Waste Disposal: An Implementation

On Proper Segregation

Implementation Group/Unit

This study will be conducted by the students of Literacy Training Service (LTS)

from College of Business and Management. Which composed of the following students:

Abarquez, Asis.Ates, Balatiro, Canaliso, Fulgencio, Jimenez, Ligado, Llorito, Maquisa,

Mutoc, Novecio, Omahoy, Pelias, Piacidad, Reserone, Salazar, Salubo, Tagolimot,

Tuso, Tisoy, Valleser, Wabad and Wong.

Project Duration

This study will be conducted after the survey questionnaire was analyzed. The

survey questionnaire will be given to the respondents on the first day of immersion

(February 28, 2019). And this project is estimated to be implemented on latter date and

ends on the last day of immersion It will be starting from March 2, 2019 and ends on

May 4, 2019.

Objectives of the Project

This project aims to teach young children or youth to properly segregate their

garbages and to be able to promote cleanliness by having a proper segregation and to

maximize its potential use for productivity and profitability of that area.
Project Description

a. Background of the Project

Since the beginning of time, people have needed to find a way of disposing of their

trash” (Bassis, 2000). Proper garbage disposal is important to ensure everyone's safety

from possible health hazards. The improper waste disposal of garbage is a major

sociological problem today due to its capability of contaminating the area in which we

live and it’s potential to be lethal to all living things. Its effects increase the risk of

adverse health effects in humans and animals, causes damage to eco-systems and

accelerate the destruction of our environment. The more waste we generate, the more

we have to dispose of.

Humanity continues to develop and produce waste that characterizes

contemporary society, dating from the industrial revolution in order to fulfill its most

fundamental needs of life. However, the resulting production and consumption of

resources end up with prominent problems regarding solid waste generation and

management in diverse parts of the world (Ojewale, 2014).

Waste is more easily recognized than defined. Something can become waste

when it is no longer useful to the owner or it is used and fails to fulfill its purpose

(Gourlay, 1992). According to Miller (1988), solid waste is any useless, unwanted or

discarded material that is not liquid or gas. A great mixture of substances including fine

dust, cinder, metal, glass, paper and cardboard, textiles, putrescible vegetable materials

and plastic characterise solid waste (Simmens, 1981).

 As time passes the only certainty is that accumulation of waste will outstrip its

control. In the Philippines, there are no longer enough convenient holes in the grounds

into which to tip unwanted matter (Gourlay, 2010). It lacks appropriate storage facilities,

treatment technologies, and good methods of disposal for its waste.

Even though, the integrated solid waste management has been strongly promoted

by various governmental and non-governmental organizations in the country, many

municipalities were unable to safety manage solid wastes

b. Justification of the Project

Improper solid waste management has led to substantial negative environmental

impacts such as pollution of air, soil and water. It may also result to health and safety

problems such as disease spread by insects and rodents via garbage heaps and

unsanitary disposal sites.

Local authorities are charged with the responsibility of providing solid waste

management services together with other municipal services. However they find it

increasingly difficult to play this role. The difficulty has been aggravated by lack of

effective legislation, inadequate funds, inadequate facilities and poor leadership within

the municipality.

Uncontrolled dumping of solid waste can lead to wastage of land where lots of land

is being used as dumping sites. These same pieces of land could later on be neglected

by the inhabitants of the area.

c. Benefits Derived from the Project

Waste management can be done poorly, in a way that harms the environment, or

it can be taken care of in a manner that makes the Earth cleaner and healthier. When

done properly, waste management and recycling can eliminate waste and minimize the

intensity of greenhouse gases. The planet benefits from less methane and carbon

monoxide in the air.

Proper safety measures and waste disposal methods make for a cleaner, safer

world with less diseases and lower potential harm to both humans and animals. It

eliminates waste found in streets and canals which reduces the effect of floods when

occur. It also helps the community to be responsible to the waste they consume. And

most importantly it hels to reserve our earth to be clean and less ollutant for the benefit

of the future,

d. Coverage

The project scope is limited only to the area where the implementing units

assigned that needs assessment in proper waste disposal.

Methodology

The method use in the study is through survey questionnaires. In which it

surveys on how well a certain community do a proper waste disposal. Through this the

researcher can easily determine a certain area that needs improvement. This survey

must be conducted later before the project is implemented. After the data was analyze

the researcher will conduct the proper solid waste management by orienting, guiding

and teaching the residence of the assigned area the proper way to segregate and

dispose waste.
