SECTION I. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose

With the passage of Republic Act No. 9003, also known as the Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act of 2000, all local government units (LGUs) are mandated to implement and
enforce its salient provisions which include the formulation of a 10-year solid waste management
plan.

In compliance, the City Government of Santa Rosa under the leadership of Honorable Mayor
Arlene B. Arcillas, through the City Environment and Natural Resources Office, has taken the
initiatives in 2004 for the formulation of the City’s first 10-year Ecological Solid Waste
Management Plan for 2008-2017 and which was accordingly approved by the National Solid
Waste Management Commission in October 2010.

Known as the Investment Hub of South Luzon, the City of Santa Rosa has experienced fast-paced
development over the years that paved way for massive in-migration resulting to various
environmental distress and concerns. The influx of migrants had caused the proportional increase
in the volume of the wastes generated by the City. The need for concrete solid waste
management programs and strategies to address the escalating problems associated with the
increasing volume of solid waste prompted the City Government of Santa Rosa to update its
current and approved solid waste management plan for the years 2016 to 2025.

The City of Santa Rosa is located in an area proven by several studies to be not suitable for the
construction of a sanitary landfill. This is so because of the limited capacity to construct a
sanitary landfill, in terms of area availability and soil type, domestic wastes are being collected by
a private hauler, the Pilotage Trading and Construction (PTAC) and disposed at the their sanitary
landfill in San Pedro, Laguna. Given the landfill’s capacity to accommodate the solid wastes from
several adjoining cities and municipalities, the need to strategize for the development of
programs is inevitably necessary.

Alarming as it is, the uncontrollable increase in solid waste generation and its associated
problems has caught the attention of various sectors and stakeholders. Hence, the need to
balance economic development and sustainable environmental management is essential.

Specifically, the plan intends to:

 Determine the composition of solid wastes in the City of Santa Rosa

 Raise the level of environmental awareness among stakeholders on the consequent and
detrimental effects of improper management of solid wastes
 Page |2

 Mobilize all sectors and stakeholders within the City to share in the responsibility in
protecting the environment through their involvement on solid waste management
programs

 Enhance the sustainable solid waste management in Santa Rosa in compliance to RA 9003

 Improve the implementation structure of urban environmental management in the City of

Santa Rosa

 Calculate the greenhouse gas emissions from solid waste as a measure for the eventual
development of programs for climate change mitigation and sustainable development

1.2 Approach

The first approved 10-Year City Solid Waste Management (CSWM) Plan of Santa Rosa for the year
2008-2017 was used as the primary reference and basis for updating the CSWM Plan for the year
2015-2024.

The data on Waste Analysis and Characterization Study (WACS) that was conducted in 2004 were
first updated as 2015 data. WACS aims to determine the quality and quantity of wastes being
generated by the households, commercial establishments, institutions and industries. This serves
as the baseline data to come up with appropriate strategies on how to effectively manage the
solid wastes in the City of Santa Rosa. Sampling of wastes was spatially identified from among the
households, commercial establishments, institutions, recreations centers and industries. The
sampling size is determined using the Slovin’s formula. The data is consolidated and computed
based on the approved methodology of the National Solid Waste Management Commission.

Series of workshops on WACS computation were conducted by the Provincial Government

Environment and Natural Resources Office (PG-ENRO) through the technical assistance of the
National Solid Waste Management Commission (DENR-NSWMC) and the support of the
Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG). Various methodologies were used to
update the WACS while the final formula was provided by the DENR-NSWMC.

The PG-ENRO has provided each LGU a thorough assistance on data management and
computation. Continuous updates and reminders became an essential factor for LGUs to meet
deadlines. Workshops were also organized for the completion of the plan.

Various consultations among stakeholders were also conducted. Comprehensive reviews and
evaluation were headed by the Technical Working Group.

SECTION II. CITY OF SANTA ROSA PROFILE

2.1 Location

The City of Santa Rosa is located along the South corridor of Luzon or about 40 kilometers South
of Manila. It is a strategic and ideal place for local and foreign entrepreneurs due to its proximity
to Metro Manila. It is bounded on the North West by the town of Biñan; on the south and
southwest by Cabuyao and West by Silang and Tagaytay City in Cavite. It lies 50 kilometers North
West of Santa Cruz, the capital town of Laguna.

 Page |5

2.2 History

In 1571, the Spanish Conquistador Juan de Salcedo, the grandson of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi,
while exploring the Laguna Lake Region, discovered Biñan which was hence annexed as a barrio
to the town of Tabuco (now the town of Cabuyao). During that time, Santa Rosa was part of
Biñan and was called Barrio Bucol, in turn, was politically emancipated in January 18, 1792 as the
Municipality of Santa Rosa. The town was named after Saint Rose of Lima of Peru under whose
protection and patronage it was consecrated.

During the revolutionary period, Santa Rosa was instrumental in the proclamation of Philippine
Independence from Spain when it signed the Act of Independence on June 12, 1898. Later on, the
town’s local revolutionaries fought alongside the forces of General Pio del Pilar during the short
lived Filipino-American War. After being briefly occupied by the Japanese during World War II,
Santa Rosa was liberated by members of the guerilla resistance movement on February 5, 1945.

During the post war era until 1970’s, the people of the municipality were still largely dependent
on basic agriculture and family-owned enterprises for livelihood. The influence of
industrialization slowly took shape in the 1980’s with the entry of local and foreign investors who
were instrumental in the rapid economic and social transformation of the town. Some of which
are the establishment of the Filipinas Synthetic Fiber Corporation (FILSYN), Consolidated
Industrial Gases, Inc. (CIGI) and other small multinational companies.

From a fourth class municipality in 1986, Santa Rosa became a first class town in 1993. And by
virtue of RA 9264, Santa Rosa officially became a City on July 10, 2004. Currently, the City enjoys
the status of a major residential, commercial and industrial center in the CALABARZON, the most
dynamic region in the country today.

2.3 Population

Based on the 2010 National Statistics Office (NSO) Census, the City of Santa Rosa is the third
largest City in the province of Laguna in terms of population with a total of 284,670 and an
annual growth rate of 4.37%. With a total land area of 54.1 sq. km., the Santa Rosa has a
population density of 5,262 (population/sq.km.).

Table 1 shows the actual and projected population in the 18 barangays of the City of Santa Rosa
based on the 2010 NSO Census.

2.4 Economic Profile

The City of Santa Rosa, also known as the “The Lion City of South Luzon”, became the home of
various manufacturing industries and giant investors that made it become an economically
competitive growing City.

This can be attributed to the four PEZA registered industrial estates such as Laguna Technopark
Incorporated, Greenfield Automotive Park, Santa Rosa Commercial IT Park and Toyota Special
Economic Zone; and the major manufacturing plants like the Coca-Cola FEMSA Phils. Inc., Monde
Nissin Corp., Panasonic Manufacturing Corp., Asia Brewery Inc., San Miguel Brewery Inc., and
Magnolia Ice Cream.

Santa Rosa is also the host for the leading car manufacturing companies such as Toyota, Honda,
Nissan and Mitsubishi. It is also a home of three master-planned communities such as Nuvali,
Greenfield City and Eton City.

The City is also famous for its first and well known theme park, the Enchanted Kingdom. It has
also the most number of malls and shopping centers in Laguna such as SM Santa Rosa, Robinson’s
Sta. Rosa Market, Target Mall, Star Mall, Paseo de Santa Rosa, Waltermart, Solenad, S&R and
Shopwise.

Westgrove Heights of Ayala Land, Georgia Club of Brittany, South Forbes City of Cathay Land,
Valenza of Crown Asia, South Lake City of Eton, Pramana of Greenfields, Abrio, Montecito and
Treveia of NUVALI are among the high-end residential estates found in the City. Santa Rosa also
offers comfortable and elegant hotels such as SEDA Hotel, Paseo Premiere Hotel, Laguna
Technopark Hotel and El Cielito.

The rapid industrialization in the City of Santa Rosa is associated with the rampant increase in
population, commuters, motor vehicles, company employees from other provinces and informal
settlers. This has led to severe traffic condition in the City especially during rush hours and
worsens during vehicular accidents.

Use of tricycles, buses, public utility jeepneys and vans are the major means of transportation in
Santa Rosa. Commuters has a wide access on buses going to Cubao and LRT Buendia; public
utility vans going to Alabang, Cubao, LRT Buendia, Lemery via Tagaytay, Lipa City, Dasmariñas,
Cavite, San Pablo, Sta. Cruz and Lucena; public utility jeepneys going to Biñan, San Pedro,
Alabang, Tagaytay, Cabuyao, Calamba and Tanauan. Santa Rosa has a total of 40 Tricycle
Operators and Drivers’ Associations (TODA).

2.5 Physical Characteristic

2.5.1 Land Characteristics

2.5.1.1 Geography

The City of Santa Rosa is located within 121o6’ latitude and 14o9’ latitude, 40 kilometers
south of Manila. Biñan bound it on the northwest, on the south and southwest by
Cabuyao and on the west by the Province of Cavite. Bordering the northeast is Laguna de
Bay.

The City is linked to Metro Manila and other southern provinces by the South Luzon
Expressway (SLEX), the Manila South Road and Philippine National Railroad southline.
From SLEX interchange, the City can be accessed through a national road leading to the
adjacent Municipality of Silang, Cavite. Water transport to the nearby coastal towns is
also available.

2.5.1.2 Geology and Geomorphology

Two types of rocks are found in the City of Santa Rosa: clastic and alluvium rocks. Clastic
rocks consist of inter-bedded shale and sandstones with occasional thin lenses of
limestone, as well as tuff and reworked sandy tuffs and partly tuffaceous shale. These
formations are located in the southwestern portion of the City where the barangays of
Sto. Domingo, Don Jose and portions of Pulong Sta. Cruz and Malitlit are situated.
Alluvium rocks are found in the rest of the City including the Poblacion. These rocks
consist of an unconsolidated mixture of gravel, sand, silt and clay.

2.5.1.3 Topography, Slope, Slope Aspect and Elevation

Santa Rosa City covers a total land area of 5,539.19 hectares. It is almost entirely plain
with 97.89% of its total land area having slopes ranging from 0.0 to 2.5% indicating level
to nearly level lands. Only about 114 hectares or 2.06% of the total land area of the City is
subject to erosion.

2.5.1.4 Soils

Santa Rosa City has four soil types and in order of decreasing quantity, these are: Lipa
series, Guadalupe series, Carmona series, and Quingus series.

The Lipa Series. The Lipa soils span deep as it provides moderately well to well drainage
capabilities. The terrain is characteristically undulating to rolling. Both the estimated
hydraulic conductivity and infiltration rates are moderate. Specific to the City is the Lipa
loam type of soil, which has the best physical characteristics among the soil types found in
 Page |9

the Province of Laguna. The subsurface soil is characteristically brown to dark-brown in

appearance. Other attributes signify it as a mallow, loose and very friable fine granular
loam. Its horizontal boundary is smooth and clear. Subsoil is dark brown clay of friable fine
granular tuffessus material with concretions and an irregular and abrupt boundary. The
substratum is highly weathered tuff mixed with tuffaceous gravel and concretions. Its
boundary is broken and abrupt.

The Guadalupe Series. As a surface layer, the soil is very brown to nearly black in color
with an average depth of 20 centimeters. The undisturbed soil is hard and compact and
bakes easily when dry. When cultivated, the soil becomes clastic and sticky when wet.
When dry, it is coarse, granular and cloddy. As a subsoil, it is clay, finely granular and
sticky when wet. Its color is lighter than that of the surface soil. The soil is underlain with a
zone of volcanic tuff material with crevices filled with dark colored soil leached from
percolation through the surface soil. The substratum is primarily massive volcanic tuff. Its
topography in undulating to rolling while erosion is most probable. Guadalupe series
covers about 1,296 hectares or 23.38% of the City’s total land area situated in the
barangays of Dita, Pooc, Labas, Tagapo, Balibago, Market Area, Caingin and in the
adjacent portions of Macabling, Pulong Sta. Cruz, Dita, Malusak, Kanluran and Ibaba.

The Carmona Series. Carmona series soils are derived from the weathered product of
volcanic tuff material. Generally, this series of soils is shallow to moderately deep
occurring in rolling to strongly rolling contours evidently with slopes. Drainage properties
are poor as hydraulic conductivity is moderately slow. In the City of Santa Rosa, there are
two soil types within the Carmona series. These are Carmona clay loam and Carmona
sandy loam. Carmona clay loam as a surface layer is brown to light grayish-brown clay
loam with few concretions possessing a smooth clear boundary. The subsoil is brown to
light-grayish brown clay with tufferneous material and concretions with boundary
comparable to that of the surface layer. Substratum is light yellowish brown to light
grayish-brown in color. It is highly weathered tuff with concretions. The topography is
gently undulating to slightly rolling with drainage from fair to poor. Carmona sandy loam
as a surface layer is pale brown to gray sandy clay with plenty of concretions. It is friable
when moderately dry. When wet, it is sticky and pinetic. As subsoil, it is pale brown to
yellowish gray clastic clay when wet, with plenty of dark brown and reddish brown
concretion. When dry, it is hard and compact. As substratum, it is highly weathered
tuffaceous material. The Carmona series covers 217 hectares or 3.92% of the City’s land
area along the western’s edge of Brgy. Sto. Domingo and western portion of Brgy.
Macabling.

The Quingis Series. Quingis series is generally very deep. The well-drained soils occur on
level to nearly level terrain as well as on river levees of the alluvial landscape. Hydraulic
conductivity is moderately slow as the basic infiltration rate is moderate. Surface soil is
typically light brown. At times, it is pale brown when along the river bank. It is usually
loose and very seldom compact, except in undisturbed and higher areas. Subsoil is
characteristically light brown with heavier materials than the surface soil. Quingis series,
 P a g e | 10

specifically the Quinga fine sandy loam type of soil covers 2.34 hectares of land along the
lakeshores in the barangays of Sinalhan and Aplaya and in portions of Tagapo, Ibaba,
Kanluran, Malusak, Market Area and Caingin.

2.5.1.5 Land Use Classification

Residential, industrial and agriculture sectors, in order of priority, ranked highest in land use
(Appendix A). Residential development is driven by rapid migration of people from other regions
and provinces. Industries require more land as a manufacturing base. Agriculture is gradually
losing its share in land use. Other sectors are catching up competing for land use.

2.5.2 Water Characteristics

2.5.2.1 Location and extent/size of surface freshwater resources

Feature attributed to this map refer to the preservation of ecological balance and local
fishing grounds. The river system drains to the northeast, meeting Laguna de Bay.

Fishing grounds/fish pens for subsistence fishing. This category refers to the lakeside
areas of Santa Rosa whose residents rely on fishing for sustenance and profit.

Rivers, streams and creeks. Easements of 3-4 meters from both sides throughout the
entire length of any river considered environmentally critical. Areas within this range are
subject to easement for public use in the interest of recreation, fishing, etc.

General groundwater information. The types of rocks lain beneath the City are clastic and
alluvium, both known for good water bearing abilities. As such, the area possesses fair to
good groundwater resource.

2.5.2.2 Water Use and Regulation

Santa Rosa’s water supply system which serves a small portion of the City’s 11 barangays
is formerly operated by Provincial Waterworks Office (PWO) until transferred to the
Laguna AAA Water Management Services Corporation and was recently purchased by the
Ayala Group of Companies. No major improvements and expansion were undertaken
even after the operation and management had been turned over to the private operator.
LAAA sources of water supply are Matang Tubig springs in Cabuyao and deep wells.

Several subdivisions and industries operate their own water supply system and some uses
deep wells as source of water. Residents who have no access to piped water supply rely
on individual shallow wells. In studies commissioned by JICA and Benpres, the estimated
per capita consumption is about 152 liter per capita demand (lpcd) and 161 lpcd,
respectively. In both studies, the following deficiencies were pointed out: 1) only about 3
percent of the total population is served, 2) low to zero pressure during peak demand, 3)
high non-revenue water, 4) presence of leaks in pipes, and 5) old and undersized pipes.

Based on the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) record, the estimated safe yield
and total ground water extraction for the Province of Laguna are 14,000 liters per second
(lps) in an area of 1,759 square kilometer and 7,967.66 liters per second (lps),
respectively. Indeed, Laguna has vast water resource that remains to be tapped,
conserved and protected. Likewise, Santa Rosa has 110 ground water permittees
(domestic, commercial, industrial and irrigation) with total extraction of 1,431.616 liters
 P a g e | 12

per second (lps). The specific capacity of the wells within the vicinity of Santa Rosa ranges
from 1 to 30 liters per meter (l/s/m).

Board (NWRB)

2.5.2.3 Surface Water and Stream Condition

Rivers, Lakes and Springs. Water flowing at the Santa Rosa River comes from the
watersheds of neighboring Cavite. The river acts as a natural boundary from the
Municipality of Biñan before it drains into Laguna de Bay. DENR categorizes the river as
class C, meaning it is only suitable for aquaculture, fisheries, recreation and extraction for
industrial uses. The City is principally drained by the Santa Rosa River, Diezmo River and
Cabuyao River which all flow from the mountainous area of Silang, Cavite towards Laguna
de Bay. Serving as natural boundaries between Santa Rosa and Cabuyao are the Diezmo
River and Cabuyao River.

Laguna de Bay. Ebbing the northeastern shores of Santa Rosa is the largest lake in the
Philippines, the Laguna de Bay and also referred to as Laguna Lake. The lake has a total
surface area of 90,000 hectares, an average depth of 2.8 meters, and a total volume of 3.2
billion cubic meters. There are 21 tributaries contributing to the lake and among these are
the rivers of Santa Rosa.

2.5.2.4 Surface Water Quality

Neither the DENR nor LLDA monitors Santa Rosa River’s water quality. However, an
Environmental Impact Study on water quality was conducted during the proposed
establishment of the Santa Rosa Business Park. The study concluded that the Santa Rosa
river exhibited very good upstream quality but poor downstream quality.

The lake, however, has undergone extensive and continuing study because of its role as
the most significant resource in the City of Santa Rosa. In 1996, the LLDA conducted a
water quality study which monitored several points in the lake and within selected
tributary rivers. The station in the closest proximity to Santa Rosa was Station 1 or the
West Bay located south of the mouth of Pasig River and northeast of the City. The study
did not include sampling within the City itself. However, since the only outlet for the bay
is Pasig River, it is conceivable that any negative impacts of Santa Rosa to the lake can
somewhat be implied by quality monitored at this point. Temperature stayed within
allowable limits as did pH, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen
demand, nitrate, ammonia, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, chloride, oil and
grease, chromium and copper.
 P a g e | 13

2.5.2.5 Water Catchment / Water Area

Due to the good water bearing capabilities of the alluvium and clastic rocks underlain in
Santa Rosa, groundwater resources are accessible. Two categories of wells were identified
as well as potential areas of saline intrusion.
Potential areas of saltwater intrusion. Saltwater intrusion is a perceived problem should
waters from Manila Bay flush into the lake and lakeshore communities exceed the safe
yield limits of their aquifers.

Potentially high yielding wells. In areas, aside from the lakeshore barangays, Pulong Sta.
Cruz, Malitlit, Don Jose and Sto. Domingo, the City can utilize high yielding wells.

Deep well areas. Pulong Sta. Cruz, Malitlit Don Jose and Sto. Domingo constitute this
category.

2.5.3 Geologic Hazards

2.5.3.1 Earthquake Hazard

The region of Laguna is strongly faulted given the presence of the Marikina Valley Fault
which traverses a north-south direction. The fault is disrupted by a number of minor steep
faults along its course that is reflective of the volcanic activity relative to the area.
Earthquakes are a hazard in Santa Rosa as the West Marikina Valley Fault traverses Brgy.
Sto. Domingo.

2.5.3.2 Flood Hazard

Floodplains of the City sprawl a total of 302 hectares. Situated in this zone are Sinalhan,
Aplaya and Caingin and in portions of Tagapo, Ibaba, Labas, Pooc, Dila and Dita.

Slight seasonal run-off flooding is characterized by accumulated shallow run-off flood,

which subsides within a short period ranging from a few hours to three days. This occurs
in low to moderately low flood plains situated in Kanluran, Malusak and Ibaba. Floods in
these areas are due to run-off accumulation coming from surrounding elevated areas, low
physiographic positions, poor infiltration, permeability characteristics and drainability
outlet. These areas are perceived as poor for urban uses. Flood limitation could be
minimized by proper and adequate drainage planning for draining unnecessary water.

Moderate seasonal flooding is characterized by more frequent and deeper run-off water.
Subsistence of floodwater takes a week to a few months. This condition is observed along
the lakeshore in Caingin, Aplaya, Sinalhan and in the adjacent northeastern tip of Ibaba,
Market Area and Tagapo. These areas serve as the catchment of water coming from the
higher areas and are characterized by poor drainability outlets, very low infiltration and
hydraulic conductivity.
 P a g e | 14

2.5.4 Atmosphere

2.5.4.1 General Climate Type

The climate of the area is characterized by two pronounced seasons – dry from November
to April and wet for the rest of the year.

2.5.4.2 Temperature and Humidity

The mean annual temperature is 27.6oC and is relatively cool due to the site’s elevation
and favorable air shed condition. The warmest month is May with an average of 30.0 o
while the coolest month is January with an average temperature of 25.0oC.

The average relative humidity, measure of moisture content in the atmosphere, is 80% in
Santa Rosa. This makes the City fairly cooler than the Metro Manila area where the
average relative humidity exceeds 81.0%.

2.5.5 Air Quality

Neither DENR nor LLDA monitor air quality in the city. However, an investigation was
conducted in 1994 for EIS purposes. Although dated, the study concluded air quality to be
well within allowable limits. For 2016, ambient air quality in the City will be monitored
with the installation of the ambient air quality monitoring station donated by the
Environmental Management Bureau.

SECTION III. CURRENT SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT CONDITIONS

3.1 Institutional Arrangements

Department of Environment and Natural Resources. DENR is the primary government agency that
regulates the implementation of environmental programs, laws and policies. It coordinates with
different government agencies, local government units (LGUs) and private sectors involved in
environmental management and protection to ensure the efficient implementation of
environmental projects and activities.

DENR serves as the umbrella unit for the City ENRO in pursuit of an effective environmental
management practices in the City. Through the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources
Office (PENRO) and the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), DENR is
providing the City ENRO various trainings and seminars to uplift the knowledge and skills of City
ENRO staff to effectively implement environmental programs that include solid waste
management.

National Solid Waste Management Commission. NSWMC is the agency that regulates specifically
matters concerning solid waste management. Their mandate does not only include monitoring of
LGUs compliance to the provisions of Republic Act 9003 but the development and updating of
solid waste management plans and review and recommendation for appropriate solid waste
management technologies.

Laguna Lake and Development Authority. LLDA provides technical support to the City ENRO to
sustainably manage the remaining natural resources in the City. One of which is the Community
Carbon Finance Project, sponsored by the World Bank, that is about to commence December this
year. The project aims to reduce City’s emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere
through methane reduction in the course of composting. It will use all the biodegradable wastes
collected in the City and for this reason, the project seriously encourages proper waste
segregation.

City Mayor’s Office. This Office is providing the City ENRO all the assistance that it needs. All SWM
related programs and events are upon the its approval.

3.2.2 SWM Personnel

The Solid Waste Management in the City of Santa Rosa is wholly supervised by the City
Environment and Natural Resources Officer, City ENRO Erlinda C. Creencia, through the
assistance of four technical and 32 supporting staffs.

A total of 418 street sweepers and 82 environmental armies are providing assistance to maintain
the cleanliness and orderliness along major thoroughfares, rivers and creeks in the City.

3.2.3 Type of Staff Training Available

The City ENRO is privileged to be beneficiary of various seminars, forum, trainings and workshops
with the objective of helping local government units (LGU) to become environmentally
sustainable cities. These are also a good venue to learn from the best practices and programs of
every LGU and to share ideas and thoughts towards the common goal of protecting the
environment.

Aside from national government agencies such as the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources Office (DENR), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Climate
Change Commission of the Office of the President, assistance from non-government
organizations is also on a good extent.
 P a g e | 18

The City of Santa Rosa has been receiving various technical assistance from Deutsche Gesellschaft
fur International Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), French Development Agency (AFD), ICLEI Local Government for
Sustainability – Southeast Asia Secretariat (ICLEI-SEAS), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA),
and Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES).

3.3 Source Reduction

The Project Clean A-L-W-A-Y-S (Air, Land,

Water Are Yours to Save), launched in
February 2012, serves as the banner campaign
slogan for the implementation of the
provisions of the Environment Code of the City
of Santa Rosa, thus includes the
implementation of the first approved 10-Year
City Solid Waste Management Plan (2008-
2017).

To efficiently implement Section 68 of the

Santa Rosa Environment Code on the
segregation and collection of solid wastes at the barangay level, a number of Material Recovery
Facilities (MRFs) were constructed in several barangays through financial and technical
assistance from the City Government of Santa Rosa through the City ENRO. These MRFs were
designed to accommodate the recyclables from households, schools, offices and business
establishments on each barangay. At present, out of the 18 barangays, there are seven MRFs that
were constructed. The 11 remaining barangays are scheduled for construction within the
duration of the updated 10-Year CSWM Plan.

On the other hand, Pick-Up Stations were also constructed on these seven barangays for the
temporary storage of biodegradables. These wastes will be collected daily and will be processed
into composts in the Centralized Composting Facility.

To effectively encourage waste segregation at source, an incentive program is continuously being

implemented which was initially called us “Maayos na Basura, Bigas para sa Masa”. Launched in
2013, it was renamed as BASURANIHAN or Basura at Bayanihan: Ikaw at Akow Mag-Recycle
Tayo!

BASURANIHAN aims to encourage all the

stakeholders to segregate their wastes and practice
recycling. It is open to individual households,
homeowners’ associations, barangays, public and
private schools, government offices, organizations,
and business establishments. The registered
 P a g e | 19

participants shall bring their recyclables to the designated waste market area every month to be
sold in an accredited junkshop.

Parallel to the volume of recyclables sold is the generation of equivalent points that can be
redeemed into valuable items. All the participating entities will be provided with a Green Book
that will serve as their personal record book. The top 10 points earner will be recognized every
July 10 in celebration of the Santa Rosa Environment Day and that same day will also be the
BASURANIHAN Redemption Day.

To lessen the damaging impact of plastic and styrofor in the environment, the City ENRO has
launched in 2012 the program Santa Rosa says YES to RUPS! (Reduced Used of Plastic and
Styrofor) through the Ayoko ng Plastik Campaign.

Production of plastic and polystyrene releases a detrimental amount of toxic chemicals in air and
water. It is not only harmful to the environment but is also hazardous to people’s health. It can
cause cancer, damage our nervous, reproductive and immune systems and lead to some birth
defects These materials are difficult to recycle while plastic decomposition takes too long,
blocked waterways and drainage if improperly disposed, kill marine life and add up to petroleum
usage.

To blastoff the city-wide campaign, Ayoko ng

Plastik! with a tagline “Ang Mundo ay
Fantastic kung Walang Plastic!”, a week-long
caravan was held in 2012 on the major pit
stops such as shopping malls, public markets
and commercial establishments to create
awareness on the regulated banning of plastic
and styrofor in the City of Santa Rosa. Eco
bags, button pins, stickers and flyers were
distributed among the public and at the same
time were enthralled with the Ayoko ng Plastik
Jingle.

In reference to Sections 61-63 of the Santa Rosa Environment Code, plastic bags are only allowed
to be used as a primary packaging for wet goods but are prohibited to be used as secondary
packaging and are totally not allowed to be used in dry goods. While the use of styrofor as food
containers is also banned as well as the selling of such. The project does not only reduce solid
waste generation but is also beneficial to address the problem of flooding in the City.

To address unwanted organic wastes, the Charcoal Briquetting Livelihood Program was launched
in 2010. It aims to lessen the dependence on fuelwood and provide a cheaper and an
environment-friendly alternative for the use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). It seeks to address
the uncontrollable occurrence of water lilies in the coastal barangays of Aplaya, Caingin and
Sinalhan. It intends to provide alternative livelihood opportunities for the lakeshore communities.
 P a g e | 20

The Toyota Autoparts Philippines, Inc.

(TAP) has donated briquetting facilities
such as briquettor, carbonizer, grinder,
mixer and drier to support the program
while a thorough training was provided by
the Ecosystems Research and
Development Bureau (DENR-ERDB). During
the carbonizing process, the carbon
dioxide that is being produced is collected
and condensed as a liquid smoke which
can be used for foliar fertilizer.

TAP is also the lead partner of the City Government in the School-Based Solid Waste
Management Program. TAP was able to adopt a total of 110 elementary and secondary schools
in the implementation of proper waste segregation after its launching in 2006. Trainor’s training
program and continuous evaluation among schools has been the primary structure on the said
program.

3.4 Collection

The City Government, through the supervision of the City ENRO, is providing daily garbage
collection for the 18 barangays, including almost all private subdivisions, as shown in Table 4. It is
spending Php 98 Million annually for the collection and hauling of garbage (City ENRO, 2015).
PTAC is using 48 dump trucks tracking different routes per day. Table 5 shows the schedule for
garbage collection in specific places in the City of Santa Rosa. The private hauler is practicing daily
onsite recovery of recyclables in their facility in San Pedro, Laguna.

Biodegradables from the City public market is being collected and processed at the Centralized
Composting Facility in Brgy. Sinalhan. The so-called waste pickers, on the other hand, play a
significant role in the daily collection of wastes in the City. They are moving from house to house
to check if there are materials that they could recover to be sold in junkshops. These junkshops
are selling these recyclables to large-scale junkshops or in some recycling companies.

Industries, shopping malls, restaurants, and high-end residential subdivisions have their own
private hauler to collect and dispose their wastes including special wastes, please see Table 5.

3.6 Processing Facilities

The Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) on each barangay will serve as a temporary holding area
for the recyclables to be sold in accredited junkshops. The pick-up stations, strategically located
in each barangay, will be the storage area for the biodegradables that will be collected daily by
the City ENRO that will be processed in the City’s Centralized Composting Facility located in Brgy.
Sinalhan.

The facility has four bioreactors with 1.2MT capacity each. Wastes from the Santa Rosa Public
market are also being processed in the facility. These include rotten fruits and vegetables, fruit
and vegetable peelings, chicken innards, fish gills, scales and innards. An estimated of 150 kilos of
composts per week are being produced from the collected wastes of 300 kilos from the public
market. Composts are given for free as per request of the barangays, schools, government
employees and farmers through the City Agriculture Office.

At present, the City of Santa Rosa has seven MRFs and 39 pick-up stations constructed in the
barangays of Caingin, Pulong Sta. Cruz, Don Jose, Balibago, Sinalhan, Pooc and Labas. Barangays
of Macabling and Market Area are scheduled for MRF construction for 2015.

The Composting Process:

Receiving Phase. Wastes from the public market are segregated at source then placed in sealed
containers topped with sawdust. This is to minimize odor and flies before and during transport to
the composting facility.

Processing or Treatment Phase. Impurities are removed through manual segregation of

biodegradable wastes at source. The biodegradable wastes and sawdusts are weighed before
mixing. The mixtures are then ready for shredding. The sawdust absorbs moisture (leachate)
from the biodegradable wastes that eases the shredding process.

Loading Phase. The mixtures are then loaded into the composting drums by layers. An enzyme is
added in between each layer of the mixture.

Decomposition Phase (Aerobic). The decomposition process is eight days. The enzyme acts as a
catalyst to hasten the decomposition process and odor eliminator, preventing fly infestation
within the facility.

Organic Matter + Oxygen CO2 + NH4 + COMPOST

Unloading Phase. The compost is allowed to cool for two (2) more days before unloading.

Curing Phase. The compost is dried under the sum for five (5) hours.

Refining Phase. The compost is screened according to the desired particle size. The partially
decomposed and large particles are loaded once more for further decomposition and refinement.

Bagging and Storage. The compost is bagged according to the desired weight per bag and stored
in well-ventilated storage area.

3.7 Final Disposal

The collected wastes in the City of Santa Rosa are hauled directly to the sanitary landfill of the
Pilotage Trading and Construction (PTAC) in Brgy. San Antonio in San Pedro, Laguna with an ECC
No. ECC-LLDA-2006-095-92001. It is owned and managed by Mr. Danilo Miranda, supported by
200 office staff and waste pickers.

The sanitary landfill, approximately 16km away from the City of Santa Rosa, has an area of 32
hectares with a capacity of not more than 200 metric tons per day. An estimated of 600 cubic
meters of wastes are being collected per day from the 18 urban barangays of the City of Santa
Rosa.
 P a g e | 26

The landfill’s operation is consists of accepting, placing, disinfection, segregating, spreading,

compacting and soil covering of residual waste materials. It can accommodate domestic wastes
such as plastics, cans, polyethylene (PE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, paper,
cartons, glass and food wastes.

All raw and assorted garbage are disposed to the landfill area wherein the recyclables are being
collected by the waste pickers. These will then be transferred to the PTAC’s Material Recovery
Facility for further segregation and weighing. The segregated recyclables will be stored
temporarily and separately per item to the storage area before the final disposal to the
accredited buyers or haulers. Residual wastes will then be covered with six to eight inches of soil
that are being compacted daily. Application of the odor control and disinfection process is being
done simultaneously.

The sanitary landfill does not have scavengers on its area and instead, they have these so-called
waste pickers who are legally recognized by PTAC. These waste pickers are educated and trained
for the proper waste management system. They are provided with uniforms and safety personal
protective equipments (PPE) such as gloves, masks and boots.

3.8 Special and Healthcare Wastes

Various number of hospitals and clinics in the City have varied amount of special and health care
wastes generated everyday which they have properly handled and disposed. Table 6 shows the
storage, collection and disposal systems of selected clinics and hospitals in the City of Santa Rosa.
Commercial establishments and manufacturing industries are also generating numerous amounts
of these wastes and Table 8 shows the storage, collection and disposal practices.

3.9 Market for Recyclables

There are 27 registered junkshops (Appendix B) in the City of Santa Rosa (BPLO, 2008) that buy
materials such as papers, cartons, pet bottles, glasses, metal and electronic wastes. Based on the
workshop output of the Junkshop Summit held on April 23, 2009, each junkshop is able to divert
an average of 219 metric tons of recyclable materials per year. Unfortunately, there is no industry
yet in the City that uses recyclable materials.

The SM City Santa Rosa, along with other SM Supermalls, conducts “Waste Market” every first
Friday and Saturday of the month, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The project aims to encourage
people to bring their trash and junks in exchange for cash and some useful items. It is sponsored
by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the SM Group of
Companies, in partnership with the Philippine Business for the Environment.

3.10 Information, Education and Communication (IEC)

The City Government has developed a number of IEC materials that seek to change the attitude
and behavior of the local residents towards SWM and at the same time increases their awareness
on the impacts of improper solid wastes disposal.

The major awareness programs of the City Government are the Earth Week and Santa Rosa
Environment Day celebrations. The Earth Week Celebration, held every April, includes
symposiums, trainings and workshops,
project launching and the Sikad-Lakad-Takbo
or SILAKBO, as the major highlight of the
event.

SILAKBO, running for seven years now, is an

advocacy cum fund raising activity for the
Save Silang-Santa Rosa River Foundation, Inc. (S3R2), a non-profit organization and partner of the
City Government of Santa Rosa in the protection and rehabilitation of the Santa Rosa Watershed.
SILAKBO aims to promote environmental awareness among the various stakeholders in the
watershed.

SILAKBO was launched in 2009 and is being held annually. Thousands of environmental advocates
are joining this worthy cause from the City and neighboring towns and cities. These consist of
cyclists and runners different industries, commercial establishments, government offices,
people’s organizations, schools and barangays.

The Santa Rosa Environment Day being held every July 10, aims to give recognition to our local
stakeholders, partners from the private sectors, national government and international agencies
on their invaluable support in all our environmental advocacies and programs. It seeks to
empower stakeholder’s commitment towards achieving a clean and environmentally sustainable
City for Santa Rosa.

To help the City Government on its SWM campaign, the Toyota Autoparts Philippines, Inc. (TAP),
in partnership with the Save-Silang Santa Rosa River (S3R2) Foundation, continuously conducts
School-Based SWM (SBSWM) Program that had increased environmental awareness among
students and teachers of the participating schools. At present, TAP has already adopted 110
private and public schools.

3.11 Cost and Revenues

From the total budget of City ENRO for 2015, 22.0% of this was allocated for the solid waste
management programs. Majority of the allotted budget is being used for contracted services for
garbage collection and disposal, operation and maintenance of the centralized composting,
operation and maintenance of charcoal briquetting facility, installation of materials recovery
 P a g e | 34

facilities in barangays, installation of pick-up stations in strategic areas in the City and exploration
of the possibility of setting-up of ‘waste-to-energy’ facility and intensive information
dissemination.

For 2010, an estimated of 59.75% of the total proposed budget was allocated for solid waste
management. Generally, this includes all the operation involved in the implementation of the
Carbonshed Project, city-wide garbage collection and disposal, execution of the Charcoal
Briquetting Livelihood Program, initial construction of MRFs in the scheduled barangays and the
implementation of other programs included in this 10-year plan.

In 2013, the City Government has generated an estimated amount of Php 8M as proceeds from
garbage fees collected from business permit applications.

Special wastes collected by the City’s private hauler from the households were separated at the
established MRF of the contractor in San Pedro, Laguna. These special wastes amounting to
about 2% of the total waste generation of the City will be subject to a treatment handled by the
private contractor.

The industrial and private sector in the City of Santa Rosa is dominated by the car manufacturing
companies and affiliate automotive parts facilities, food industries, malls and industrial
subdivision management corporations. Each of these business entities have contracted out their
disposal for special and toxic/hazardous wastes. These companies shoulder the cost of
transporting, recycling and/or treatment of these wastes which range from Php 50,000.00 to as
high as Php 4,000,000.00 per year depending on the amount and the type of the waste to be
disposed, please see Table 8. Minimal revenues were collected from the sale of scrap/recyclable
materials.

3.12 Key Issues

One SWM issue that was identified is the lack of community awareness on RA 9003 and on some
local ordinances despite of the continuous SWM campaign of the City ENRO. This has led to
various SWM malpractices such as the improper waste disposal that resulted to clogging of
drainage canals and other waterways that in the long run will result to heavy floods; disposal of
domestic wastes that are unknowingly incorporated with hazardous household wastes; unseemly
discarded light bulbs and batteries; improper handling and disposal of electronic wastes (E-
Wastes); and the inability of local residents to segregate wastes at source.

Another key issue is the proliferation of junkshops with inadequate knowledge in terms of
appropriate handling of recyclables and their roles in the ESWM of the City.

Presence of the increasing number of informal settlers and their poor knowledge in appropriate
SWM practices is also one more issue to be addressed. While the safety and health risk due to
the nature of work of the so-called itinerant waste pickers is an additional challenge for the
CSWMB.

All these SWM key issues will result to different health problems that will surely cause danger not
only on the lives of the people of Santa Rosa but also to the people in nearby municipalities.

4.3 Generated Wastes

Table 11 shows the projected population and projected wastes generation per day of the City
until the year 2025. The total solid waste generation of the City, with an estimated population
of 337,956 (2016), is about 257, 480 kg per day based on the average rate of 0.7 kg/person/day
(WACS, 2015). An estimated of 62% of the total wastes generated are biodegradable and 17%
of which are recyclables. The household contributes about 65% of the solid wastes generation
of the City.

The projected population was calculated based on the formula below:

Pn = (Po x 5.14%) + Po, where 5.14% is the annual growth rate from 2000-2007 (NSO – Santa
Rosa)

SECTION VI. PLAN STRATEGY

This section identifies the different desired outcomes of the SWM Plan.

6.2 Diversion and Disposal Targets

Diversion and disposal targets for the 10-year planning period are guided by Section 20 of the
Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.

“Establishing Mandatory Solid Waste Diversion – Each LGU plan shall include an
implementation schedule which shows that within five years after the effectivity of this Act; the
LGU shall divert at least 25% of all solid waste from waste disposal facilities through the re-use,
recycling and composting activities and other resource recovery activities; Provided, that the
waste diversion goals shall be increased every three years thereafter: Provided, further, that
nothing in this section prohibits a local government unit from implementing re-use, recycling
and composting activities designed to exceed the goal.”

 Page |1

An effective re-use, recycling and composting campaign of the City Government associated with
the full cooperation of all residential and private entities will give higher diversion and lower
disposal rates. In 2017, the plan aims to have a 90% diversion rate with a 10% disposal rate.
This shall result in the lower waste collection and hauling costs in the City, thus, will provide
opportunities to implement additional environmental funds for more SWM related programs
and activities.

6.3 Strategies

6.3.1 General Approach

6.3.1.1 Continued Partnership with the Private Sector

The City Government of Santa Rosa will sustain the services of a private hauler for garbage
collection and disposal in the sanitary landfill. The NGO’s and private corporations will be
encouraged to actively participate in the SWM particularly on composting, re-use, recycling and
waste reduction.

6.3.1.2 Introduction of the Incentive Program

The City Government of Santa Rosa will introduce an incentive program to encourage the
participation of all stakeholders. The incentive program could be in the form of monetary
reward, certificate of recognition and others. The incentive program would involve individuals,
private organizations including non-government organizations that have undertaken
outstanding and innovative projects, technologies, processes and techniques or activities on
SWM. The said reward will be coming from the revenues generated from the collected
recyclables sold in the accredited junkshops in each MRF in all barangays. The incentive
program shall be extended to the barangay level to reward those stakeholders who have
significant contribution in the program.

6.3.1.3 Establishment of SWM database

As part of the implementation strategy to collect the solid waste data from various sources, the
City Government through the City ENRO shall develop and maintain the City’s SWM database to
determine waste generation, waste diversion as well as waste disposal methods.

Research of Appropriate Technology

The City Government shall continue to improve and to update different SWM technologies. The
City Government through the CSWMB shall continue to participate in conferences, workshops
and other activities to gain updated information on alternative solutions on ESWM. The City
Government shall maintain a knowledge management center on SWM.

Strict Enforcement of RA 9003

 Page |2

The inability of the Santa Rosa residents to comply with RA 9003 was one of the concerns that
were encountered in the implementation and enforcement of the Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act. The City Government of Santa Rosa will try to exert more efforts in the strict
enforcement of the different provisions of RA 9003. Citation ticket shall be reintroduced and
periodic review and assessment shall be conducted.

Strict Implementation of the City Environment Code

The City of Santa Rosa’s local environment policy which supercedes all other environmental
ordinances will have to be fully implemented. The implementing rules and regulations is
expected to be adopted by the City Council by 2016. This will pave the way for the efficient and
effective implementation of the Code.

Institutional Approach

6.3.2.1 Barangay-Based SWM

The 18 Barangay Solid Waste Management (BSWM) Committees as stipulated in RA 9003 shall
be responsible and accountable in the implementation of Barangay-Based SWM program.
Through the assistance of the City Solid Waste Management Board (CSWMB) and the Technical
Working Group (TWG), the BSWM Committee will focus on the establishment of the Material
Recovery Facility (MRF) in partnership with the accredited junkshops.

A SWM incentive program known as “Maayos na Basura, Bigas para sa Masa” will be launched
upon MRF construction on each barangay. This aims to encourage people to segregate their
wastes in compliance to RA 9003. The TWG, through the City ENRO, will conduct a thorough IEC
campaign among households, schools, offices and business establishments in prior to its
implementation.

These MRFs will serve as the central station for all biodegradables, recyclables and residuals in
each barangay. Related policies will be formulated to regulate the operation of MRF and the
accredited junkshops, and for the implementation of the SWM incentive program. This will also
include the fines to be imposed for those who will still dispose biodegradables and recyclables,
instead of residuals alone.

School-Based SWM

Through the initiatives of the Toyota Autoparts Philippines, Inc. (TAP) in coordination with the
S3R2 and the City Government of Santa Rosa, the School-Based SWM Program has already
adopted 50 schools. The first 30 schools had undergone waste management competition with
six months of rigid monitoring and evaluation. Trainings were also provided to enhance the
school’s waste management practices.
 Page |3

In the next two to three years, the TAP is looking forward for the participation of the remaining
14 remaining schools to be adopted and more teachers and students to be trained to help the
City Government on its advocacy for a sustainable SWM.
City Government Office-Based SWM

To set good examples in the City, all City Government offices shall implement proper waste
segregation and the City Government employees shall serve as the role model by way of
practicing waste segregation at home and in the office.

The City Government shall introduce SWM incentive program to encourage the different
departments and units of the City Government to actively participate and sustain its
participation. Office utility workers shall serve as the focal persons and are responsible for the
collection of segregated wastes in their offices. They are also the target recipient of any
additional funds that will be raised from this project.

The City ENRO will provide a system that will help in the operation of a MRF both for
biodegradables and recyclables generated from City Government offices. It will serve as venue
to exchange wastes into goods.

Sectoral-Based SWM
The CSWMB will strengthen its partnership with the private sectors specifically with the
environmental enthusiasts. This is through constant communication with the stakeholders
seeking for a more stable partnership and their continuous involvement for every SWM Project.
The City Government will give rewards to individuals and private organizations, including NGOs,
which have undertaken outstanding and innovate projects, technologies, processes and
techniques or activities. Rewards will come from the sales of the recycled products derived
from household, business establishment and agricultural wastes. The incentive program shall
be extended to the barangay level to reward those stakeholders who have significant
contribution in the SWM program.

After the pilot implementation of the Office-Based SWM, the CSWMB will sustain the
development and management of the SWM database to determine waste generation, waste
diversion, and waste disposal of the various SWM stakeholders.

The CSWMB will conduct continuous research, through stakeholder’s participation, to arrive
with advanced and appropriate technologies for SWM. The TWG shall continue to participate in
conferences, workshops and other activities to gain updated information on alternative
solutions on SWM.

SECTION VII. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 Page |4

This section contains the detailed description of source reduction programs that are
continuously being implemented by the City Government of Santa Rosa upon the approval of its
first 10-Year CSWM Plan for 2008-2017 in 2011.

7.1 Source Reduction

The Project Clean A-L-W-A-Y-S (Air, Land, Water Are Yours to Save), launched in February 2012,
serves as the banner campaign slogan for the implementation of the provisions of the
Environment Code of the City of Santa Rosa, thus includes the implementation of the first
approved 10-Year City Solid Waste Management Plan (2008-2017).

To efficiently implement Section 68 of the Santa Rosa Environment Code on the segregation
and collection of soild wastes at the barangay level, a number of Material Recovery Facilities
(MRFs) were constructed in several barangays through financial and technical assistance from
the City Government of Santa Rosa through the City ENRO. These MRFs were designed to
accommodate the recyclables from households, schools, offices and business establishments on
each barangay. At present, out of the 18 barangays, there are seven MRFs that were
constructed. The 11 remaining barangays are scheduled for construction within the duration of
the updated 10-Year CSWM Plan.

On the other hand, Pick-Up Stations were also constructed on these seven barangays for the
temporary storage of biodegradables. These wastes will be collected daily and will be processed
into composts in the Centralized Composting Facility.

RESIDUALS MANAGEMENT

To effectively encourage waste segregation at source, an incentive program is continuously

being implemented which was initially called us “Maayos na Basura, Bigas para sa Masa”.
Launched in 2013, it was renamed as BASURANIHAN or Basura at Bayanihan: Ikaw at Akow
Mag-Recycle Tayo!

BASURANIHAN aims to encourage all the stakeholders to segregate their wastes and practice
recycling. It is open to individual households, homeowners’ associations, barangays, public and
private schools, government offices, organizations, and business establishments. The registered
participants shall bring their recyclables to the designated waste market area every month to
be sold in an accredited junkshop.

Parallel to the volume of recyclables sold is the generation of equivalent points that can be
redeemed into valuable items. All the participating entities will be provided with a Green Book
that will serve as their personal record book. The top 10 points earner will be recognized every
July 10 in celebration of the Santa Rosa Environment Day and that same day will also be the
BASURANIHAN Redemption Day.
 Page |5

To widely promote waste segregation, the 3-Bin Collection System Along the Road will be
implemented. Three-waste bins for biodegradables, recyclables and residuals will be placed
along the highway with the distance of 50 meters apart to maintain the cleanliness and regulate
waste disposal in the national road.

To lessen the damaging impact of plastic and styrofor in the environment, the City ENRO has
launched in 2012 the program Santa Rosa says YES to RUPS! (Reduced Used of Plastic and
Styrofor) through the Ayoko ng Plastik Campaign.

Production of plastic and polystyrene releases a detrimental amount of toxic chemicals in air
and water. It is not only harmful to the environment but is also hazardous to people’s health. It
can cause cancer, damage our nervous, reproductive and immune systems and lead to some
birth defects These materials are difficult to recycle while plastic decomposition takes too long,
blocked waterways and drainage if improperly disposed, kill marine life and add up to
petroleum usage.

To blastoff the city-wide campaign, Ayoko ng Plastik! with a tagline “Ang Mundo ay Fantastic
kung Walang Plastic!”, a week-long caravan was held in 2012 on the major pit stops such as
shopping malls, public markets and commercial establishments to create awareness on the
regulated banning of plastic and styrofor in the City of Santa Rosa. Eco bags, button pins,
stickers and flyers were distributed among the public and at the same time were enthralled
with the Ayoko ng Plastik Jingle.

In reference to Sections 61-63 of the Santa Rosa Environment Code, plastic bags are only
allowed to be used as a primary packaging for wet goods but are prohibited to be used as
secondary packaging and are totally not allowed to be used in dry goods. While the use of
styrofor as food containers is also banned as well as the selling of such. The project does not
only reduce solid waste generation but is also beneficial to address the problem of flooding in
the City.

Meanwhile, to address the unavoidable use of plastic and styrofor in the market and business
establishments, Residual Utilization and Management will be instigated in 2016. Residuals,
such as plastic and styrofor, will undergo the process of encapsulation to produce pavement
blocks and plant pots. Encapsulation is a waste treatment technology that minimizes the use of
virgin materials through the use of non-biodegradables. The technology reduces the volume of
wastes that requires treatment or disposal, thus, allowing additional economic and
environmental incentives.

Accreditation of junkshops will be institutionalized to regulate the junkshop’s operational

system. Junkshops must secure a business permit and an environmental clearance not only for
the accreditation process but also to legitimize their operations. The owner must comply with
all the restrictions and policies set by the DENR for the proper establishment and operation of
junkshops. Non-compliance of the above requirements will not only result to the
 Page |6

disqualification from the accreditation process but also to an automatic closure. Operation will
only resume upon the completion of the necessary permits and clearances.

To address unwanted organic wastes, the Charcoal Briquetting Livelihood Program was
launched in 2010. It aims to lessen the dependence on wood and provide a cheaper and an
environment-friendly alternative for the use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). It seeks to
address the uncontrollable proliferation of water lilies in the coastal barangays of Aplaya,
Caingin and Sinalhan. It intends to provide alternative livelihood opportunities for the lakeshore
communities.

The Toyota Autoparts Philippines, Inc. (TAP) has donated briquetting facilities such as
briquettor, carbonizer, grinder, mixer and dryer to support the program while a thorough
training was provided by the Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (DENR-ERDB).
During the carbonizing process, the carbon dioxide that is being produced is collected and
condensed as a liquid smoke which can be used for foliar fertilizer.

By 2013, after the implementation of the above programs, it is estimated that there will be
32.85% Diverted Recyclables, 28.55% Diverted Biodegradables and 1.59% Diverted Residuals.

7.2 Collection

7.2.1 Overview

Biodegradable wastes from each pick-up station will be collected every morning by the City
ENRO and will be transferred to the Centralized Composting Facility. Barangays will be clustered
for the schedule of collection.

All recyclables temporary stored in MRFs will be sold to junkshops by each barangay while
some types of residuals will be collected by CEMEX Philippines to be used in cement
production. The remaining residuals will be collected by the accredited private hauler, the
Pilotage Trading and Construction (PTAC), with sanitary landfill located in San Pedro, Laguna.

For strict implementation and compliance, only the residuals will be collected by the private
hauler, any other wastes will not be collected.

7.2.2 Collection equipment and routes

Ten-wheeler dump trucks will be used for the collection of residual wastes that will be disposed
in the sanitary landfill in San Pedro, Laguna. While the six-wheeler truck of the City ENRO will
have a daily collection of biodegradable wastes from the pick-up stations.
 Page |7

7.2.3 Private collection service

Residual wastes will be collected by the Pilotage Trading and Construction (PTAC) that owns a
32-hectare sanitary landfill in Brgy. San Antonio in San Pdero, Laguna. The PTAC’s Sanitary
Landfill and Material Recovery Facility are both under the accreditation of the Environmental
Management Bureau (EMB) and National Solid Waste Commission of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources Office (DENR).

With health safety and environment as primary concerns, PTAC uses environment-friendly
technology in handling solid wastes disposal. Their garbage trucks are being sanitized before
and after disposal while waste segregators are fully protected with gadgets and equipments.

PTAC holds a one year contract with the City Government of Santa Rosa for garbage hauling
and disposal. This covers daily collection of wastes from the 18 barangays and its disposal into
the sanitary landfill.

7.2.4 Segregated recyclables

The segregated recyclables in the MRFs will be sold to the accredited junkshops of the
barangay. This includes papers, cartons, tin cans, glass and pet bottles, metals and aluminum.
No hauling or transportation cost will be used for the segregated recyclables.

7.2.5 Segregated compostables

Segregated biodegradables temporarily stored in the pick-up stations that are strategically
located in each barangay will be collected by the City ENRO. Compostables could include food
leftovers, rotten fruits and vegetables, peelings, and other kitchen/cooking wastes.

7.2.6 Mixed solid waste/residuals

The mixed solid wastes/residuals will be collected by PTAC dump trucks. These wastes will be
segregated at their landfill area and will be brought to their MRF for further segregation and
treatment.

7.3 Segregation, Recycling and Composting

Supported by a City Ordinance, waste segregation will be strictly implemented to households,

schools, offices and business establishments. These sectors will be responsible in bringing these
segregated wastes to the MRF in their barangay in exchange for given kilos of rice. Through this
incentive program, and due to worsening economic crisis the country is experiencing, people
will be encouraged to segregate their wastes in exchange of goods.

All MRFs will be monitored in a weekly basis and through these MRFs, a SWM database will be
developed on how much wastes are being diverted for a given period of time.
 Page |8

All recyclables will be sold to the accredited junkshops. The biodegradables and residuals will be
collected and transferred at the Central MRF of the City Government to be supervised by the
City ENRO. Given the appropriate technology and workforce, residuals will soon be used to
produce pavement blocks and plant pots. Using a Bioreactor Facility, biodegradables will then
be converted into composts in a process that would mitigate the methane emission in the
atmosphere. Biodegradables will be used in the Community Carbon Finance Project, also known
as the Carbonshed Project.

In support to the City Agriculture Office’ campaign in the use of organic fertilizer, as an
alternative to the widely commercialized fertilizer, composts from the Carbonshed Project will
be sold at a reasonable amount especially to the local farmers.

But prior to this, the City Agriculture Office (CAO) shall be tasked by the CSWMB to analyze the
NPK content of these composts to determine the amount necessary to fertilize a certain crop.
The CAO shall conduct product testing in a demo farm in preparation for the registration with
the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority (FPA). The CAO shall be able to secure a license from the
FPA to produce and to package the compost fertilizer for marketing.

A city-wide information campaign shall be spearheaded by the CSWMB through the CAO and
the CIO. This will promote the economic and the environmental benefits of the use of organic
fertilizer compared with the commercial fertilizers. Initially, these composts will be sold to the
local farmers and shall be made available in the local market eventually.

7.4 Disposal

Upon the construction of MRF in each barangay and the Central MRF to be supervised by the
City ENRO, implementation of the “Maayos na Basura, Bigas para sa Masa” incentive program
in 2010 and the Residual Utilization Management in 2012, it is expected that by 2013 the City
Government of Santa Rosa will no longer need the service of a private hauler. All
biodegradables and residuals will then be disposed to the Central MRF to be converted into
composts and pavement blocks, respectively.

The sanitary landfill of the Pilotage Trading and Construction (PTAC) in San Pedro, Laguna has a
capacity of not more than 200 metric tons per day, more than good enough to accommodate
the projected quantities of waste for disposal given the amount of diverted wastes. Table 15
shows the increasing rates of diversion that lead to the decreasing amount of waste for
disposal.

The landfill cell of Pilotage Trading and Construction has a depth of at least 30 meters with a
side slope of ranging from 70%-80% slope from a 10 meter buffer zone from the adjacent lot
and at least 30 meters buffer zone from the existing creek. The buffer zone includes the
drainage ditch with dimension of 1.0 meter by 1.0 meter by 1.0 meter for the surface or rain
 Page |9

water flow going towards the rainwater catchment to divert the rainwater away from the
landfill cell. The base of the landfill cell is compacted properly with a perforated leachate
drainage pipes to collect the leachate going towards the temporary impounding chambers.

Residual waste materials are placed properly in the landfill cell. The waste are compacted
properly with slopes less than 3:1 (H:V). The residual wastes are measured at least 1 meter
height compacted and at least 6 inches to 8 inches soil cover thereafter. Vertical perforated
pipes are also placed in preparation for the collection of the methane extraction for conversion
to energy. The final height of the landfill as designed is at least 45 meters to 50 meters from the
final elevation including the final soil cover of at least 1.0 meters to 1.5 meters.

PTAC collects all the leachate generated in a series of leachate pond designed to accommodate
the maximum discharge of leachate at the peak of the rainfall. The ponds will be designed with
containment system to prevent leachate spillage. When these ponds are full, it pumps the
leachate back to the landfill cell site for Recirculation Process through sprinkling over the
surface of landfill layers.

PTAC uses environment-friendly technology. Its perimeter is planted with forest trees to easily
absorb carbon dioxide emission from the landfill. The facility has an appropriate drainage
system to prevent flooding in the area. To prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases,
garbage trucks are being sprayed with Plantex before and after disposal into facility.

7.5 Special Wastes

As stated in RA 9003, special wastes refer to household hazardous wastes such as paints,
thinners, household batteries, lead-acid batteries, spray canisters and the like. These include
wastes from residential and commercial sources that comprise of bulky wastes, consumer
electronics, white goods, yard wastes that are collected separately, batteries, oil, and tires.
These wastes are usually handled separately from other residential and commercial wastes.

Special wastes are now becoming a serious source of pollution that poses harmful effects in
human health as well as on plants and animals. These wastes release toxins that negatively
affect the environment, specifically the soil, underground water sources and the air.

Unfortunately, people remain unaware on the negative health and environmental impacts
brought by these wastes. Its disposal has only given minimal attention and surprisingly, by the
non-government organizations (NGOs) and private entities only. For this reason, the City
Government of Santa Rosa will now make its move to somehow address the problem and
lessen its effects.

All households, schools, offices and business establishments will be educated on the different
kinds of special wastes and they will be encouraged to include this type of waste in their
segregation. Special wastes will also be accepted in the MRF in each barangay. These will be
collected in a separate compartment together with the biodegradables and residuals and will
be brought to the Central MRF.

The City ENRO will take all the responsibility in the proper handling and disposal of special
wastes. The office will conduct intensive research on how the City could solely recycle these
wastes. But for the meantime, damaged and unused mobile phones will be disposed in the
Cellphone Bin Collection of the SM Supermalls and the office will still look for the nearest
recycling facility for the disposal of other special wastes. The City ENRO is also looking forward
to implement the Extended Product Responsibility Program in the future.

7.6 Information, Education and Communication (IEC)

Launched during the City’s 2009 Earth Week Celebration, the K-Na, Laban Sa Basura Campaign
had its kick off by distributing posters and brochures for proper waste segregation as well as
the fines imposed on improper waste disposal and management.

A thorough and a wide-ranging IEC campaign will be prepared to support the following
programs: people’s compliance on the newly created City Ordinances for this 10-year CSWM
Plan; construction of MRF and the details of the incentive program; use of locally made organic
fertilizer; RUPS; utilization and management of residuals; and marketing of the recycled
products.
 Page |2

To minimize the use of tarpaulin, the CSWMB shall implement its IEC campaign through the use
of electronic billboard. Aside from City Government’s program announcements, it will also
accept business advertisements with reasonable fees involved.

7.7 Market Development

The probability of wide acceptance and preference of the recycled products such as the bricks,
pavement blocks, hollow blocks which were partly made from residual waste materials, flower
pots from melted styrofoams and compost from biodegradable wastes and charcoal briquettes
from organic waste materials is high due to the following factors:

Lower Cost

The lower cost of the recycled products is one determining factor for the acceptance and
preference of the customers. Due to economic considerations, clients prefer materials of lower
cost over highly-priced materials without sacrificing quality and aesthethic characteristic of the
product.

Advantages and Benefits

The customers must be well-informed of the advantages to the seller or manufacturer of the
product and to the clients as well. For instance, the customers should know that purchasing
recycled products produced by the City Government of Santa Rosa would help support various
environmental programs and projects and would benefit the City’s constituents.

Effects on the environment

Purchase of recycled products would mean reduction in the volume of the waste being
disposed in the landfill and translates proportionally to a higher savings on the part of the
Government. Less volume of waste disposed also mean less greenhouse gas produced and
therefore contributes to the global action on the strategies to mitigate climate change.

Backed-up by laws

Purchase of green, eco-friendly and recycled products have been put into law thru the ‘Green
Procurement Act’ wherein consumers are encouraged to buy products that are safe to the
environment.

Encouraged and advocated by different groups

Realty developers, construction and architectural firms are some of the influential groups which
advocate for the use of recycled products. Recycled hollow blocks, bricks and pavement blocks
 Page |3

from residual materials are incorporated into the over-all design of the residential houses as
well as in subdivisions.

7.7.1 Home of Recycled Products

The CSWMB through the City ENRO will put up a store that will be called as the “Home of
Recycled Products”. It aims to put all the recycled products produced from charcoal briquetting,
compost and residual utilization in the commercial market. This will not only give a wider
market for these products but will also give the City an opportunity to be known for its eco-
friendly recycled products. All sales will be considered as the City Government’s revenue.

There will be an official launching of the store featuring the locally-made organic fertilizer,
charcoal briquettes, pavement blocks and plant pots. Local and national media as well as the
local entrepreneurs will be invited to witness this first in the City event.

The City ENRO is in-charge in the overall marketing and management of the store as well as on
the continuous research and development for more recycled products that could be derived
from the City’s wastes.

In partnership with SM City Santa Rosa, a trade exposition will be launched in 2014 to showcase
these products as well as other recycled products in the province of Laguna and the nearby
cities and towns. This trade exposition will be done annually during the City’s Earth Week
Celebration and would be known as the Santa Rosa Recycled Products Trade Exposition.

The 10-year CSWM Plan of the City of Santa Rosa was formulated by the City Solid Waste
Management Board composed of the different departments of the City Government and the
private sector. The plan was a result of a series of consultations and discussions of the members
of the 18 Barangay Solid Waste Management Committees. Each BSWMC composed of the
different local stakeholders has submitted its individual BSWM Plan. These BSWM plans were
consolidated by the City Environment and Natural Resource Office in coordination with some
private sectors. The consolidated plan was reviewed by the Technical Working Group of the
CSWMB. The TWG then submitted the plan to the CSWMB.

The CSWMB further reviewed the plan and forwarded to the Sangguniang Panglungsod to
institutionalize the plan by way of formulating an ordinance adapting the plan and for
endorsement to the Regional Environmental Management Bureau thru the Provincial
Environmental and Natural Resource Office.

The SWM Plan has been implemented by the Solid Waste Management Unit of the City ENRO.
The SWM Unit focuses on Solid Waste reduction, solid waste collection and disposal, special
projects, IEC and Market Development of SWM products and by-products.

The Waste reduction strategy includes construction of Material Recovery Facility (MRF),
accreditation of junkshops. The City SWM plan also includes waste collection and disposal.
There will also be special projects that will be implemented namely Community Carbon Finance
Project, Charcoal briquetting and material incentive program (waste redemption and exchange)
reduction of plastic and Styrofoam, utilization and management of residuals. To facilitate
promotion and advocacy, the CSWM Program has its battle cry as K Na, Laban sa Basura,
installation of electronic billboard to minimize the use of tarpaulin and other environment
friendly IEC materials are being used. .

The recycled products and by-products are promoted through various activities and project.
This includes promotion of composting and organic fertilizer, conduct of trade fair and
exhibition of environment friendly products and construction of a display center of recycled
products in a strategic location of the city.

The CSWMB and its TWG assess and monitor the different processes and strategies of the SWM
plan through trained personnel. The results and findings from monitoring and evaluation serve
as inputs on how to further improve the implementation of SWM in the city. The feedback
mechanism also provides opportunity for the needed technical assistance and capacity
development.

8.2 Diversion Projections

Table 16 shows the Projected Solid Waste Diversion Rate per Type (Recyclables,
Biodegradables, Residuals) per Year. Data were computed based on the 2016 population of
367,956 (projected) and the estimated waste generation of 0.7kg/person/day (WACS, 2015).

8.3 Monitoring Program

A monitoring team on SWM was set-up. Its members shall be the major person accountable for
the implementation, monitoring, evaluation and documentation. Monitoring leaders assigned
on each barangay will be the project associates who will provide an overall assistance to all
undertakings in each barangay.

The members of the Barangay Solid Waste Management Committee (BSWMC) will serve as the
project’s focal person who will regulate all project concerns in their barangay.

A monitoring form will be developed for each program. It will be designed in a format that the
project coordinator could easily determine the amount of waste generated and the diversion
rate.
A monthly report will be made and regular visit to all barangays will be done to properly
monitor the status of each program. Project coordinators will use a participatory and hands-on
approach to effectively implement this 10-year CSWM Plan.

8.4 Alternatives Analysis

Converting biodegradables into composts and residuals into pavement blocks requires a lot
from the City Government of Santa Rosa, from the procurement of facilities up to the marketing
of the products and even up to the overall management of the programs. Without the benefits
of providing livelihood to the people of Santa Rosa and low-cost products to offer in the local
market, the City ENRO might consider other alternatives to divert wastes from disposal.

The City Government might just look for recycling companies to sell the collected residuals from
the MRFs. This will lessen the burden of the City ENRO but it will hinder the City’s goal to be
known as the Home of Recycled Products.

SECTION IX. INSTITUTIONAL ASPECTS

 Page |2

9.1 Roles

The implementation of this 10-year CSWM Plan will be governed by the members of the City
Solid Waste Management Board (CSWMB), specifically by its Technical Working Group (TWG),
in coordination with the Barangay Solid Waste Management Committee (BSWMC). The
CSWMB, through the City ENRO, will be responsible in the effective and efficient
implementation of the plan, conduct monitoring and evaluation as well as planning. The Board
will serve as the policy making body for the SWM and is responsible in introducing innovative
policies and strategies to ensure an effective implementation of SWM.

The CSWMB will sustain collaboration with the City’s SWM partners, namely: Save Silang-Santa
Rosa River Rehabilitation Foundation, Inc. (S3R2), GenTwoFifteen Development Foundation,
Inc. (GDFI), Toyota Autoparts Philippines, Inc. (TAP) and Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Inc. The
CSWMB is looking forward for more private SWM partners.

The barangays, specifically the members of the BSWMC, will be involved in the aggressive
information dissemination within their barangay to facilitate the implementation of this 10-year
CSWM Plan. From the implementation of policies, project details, program execution,
monitoring and evaluation, and up to the impact assessment. The Sangguniang Barangay shall
allocate regular SWM funds and appoint core coordinators.

The implementation of this plan also seeks the continuous support and commitment of
environmental NGOs in the City such as S3R2 and GDFI. These NGOs will serve as the City’s
working network to acquire more funds and technical expertise and at the same to reach out to
wider target beneficiaries.

9.2 Legal

9.2.1 Formulation of Related Policies

City Ordinances, Resolutions and Executive Orders will be created to regulate the
implementation of the programs that comprised the 10-year CSWM Plan. It is expected to start
putting in order these ordinances on the first quarter of 2010. The City ENRO will work closely
with the members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod on the details of the plan. A number of City
Ordinances will be developed for the following concerns:

 MRF construction in each barangay and budget allocation

 Implementation of “Maayos na Basura, Bigas para sa Masa” Incentive Program
 Fines associated with the inability of the households, offices and business
establishments to segregate wastes, bring their biodegradables and recyclables to the
MRF and prepare residual wastes for collection
 Guidelines for junkshop accreditation
 Page |3

 Handling of special and hazardous wastes from the households, offices, business
establishments, industries and hospitals
 Administrative Order for schools to cooperate and comply with the School-Based SWM
program
 Budget allotment for garbage bins to be placed on streets, national roads and public
places
 Reduced Used of Plastics and Styrofoam
 Deputation of environmental police

City Government Structure

The City Government shall not create a separate office or unit for the purpose of implementing
solid waste management. The improvement shall be within the structure of the City
Environment and Natural Resources Office (City ENRO). The Solid Waste Management Program
shall be under the Solid Waste Management Unit with designated personnel. The program shall
include garbage collection, policy enforcement, information dissemination and other related
activities. The City ENRO shall maximize its existing human resource in order to improve
implementation of the SWM program.

There will be no changes in the zoning and building code of the City of Santa Rosa. The SWM
plan shall observe all the basic provisions in the zoning and building plan.
The City Government has plans to impose penal provisions and other legal requirements such
as:
 No segregation, no collection policy
 Scheduling of collection for biodegradables and residuals
 Banning of plastic and styrofoam
 Power to sue
 Pledge of commitment or agreement in the issuance of barangay clearance
 Strict implementation of ordinances

Business Permit Application

There is an existing City Ordinance proposal to require business permit applicants to acquire an
Environmental Clearance from the City ENRO. It aims to regulate the different sources of
pollution in the City of Santa Rosa.
To secure an Environmental Clearance, all applicants will be required to undergo an ESWM
seminar to enlighten them on the importance of proper SWM practices in their business and
vicinity. This seminar will provide them guidelines in coming up with an appropriate SWM Plan,
which will become one of the requirements in securing an Environmental Clearance. An
Environmental Clearance Fee (ECF) will be collected depending upon on the nature and size of
business, please see Table 17 for the ECF computation. To ensure that a large-scale business
 Page |4

will have its own SWM facility, they will be required to have one prior to securing or renewing a
business permit.
 Page |5

Table 17. Environmental Clearance Fee Computation, Revised Tax Code, 2011

Environmental Clearance Fee (ECF)

The Environmental Clearance Fee (ECF) is the proposed annual fee for the regulation of
pollution resulting from the operations of the different sources of pollution. It is the fee to
be collected prior to the issuance of an Environmental Clearance to be issued by the City
Government of Santa Rosa thru its City Environment and Natural Resources Office.

The ECF will be computed as follows:

Environmental Clearance Fee (ECF) = Fixed Fee + Variable Fee (LW) + Variable Fee (SW)

The Fixed Fee will cover the administrative / miscellaneous costs during the conduct of
inspection prior to the issuance of an Environmental Clearance. The fixed fee will be charged
to all establishments (new and existing), development projects, industries and service-
oriented businesses.

The Fixed Fee maybe charged as follows:

CAPITALIZATION COST FIXED CHARGE

Below Php 350,000.00 500.00
Php 351,000.00 to Php 1,000,000.00 750.00
Php 1,000,001.00 to Php 1,000.00
5,000,000.00
Php 5,000,001 and above 1,500.00

The Variable Fee will be charged to industries, establishments, development activities or

service-oriented businesses which have the potential or producing wastewater / effluents in
its operations. The variable fee will also be charged to dry industries or establishments,
development projects and service-oriented businesses with manpower of at least fifty (50)
employees. The variable fee will be based on the volume of water discharges and the cost of
the analysis of the wastewater / effluents / domestic discharges.

The Variable Fee (LW) maybe charged according to volume of discharge and the specific and
 Page |6

applicable water quality parameters.

SECTION X. SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

This section includes social and environmental issues related to the development of full-scale
infrastructure.

10.1 Social Aspects

10.1.1 Social Impacts
The over all implementation of the ESWM Plan may result in different types of reactions from
the residents of the City of Santa Rosa. Some community residents may argue that doing waste
segregation would require so much time and would be unnecessary. The health impacts of
improper waste management however, may provide impetus for the City of Santa Rosa
residents and stakeholders to practice appropriate solid waste segregation. Likewise, there are
number of families and NGOs who will serve as advocates of SWM in the City.
10.1.2 Social Acceptability
A comprehensive IEC campaign is needed to gain people’s acceptance on the programs
included in the plan. One good example of an effective IEC campaign was the consultation held
in 2007 with the 47 stakeholders. This aims to seek people’s acceptability on what was then a
planned centralized composting facility for the Carbonshed Project. It was successful and as of
today the facility is now ready for use. Another one was the Junkshop Summit and Workshop
during this year’s Earth Week Celebration. Through this activity, the junkshop owners and
operators were given the opportunity to articulate their concerns on the solid waste
management program, their roles and responsibilities, the problems and concerns and how
they can participate in the further improvement of the SWM program in the City.
It is expected that the aggressive IEC campaign and the introduction of the incentive program
will result in the active involvement of the stakeholders in the ESWM implementation. The
incentive program is designed to intensely gain the support and participation of various SWM
stakeholders in the City of Santa Rosa. With this, it is expected that the 10-Year CSWM Plan will
have the full involvement of these stakeholders towards its success and the fulfillment of its
goal for a clean and healthy City.
10.1.3 Scavengers
The City of Santa Rosa does not have a disposal site. Consequently, there are no statistics
available on the number of scavengers. Based on the survey conducted with the existing
junkshops in the city, there are about 125 itinerant scavengers who frequently transact
business with the 27 registered junkshops in Santa Rosa.

10.2 Environmental Aspects

The issuance of Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) to business establishments,

construction of MRF, implementation of waste segregation and the conversion of these wastes
into more usable products will give the City lesser amount of wastes generated and wastes for
disposal. Foul odor due to improper waste disposal will no longer be a problem as well as
drainage clogging and water contamination. The composting process will lessen the harmful
gases being released in the atmosphere; thus, lower the worsening impact of global warming.

All of these will lessen the incidence of severe pollution in the City that causes several health
problems that sometimes leads to death. If well implemented, this 10-year CSWM Plan will
make our City cleaner, fresher and healthier to live with.

11.4 Cost Evaluation and Comparison
 Page |3

The cost of waste management calculated based on the annual and investment costs and the
amount of projected waste in a year shows an obviously decreasing trend. The trend is
downward due to less investment and annual costs as the plan reach its 10 th year.

While the cost evaluation on the basis of costs of waste management per person also showed a
decreasing trend. From Php 255.00/person in 2010 to Php 128.00/person in 2014 in a year
explained the fact that less than a peso is spend everyday for every constituent of the City by
the local government. Before the 10th year of the plan implementation, it is expected that
through the waste management projects and programs, income from the various programs
would suffice the waste management cost for each individual.

11.5 Summary

In summary, the trends on investment and annual costs versus the expected income from the
proposed projects will eventually level-off. Infrasctructure and system of management had
been placed. However, several policies need to be fully implemented to obtain the ultimate
objective of an efficient and effective solid waste management program.
