NURSERY

ESTA BLISHMENT
 Objective
1 To ensure the availability and quality
of planting stocks at the right time.
Planting materials will likely have
higher survival rate in the field rather
than through other methods of
planting.
2 The nurseries serve as demonstration
and learning site to enhance the
capacities and expand the knowledge of
the farmers to produce and propagate
their own seedling requirements.
Components:
1. Accessibility

2. Water Supply

3. Site Cover

4. Aspect

5. Slope

6. Location

7. Soil condition
 Agro-forestry
Demonstration Farm
 Objective:

1.To serve as models for sustainable upland

farming technologies.

2. To maintain or improved the soil productivity

thereby increasing overall yield per unit
area.

3.To provide additional benefits to upland

farmers
in the form of increased income and
enhanced
ecological functions and processes as well
as an
effective tool to encourage farmers to adopt
soil
and water conservation technology.

ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE
MANAGEMENT
Objective:

1. To participate and involve in public

campaign to be carried out continuously to
improve understanding and promoting new
approach in management and new technology
in solid waste management.

2. To let the community be informed

continuously about anything to be introduced
in the barangay to improve solid waste
management where, at a certain level, the
community involvement will promote self-
propelling of the development itself.
Components

1. Sorting at source

2. Establishment of MRF and Composting Facility

3. Recycling

4. Absence of uncollected garbage

5. Continuing IEC campaign

Organizational Skills – 20%

Total
=100%
Habits and Practices on waste management 40%

-Sorting at source

-Presence of compost pit

-Utilization of other recyclables income

-Collection system within the building

Criteria for Waste Segregation:
Aesthetic – 40%

- No heaps or files outside homes

- No evidence of burned wastes
- No poor odor
- Presence of waste sorters along streets

beautification
Ecological Solid Waste
Management

Is the systematic administration of

activities which provide for
segregation at source, segregated
transportation, storage, transfer,
processing , treatment and disposal
of solid waste and all other waste
management activities which do not
harm the environment.
 Segregation-at-source

Solid waste management practice of

separating, at the point of origin,
different materials
found in solid
waste
Sources of Solid Wastes

 HOUSEHOLDS
 COMMERCIAL - INDUSTRIAL
SOURCES
- restaurants, eateries, markets,
plants, mills, factories(including
materials such as chemicals &
paints)
Sources of Solid Wastes
 FARMS / AGRICULTURE SECTOR
- farm animal manure and crop residue
 INSTITUTIONS
- hospitals, schools, churches, and
prisons
 Sources of Solid Wastes
 MINING
- slag heaps and coal refuse piles
 HAZARDOUS WASTES
- pose a potential hazard to living
creatures because they are toxic
or lethal, non-degradable or
persistent in nature, and may cause
detrimental cumulative effects
WHY SEGREGATE?
 WHY SEGREGATE?
1. We cannot depend on landfills
indefinitely:
- we are running out of space
- we are running out of time
- WASTE CARRYING CAPACITY
 WHY SEGREGATE?

2. Each of us are waste generators.

 WHY SEGREGATE?
3. Resource conservation & recovery
and promotes livelihood

“Do I really need it?”

“Do I really need this much?”

 REDUCE
 Avoid over-packaged goods
 Avoid or limit the use of disposables
 Buy in bulk
 Buy durable, refillable,
re-usable, repairable,
& recyclable products
 RE-USE
 Maintain & repair durable products
 Borrow, rent, or share items that are
not used frequently
 Sell or donate goods
instead of throwing
them out
 RECYCLE
 Patronize recycled & recyclable
goods
 Promote recycling programs
WHY SEGREGATE?

Establishing Mandatory Solid
Waste Diversion (RA 9003)
The LGU shall divert at least 25% of
all solid waste from waste disposal
facilities through re-use, recycling,
and composting activities and other
resource recovery activities.

Goals shall be increased every three

(3) years thereafter.

indiscriminately?
MATERIALS RECOVERY
FACILITIES (MRF)

MRFs are the heart and soul

of Ecological Solid Waste
Management
SWM facilities necessary for the
waste reduction program
Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)
- Solid waste transfer station or sorting station,
drop-off center, or composting facility, and a
recycling facility.

Composting Facility
- a component facility of an MRF
- Composting refers to the controlled
decomposition of organic matter by micro-
organisms, mainly by bacteria and fungi, into
humus-like product.

“Waste is a resource that is in the

wrong place at the wrong time. Once
it finds its rightful place, then it is just
as valuable as any other natural
resource.”
