Institutional Structure
National Solid Waste Management Commission (Policy Making) DENR-EMB-NSWMC/S (Technical Support and Enforcement)
Waste Generators/Citizens
Creation of the following Solid Waste Management Boards at the Local Government Level:
City/Municipal SWM Board
The most indispensable element of any effective ESWM Program Proven by the enactment of an Ordinance that mandates at Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) must be segregated at source and placed in at least 3 separate containers, (a) Compostables, (b) Recyclables, and (c) Residuals Compliance is monitored through Barangay Level Monitoring Systems
Special Wastes
Non-recyclables/residuals
COMPOSTABLE WASTE
Compostable wastes are biodegradable wastes such as food waste, garden waste and animal waste.
Examples are:
Fruit and vegetable peelings, leftover foods, vegetable trims, fish/fowl/meat/animal entrails/, soft shells, seeds, leaves, etc.,
RECYCLABLE WASTE
Recyclable materials refer to any waste material retrieved from the waste stream and free from contamination that can still be converted into suitable beneficial use.
Examples are: Newspaper, ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals, corrugated cardboard, aluminum, tin cans, glass, papers, etc.,
SPECIAL WASTE
Special waste refer to household hazardous wastes.
Examples are: Paints, thinner, household batteries, lead-acid batteries, spray canisters, bulky wastes, consumer electronics (which refer to worn-out, broken and other discarded items), white goods (which refer to large worn-out or broken household appliances), oil, tires, etc.,
RESIDUAL WASTE
Residual wastes are solid waste materials that are non-compostable and non-recyclable.
Examples are:
Sanitary napkins, disposable diapers, worn-out rugs, ceramics, candy wrappers/sachets, cartons which contain a plastic lining usually used for milk and juice containers, etc.,
Residuals, 4%

Total Segregation Approach
Sorting At Source Segregated Collection Village-level Collection Community / Barangay -level Collection Segregated Destination Management of Compostables or
Biodegradables Management of Recyclables or Nonbiodegradables
Sorting at Source
Provide easy segregation system at source. Use of color-coded bins with pictures is recommended. System should be understood by child to ensure that adults also understand.
Daily segregated collection is best for villages with a budget for bio-man. Every bio-man can cover 200 houses daily @ P1.00. He can earn P5000 in 25 days of work.
Some communities may opt to bring their segregated wastes to bins located at strategic places within their village. More economical when collectors are absent.

If buyers of factory returnables are available, then non-bio wastes do not have to be brought to the barangay MRF. The proceeds are realized by the village. Less transport costs are incurred.
Barangay MRF
Compostable waste need not leave the home. There are many practical ways of managing compostable waste. This will require the re-use of certain discarded materials.
2. TOWER TIRES
3. BOTTOMLESS COMPOSTERS
6. VERMICOMPOSTING
To improve the quality of compost,
it may be fed to vermiworms and the manure is collected as vermicastings. This process produces the best quality organic soil conditioner, which is practiced in many parts of the world.
1. Mulching Operation
4. Compost Processing
5. Fermentation Phase
When bio-waste achieves the proper carbon:nitrogen ratio, it reaches a temperature of up to 60 degrees C. This is enough to kill pathogens. The secret is in the mixture, not in the machine.
6. Maturation Period
Rapid composting still needs time for the compost harvest to mature before application in agriculture. Natures micro-organisms have to be given time to mature at their own pace. Pre-mature compost may emit foul odor.

Redemption Centers
For commercial purposes, recyclables may be brought to a bigger central warehouse. This may be operated by the city, or by a cooperative, or by a private business.
This is required for rural or provincial operations in order to accumulate commercial quantities before transporting.

The fines in RA 9003 shall be increased by at least ten percent (10%) every three (3) years to compensate for inflation and to maintain the deterrent function of such fines.
Fines collected are shared 40% -- Local Solid Waste Management Trust Fund and 60% -National Solid Waste Management Trust Fund;
Set up liaisons with local NGOs, Pos, and IBP Chapters. They focus on prosecution, we focus on evidence and testimony only. Carrot and Stick approach to enforcement
