N U R S E R Y ESTA BLISHMENT

To ensure the availability and quality of planting stocks at the right time. Planting materials will likely have higher survival rate in the field rather than through other methods of planting.

Objective

The nurseries serve as demonstration and learning site to enhance the capacities and expand the knowledge of the farmers to produce and propagate their own seedling requirements.

Agro-forestry Demonstration Farm

Objective:

1.To serve as models for sustainable upland farming technologies.

2. To maintain or improved the soil productivity thereby increasing overall yield per unit

area.

in the form of increased income and enhanced

ecological functions and processes as well as an

effective tool to encourage farmers to adopt soil

and water conservation technology.

Components of high value Agro-forestry and natural vegetative strips

ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Objective:

1. To participate and involve in public campaign to be carried out continuously to improve understanding and promoting new approach in management and new technology in solid waste management.

2. To let the community be informed continuously about anything to be introduced in the barangay to improve solid waste management where, at a certain level, the community involvement will promote self-propelling of the development itself.

Ecological Solid Waste Management

Is the systematic administration of activities which provide for segregation at source, segregated transportation, storage, transfer, processing , treatment and disposal of solid waste and all other waste management activities which do not harm the environment.

Segregation-at-source

Solid waste management practice of separating, at the point of origin,different materialsfound in solidwaste

Sources of Solid Wastes

HOUSEHOLDS

COMMERCIAL - INDUSTRIAL SOURCES

- restaurants, eateries, markets, plants, mills, factories(including materials such as chemicals & paints)

FARMS / AGRICULTURE SECTOR- farm animal manure and crop residue

INSTITUTIONS

- hospitals, schools, churches, and prisons

Sources of Solid Wastes

HAZARDOUS WASTES- pose a potential hazard to living creatures because they are toxic or lethal, non-degradable or persistent in nature, and may cause detrimental cumulative effects

MINING- slag heaps and coal refuse piles

Sources of Solid Wastes

WHY SEGREGATE?

1. We cannot depend on landfills indefinitely:

WHY SEGREGATE?

- we are running out of space

- we are running out of time

- WASTE CARRYING CAPACITY

WHY SEGREGATE?

2. Each of us are waste generators.

WHY SEGREGATE?3. Resource conservation & recovery

and promotes livelihood

4. Promote 3Rs of SWM

WHY SEGREGATE?

REDUCE

REUSE RECYCLE

WASTE REDUCTION

“Do I really need it?”

“Do I really need this much?”

REDUCE Avoid over-packaged goods Avoid or limit the use of disposables Buy in bulk

Buy durable, refillable, re-usable, repairable, & recyclable products

RE-USE Maintain & repair durable products Borrow, rent, or share items that are not used frequently Sell or donate goods instead of throwing them out

RECYCLE

Patronize recycled & recyclable goods Promote recycling programs

5. Mandatory under RA 9003

WHY SEGREGATE?

CLASSIFICATION OF HOUSEHOLD SOLID WASTES

COMPOSTABLE/ BIODEGRADABLE WASTE (Green)

- Kitchen wastes, garden wastes, animal wastes, human wastes

CLASSIFICATION OF HOUSEHOLD SOLID WASTES

RECYCLABLE NON-BIODEGRADABLE WASTE (Gray)

- Metals, glass, dry leather/feather, hard shells, recyclable

plastics, rubber,tin/aluminum cans, dry

NON-RECYCLABLE/RESIDUAL WASTE (Black)

- Candy wrappers / junkfood wrappers, cellophanes / soiled plastics, foils, sanitary napkins, disposable diapers, styrofoams

CLASSIFICATION OF HOUSEHOLD SOLID WASTES

- Paints, thinners, batteries, spray canisters, tires, worn-out/broken appliances

Establishing Mandatory Solid Waste Diversion (RA 9003)

The LGU shall divert at least 25% of all solid waste from waste disposal facilities through re-use, recycling, and composting activities and other resource recovery activities.

Goals shall be increased every three (3) years thereafter.

What happened to the wastes we throw away

indiscriminately?

MATERIALS RECOVERY FACILITIES (MRF)

MRFs are the heart and soul of Ecological Solid Waste Management

SWM facilities necessary for the waste reduction program

Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)- Solid waste transfer station or sorting station,

drop-off center, or composting facility, and a recycling facility.

Composting Facility- a component facility of an MRF- Composting refers to the controlled decomposition of organic matter by micro-organisms, mainly by bacteria and fungi, into humus-like product.

Conduct of scientific study before an MRF will be fully operated

Waste characterization- to determine the composition of waste;

Readily biodegradableReadily compostableMostly inert

- to determine what type of SWM equipment are needed.

Commonly used SWMequipment in MRFs

Waste Characterization Survey (2002)

Bio-degradable - 72 %

Recyclable - 7 %

Residual - 20 %

Quotable quotes:

“Waste is a resource that is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Once it finds its rightful place, then it is just

as valuable as any other natural resource.”
