Approach to Ecological Solid Waste Management
Source reduction & minimization of wastes
Resource recovery, recycling & reuse at
the community/barangay level
Collection, proper transfer & transport of
wastes by city/municipalityManagement/ destruction or
reuse of residuals /
final disposal
Requirements for Segregation & Volume Reduction
Separate containers for compostables, recyclables, special wastes and residuals
Separate collection schedules / separate trucks or haulers / compartmentalized collection vehicles
Material Recovery Facilities for recyclables & biodegradables
Inventory of markets for composts and recyclables
Recycling Program
Environmentally preferable purchaseSpecifications, product descriptions and
standardsEco-labelingNon-environmentally acceptable
productsReclamation programs and buy-back
centers
