Partnering for Innovative Solutions and Practical Actions for Sustainable Development

3 Suggestions to manage our city dumpsite:

1. Composting thru sorting of daily garbage collection;
2. Harvesting compost by manual digging/sifting in landfill dumping area;
3. Mechanized harvesting of compost.
Practical actions 1 and 2 has already been tested and experimented with our
dumpsite scavengers. Both show positive results for alternative income
generation and with great potential to answer long term sustainable livelihood.
The presence of a multi-million shredder in the area increases the opportunity
for social progress and uplift environmental development, a win-win Action, a
perfect Solution a brilliant Initiative of the LGU for the dumpsite community .
May we therefore, seek approval to allow our RGM Alliance City Dumpsite
Scavengers Association access and management to the facilities and equipment
in the area. With proper training and supervision, they can become effective
partners in the implementation of a tangible Ecological Solid Waste Management.
Respectfully sharing track record of innovative actions 1 and 2 in our search
for practical solutions for sustainable development at Brgy. Combado Landfill and
action 3 for consideration, as follows:

1. Composting thru sorting of daily garbage collection;

- Average of 12 truck loads are dumped daily in the area,
an abundant resource that keeps on growing and
growing and growing

Simple Steps:
-

Biodegradable are placed in compost

bins.
Sorted plastic wrappers and other
non-biodegradable are sacked, piled
at designated area for final delivery
to new landfill in Brgy. Bactul.
Volume of sorted non-biodegradable
resulted to 1 truck load minimizing
delivery trips to final destination
saving fuel and maintenance of
garbage truck.
Only 300 sacks of non-biodegradable
and 320 sacks of biodegradable are
sorted out from the daily garbage
truck delivery of 12 per sampling.
Therefore the deposit of compost
material is more or less 50% of the
present total volume of garbage in
Combado Landfill.
Harvesting is an option to augment
income.

2. Harvesting compost by
manual digging then sifting
in landfill dumping area;
- At Php30.00 per sack for a 50 kg.
raw compost, surely generates
income. A family can sift 10 sacks
for an entire day operation.
- Additional Php10.00 for loading
and unloading monetary incentive
in the delivery.

- Another Php10.00 for every sack

sold is set aside as capital build-up
of members.
- The challenges of waste
management presents a clear
opportunity to increase social
welfare and a win-win solution to
our growing garbage problem.

Practical Actions and

Innovative Solutions:
- Manual sifter, cheap,
effective and economical.
- Refurbished old tires for
compost bins, beauty and
durability.
- Old refrigerator casings for
compost bins, abundant and
practical.
- Potting of compost mix at
Php1.00 per seedling pot.
Another innovative solution
to augment income.
- Standing with back facing
voting members when
writing skills is absent.
- Simple living enjoying
simple life.

Sharing of
Opportunities
- 50 kg. raw compost
bought at Php50.00 by
other communities is
still profitable.
- A 50 kg. raw compost
after vermi-composting
will weigh 20 kg vermicast.

- At Php5.00 per kg.,

there is still a profit of
Php50.00 for every sack
of raw compost
investment.
- Networking with other
communities
encourages distribution
of wealth.

Mechanized Harvesting of Compost

Practical Action No.3
- 2 of the above 3 equipment are accessible. The 3rd
may look expensive but there are more designs to
fit budget.
- A green light for the above concept plan proposal
will answer socio-economic development.
- With all the potential benefits it generates,
Combado Landfill is a gold mine. An abundant
resource that keeps on growing.

Our Main objective is to find innovative solutions for community development.
