collect fines from SWM violators. To ensure the integrity of
the service, the volunteer shall show an ID and issue receipts.
 9. Institutional Aspects

Currently, the existing plans of the municipality involve MRFs, localized composting and
eco-farming at the barangay level. Residuals are disposed through pelletizing and mixing to
cement blocks or bricks as aggregates. In order for the overall solid waste management
program to become sustainable, the responsibilities of various institutions must be clear. This
is done through the establishment of clear objectives and responsibilities of each concerned
institution.

Figure 22. Chain of Responsibilities of Different SWM Institutions

9.1. Roles

Currently, the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office is in-charge of the
preparation of the 10-year solid waste management program, as well as the implementation
and monitoring of the progress. The program is also to be renewed since the previous 10-year
solid waste management program is already expired. For the municipal solid waste
management program to be effective, various offices of the municipality must work together
and synergize their efforts. This is done through the establishment of Committees for various
aspects of the solid waste management plan.

Committees to be established are based on the existing program and the proposed programs
to further improve the solid waste management plan. Existing programs include MRF,
composting facilities; eco-farming, residuals recycling in cement blocks and the current
plastic ban. For the proposed programs, we have the cogeneration in cement factories,
establishment of a Category A sanitary landfills, creation of high value products from
residuals, manufacture of briquettes from biodegradables and some waste-to-energy
initiatives.
MRF Operations Committee
Barangay level MRF are already established. The problems encountered are the lessening of
the quantity and diversity of waste being thrown to the MRF. Most residents of each
barangays are already aware of the value of segregating recyclables and selling these to
accredited recycling centers, leaving only the residuals, biodegradables and special wastes
behind. Therefore, the following objectives are established:
 Ensure the proper segregation of solid wastes collected by the designated collectors,
specifically the residuals, biodegradables and special wastes;
 Quantification of residuals for forwarding to the residual waste management
committee;
 Quantification of biodegradable wastes for forwarding to the composting facility
operations committee; and,
 Make sure the cleanliness and orderliness of the facility.
 Handles the market of recyclable materials.

Residual Waste Processing Committee

Bulk of the waste which will remain in the barangay MRF will be residuals. These wastes
will be categorized according to the level of usefulness. With the following programs, a
further 40% of wastes are estimated to be diverted initially. At the end of the new 10 year
solid waste management plan, it is desired to divert of residuals as high value products or for
waste-to-energy initiatives. Listed below are the objectives for this committee.
 Monitor the current program of pelletizing residuals as aggregates for cement blocks
and bricks production;
 Investigate the potential of residual products as eco-bags, containers, ornaments or
other high value products;
 Conduct feasibility studies on the possible markets for the products previously
mentioned;
 Investigate the possibility of use of residuals for cogeneration in cement plants;
 Offer logistics for the forwarding of residual wastes to the different programs; and
 Further recommend programs and activities with regards to residual management.

Biodegradable Processing Committee

Biodegradables often consist of majority of the solid wastes for communities. This further
strengthens the need for a proper management of such wastes. For rural areas, biodegradables
are often disposed as feeds for pets and livestock, buried in the backyard or burnt in 'siga'.
Barangays already have composting facilities and implements advanced techniques such as
vermicomposting. This specific committee shall have the following objectives:
 Monitor the current composting programs (e.g. vermicomposting, etc.)
 Explore the possibility of using other composting techniques such as Bio-quick and
Bio-fix, which are manufactured from BIOTECH;
 Consider the use of biodegradables from market and commercial sector in conjunction
with yard wastes and household wastes for further improvement of compost quality;
 Ensure the compost quality set by Department of Agriculture is maintained;
 Determine the amount of biodegradables that would be diverted for coal-briquette
making and other biodegradable solid waste management activities;
 Evaluate the possibility of using windrows and mechanical composting equipment for
the increase of compost production efficiency;
 Conduct continuous search for market for compost to ensure sustainability; and,
 Research for new and alternative methods for composting.
Eco-Farming/Eco-Tourism Operations Committee
Eco-farms are establishments where environmentally-friendly practices are implemented for
the benefit of the appreciation of the public, as well as serve as inspiration for solid waste
management activities. Examples of environmentally-friendly practices are, but not limited to,
organic framing, use of recycled wastes as containers for plants and ornaments, and others.
This specific committee shall have the following objectives:
 Locate possible sites per barangay to serve as eco-farms;
 Monitor the performance of existing eco-farms; and,
 Establish guidelines from which will the performance of eco-farms are based.

Task-Force for Plastic Ban

Plastic ban is already in effect in the municipality. To further strengthen the ordinance, a task
force is created. This task force shall have the following objective:
 Prescribe alternative packaging to replace plastics;
 Conduct inspections of business establishments and give sanctions to violators; and
 Design and implement an information dissemination campaign to change the
paradigm of the citizens towards solid waste management consciousness.

Committee for Study of New Solid Waste Management Programs

This committee is in-charge of the establishment of new solid waste management programs
to further ensure the sustainability of the program. Specifically, it aims to:
 Explore the possibility of using municipal wastes for cogeneration in cement
manufacturing plants;
 Study the possibility of constructing a Category A Sanitary Landfill for residuals
disposal;
 Create a catalog of possible high-value products for use as containers and ornaments;
 Conduct a research for briquette-making of excess biodegradable waste; and,
 Investigate other areas for possible waste-to-energy initiatives, such as biofuels from
municipal solid wastes and the like.

 10. Social and Environmental Aspect

Sustainable 10-year solid waste management plan requires social acceptability. This will be a
factor in the ease of its implementation in the LGU. The assessment of its environmental
impact is another crucial factor to be analyzed. Being an academic institution, it is of great
importance that we serve as a model to other communities and LGUs. This requires a socially
and environmentally friendly solid waste management program.

10.1. Social Aspects

There are many factors to consider for the social acceptability of the program. There
are different strengths and weaknesses as well as the available threats and opportunities for
development. Social acceptability of the project could be analyzed using SWOT Analysis.

Strength no. 1 (S1):

The Rizal community has advantage in the availability of technical resources through the
cooperation of UPLB through this proposal (resource person and research and development
facilities).

Strength no. 2 (S2):

There is strong environmental awareness among the citizens and government of the Rizal.

Weakness no. 1 (W1):

Presently there are only few available infrastructures and the 10-year solid waste
management requires the creation of different facilities to accommodate its implementation.

Weakness no. 2 (W2):

There is minimal fund available for its implementation.

Opportunity no. 1 (O1):

The present government of Rizal prioritizes the environment protection of the LGU and
willing for an eco-tourism program.

Opportunity no. 2 (O2):

Presently, the solid waste management program is not sustainable. Meaning the LGU pays
every month to manage its waste. Minimal income is generated and the flow of money is
outward.

Opportunity no. 3 (O3):

Rizal is focusing in its eco-tourism program, thus there are many opportunities to collaborate
with other LGU regarding the SWMP.

Threat no. 1 (T1):

Possible conflict of Interest among the different research institutions and stake-holders
involved.

Threat no. 2 (T2):

People in the Rizal will not patronize the SWMP due to different reasons like additional fees,
banning of products, strict implementation of policy, etc.

10.2. Environmental Aspects

Apparently an improved SWMP will have positive effects of the beautification and
minimization of the harmful effects caused by solid wastes. But to make this plan sustainable,
it will be important to determine not only the positive but also the negative impact of the
SWMP to the environment. Establishments like ECO-sites, sanitary landfill, organic farming,
decomposition pits, and hazardous waste treatment facility require an Environment Impact
Assessment before its establishment. This will be assigned to the respective committees
designated for the specific project. Proper zoning must be implemented considering the
proper land-use and the nearby bodies of water.
Waste management projects are listed under Non-Environmentally-Critical Project type of
Environmentally Critical Areas or group 2, as per DAO 2003-30. The highest documentary
requirement for this group is the IEE or Initial Environmental Examination. Since the
proposed waste management project is still in its infancy, requirements for new projects will
also be done. The other requirements are the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS),
Programmatic EIS (PEIS) and, as an option, a Project Description Report (PDR). The
decision document for these requirements is the ECC or Environmental Compliance
Certificate.

In accomplishing the IEE, an IEE Report (IEER) and IEE Checklist (IEEC), is required. The
proponent undertakes the IEE study. IEER/IEEC will be the basis of the Environmental
Management Bureau for prioritization in compliance monitoring and evaluation. Within 3
days, IEER procedural screening will be validated by the screening officer, while IEEC will
be validated after 1 day. Non-conforming documents will be returned. If conforming, the
proponent will pay the filing fee and will show the receipt to the Case Handler for the
substantive review of the document. The submission for the substantive review will include 5
hard copies and 1 CD copy each for the IEER and IEEC. 60 days is given for the review of
the IEER while 30 days is given for IEEC. Finally, if all documents proved compliant, ECC
is transmitted to the concerned party, including recommendations into the decision making
process.
 11. Cost Estimates/ Financial Aspect

11.1. Investment Cost

Considering the factors and calculations mentioned above. From the projected waste
generation and population, the projected cost for investment will be calculated. This will
serve as basis for policy making and fund appropriation. The approximated cost is also
checked and compared to prevailing prices for other references.

11.2. Annual Cost

This includes the maintenance and operating cost of SWM facilities. From the gasoline,
power consumption, contingency funds, up to the salary of personnel. These are accounted
every year depending on the expected capacity of solid waste.

Time and Motion Study for Collection

From the MRF and SLF located in Brgy. Tala, the proposed route (shortest possible w/
greatest coverage) is going through the MRF of Antipolo (via National Highway) (8.3km),
then to the MRF of Brgy. Talaga (2.9km), then to the East end Poblacion (2.2km) before
returning to the MRF of Brgy. Tala (2.7km).

Total Distance per Trip: 16.1 km

Waste Collected: (4m3) 952.5kg/day (average)
Number of Trips per day = 1 trip

Travel Speed: 15km/hr

Travel Time: 1.073hrs.
Number of Stops: (5km/30 stops) = 97 stops
Time/Stop: = 15 second
Time due to Stops: 0.4042 hrs.
Unloading Time: 0.3333hrs
Cleaning Time: 0.1667 hrs
Total Time Spent/Trip = 2 hrs. (approximately)

Fuel Cost (5k/L)(P41.00/L) = P205.00/Trip

Total Fuel Cost = 205(365)(10) = P748,250.00

Change Oil Requirements: (16.1km/day)(365 days/yr)(10yrs)(change oil/5000km) = 12 times

Change Oil Cost: (P5000.00/change oil)(12) = P60,000.00
