    Problem: Improper Household Waste Disposal in Villages/Subdivision

    1. Problem recognition, definition, and evaluation.

    Open dumping of waste generated and uncollected is the most common option in waste
    management schemes from villages/subdivisions. Lack of sanitation services or rudimentary
    waste management systems favored this practice. This problem, when left unsettled, will cause
    damages in the community. This is usually caused by the following:

    (1) No rules are implemented in the village/subdivision. (or not strictly regulated)

    (2) No garbage collector is employed within the village/subdivision.

    2. Development of feasible alternatives

    (1) Implement rules and regulations regarding proper disposal of garbage

    (2) Hire garbage collector(s) to collect and remove the waste

    3. Development of the outcomes and cash flows for each alternative.

    Alternative 1 Alternative 2
    Tarpaulin cost: 700 (6ft x 5ft) Number of person to hire: 3 (1 driver, 2
    Number of tarpaulins: 5 collectors) 365/daily
    Labor cost: 1,000 (wholesale) Equipment needed: Brand new garbage truck
    Total implementation cost: 700 * 5 pieces = 2,051,000
    3,500 + 1,000 (labor) = 4,500 Total implementation cost (1 month): 365 *
    3 = 1,095/daily * 6days/week *
    4weeks/month = 26,280(salary) +
    2,051,000(equipment) = 2,077,280
    4. Selection of a criterion (or criteria)

    5. Analysis and comparison of the alternatives.

    Alternative 1 is focusing on the awareness of the community to deal with the problem by
    installing tarpaulins in conspicuous areas. These tarpaulins should clearly display the rules and
    regulations of the village/subdivision by properly disposing of their garbage. A fine will be incurred
    the moment these rules are violated.

    Alternative 2 deals with the physical intervention of the problem by means of collecting the
    garbage of the community. A typical garbage collector team consists of 3 people including the
    driver. The overall cost

    6. Selection of preferred alternative.

    Alternative 1 would be the best option to choose since it is not only cheap but also allows
    the community to deal with the problem together.

    7. Performance monitoring and post-evaluation results.
