COMPLIANCE with RA 9003


Sec 21 Segregation at Source

The most indispensable element of any effective ESWM Program Proven by the enactment of an Ordinance that mandates at Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) must be segregated at source and placed in at least 3 separate containers, (a) Compostables, (b) Recyclables, and (c) Residuals Compliance is monitored through Barangay Level Monitoring Systems

Classification of Waste under RA 9003


Compostable s Recyclables

Special Wastes

Non-recyclables/residuals

COMPOSTABLE WASTE

Compostable wastes are biodegradable wastes such as food waste, garden waste and animal waste.
Examples are:

Fruit and vegetable peelings, leftover foods, vegetable trims, fish/fowl/meat/animal entrails/, soft shells, seeds, leaves, etc.,

RECYCLABLE WASTE

Recyclable materials refer to any waste material retrieved from the waste stream and free from contamination that can still be converted into suitable beneficial use.
Examples are: Newspaper, ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals, corrugated cardboard, aluminum, tin cans, glass, papers, etc.,

SPECIAL WASTE
Special waste refer to household hazardous wastes.
Examples are: Paints, thinner, household batteries, lead-acid batteries, spray canisters, bulky wastes, consumer electronics (which refer to worn-out, broken and other discarded items), white goods (which refer to large worn-out or broken household appliances), oil, tires, etc.,

RESIDUAL WASTE
Residual wastes are solid waste materials that are non-compostable and non-recyclable.
Examples are:
Sanitary napkins, disposable diapers, worn-out rugs, ceramics, candy wrappers/sachets, cartons which contain a plastic lining usually used for milk and juice containers, etc.,

COMPLIANCE with RA 9003


Sec 23 Segregated Collection
This is the Backbone of any effective ESWM Program Ground-Level Enforcement Method through No Segregation-No Collection Proven through the same Ordinance for Sec 21 but capable of ground verification Separate days and/or hours; Separate trucks or chambers Socio-civic Trust Fund for the maintenance of garbage collection trucks to ensure efficiency of collection and prevention of backslide.

Sorting at Source
Provide easy segregation system at source. Use of color-coded bins with pictures is recommended. System should be understood by child to ensure that adults also understand.

For Campuses & Buildings

Segregated Collection: Village-level Collection

Daily segregated collection is best for villages with a budget for bio-man. Every bio-man can cover 200 houses daily @ P1.00. He can earn P5000 in 25 days of work.

Segregated Collection: Community Collection

Some communities may opt to bring their segregated wastes to bins located at strategic places within their village. More economical when collectors are absent.

Segregated Destination: Urban Poor Community Approach


Even urban poor families can improvise and develop their own bin system. A small open space or street corner is enough. Contents are collected weekly by barangay.

Village Eco-center 2

Immediate Sale of Recyclables

If buyers of factory returnables are available, then non-bio wastes do not have to be brought to the barangay MRF. The proceeds are realized by the village. Less transport costs are incurred.

Barangay MRF

Segregated Destination: Management of Compostable or Biodegradable Materials

Compostable waste need not leave the home. There are many practical ways of managing compostable waste. This will require the re-use of certain discarded materials.

1. Backyard Compost Pits

2. TOWER TIRES

3. BOTTOMLESS COMPOSTERS

4. COMPOSTING IN CLAY POTS

5. Hanging Container Composting

6. VERMICOMPOSTING
To improve the quality of compost,

it may be fed to vermiworms and the manure is collected as vermicastings. This process produces the best quality organic soil conditioner, which is practiced in many parts of the world.

Large-scale MRF Operation


If the city goes into large-scale MRFs, then the use of machines will have to come in. There are also several local technologies available for rapid composting and other alternative technologies to manage biodegradable materials.
Use of Large Shredders/Chippers Use of Fabricated 1Ton Capacity Bioreactor

Large-scale MRF Operation

1. Mulching Operation

2. Shredding of Dried Compostables

3. Sieving of shredded compost

4. Compost Processing

Large-scale MRF Operation

5. Fermentation Phase
When bio-waste achieves the proper carbon:nitrogen ratio, it reaches a temperature of up to 60 degrees C. This is enough to kill pathogens. The secret is in the mixture, not in the machine.

6. Maturation Period
Rapid composting still needs time for the compost harvest to mature before application in agriculture. Natures micro-organisms have to be given time to mature at their own pace. Pre-mature compost may emit foul odor.

Large-scale MRF Operation


Marketing of Compost
Compost should not pretend to be a fertilizer product. Compost should be marketed as soil conditioners, mulch, garden soil, humus, etc. FPA license not required for community operation.

Basic Organic Agriculture


Ecological waste management will eventually lead to organic agriculture. Compost may be used directly for planting organic vegetables and fruits. There is a large untapped local demand for compost. URBAN GARDENING

Segregated Destination: Management of Recyclable or Non-Biodegradable Materials

Redemption Centers
For commercial purposes, recyclables may be brought to a bigger central warehouse. This may be operated by the city, or by a cooperative, or by a private business.

This is required for rural or provincial operations in order to accumulate commercial quantities before transporting.

Fines and Penalties


Section 48 and 49 prescribe the punishable acts under RA 9003 and the corresponding fines and penalties therefore; LGUs need only to pass the Ordinance that would spell out (a) how & where community service as a penalty would be served, and (b) the amounts and duration of fines and imprisonment penalties for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc, offense; If the offense is committed by a corporation, partnership, or other juridical entity, the chief executive officer, president, general manager, managing partner or such other officer-in-charge shall be liable for the commission of the offense penalized under the Act.

Fines and Penalties


If the offender is an alien, he shall, after service of the sentence, be deported without further administrative proceedings.

The fines in RA 9003 shall be increased by at least ten percent (10%) every three (3) years to compensate for inflation and to maintain the deterrent function of such fines.
Fines collected are shared 40% -- Local Solid Waste Management Trust Fund and 60% -National Solid Waste Management Trust Fund;

CITIZENS SUITS (Sec. 52)


Notice to Sue gives the party served 30 days within which to undertake the appropriate compliances with Secs. 21, 23, 33, and 37. If no appropriate action is taken, citizens suit may be filed in court, or with the Ombudsman

Set up liaisons with local NGOs, Pos, and IBP Chapters. They focus on prosecution, we focus on evidence and testimony only. Carrot and Stick approach to enforcement

RECOURSE AND RELIEF (Sec. 53)


Suits and Strategic Legal Action Against Public Participation (SLAPP) and the Enforcement of this Act.
The SLAPP provision of RA 9003 is a double-edged measure. It seeks to protect those who file citizen suits under Section 52 thereof against retaliatory lawsuits from the persons, institutions, or agencies that are sued. It is also the legal remedy for public officers who are sued for acts committed in their official, capacity, there being no grave abuse of discretion, and done during the enforcement of RA 9003. Remember to tell your lawyer to claim attorneys fees and double damages under Section 53 in your Answer by way of counterclaim
