Land Area Total land area 5,650 ha 42% UPLB (tax free) 22% military reservation & other government organizations 36% taxable
The Los Baos Solid Waste Problems Citizens solely dependent on government for garbage management Accumulated dumped wastes for more than 20 years Non-enforcement of local ordinances 24-hr smoke emission from burning combustible wastes Increasing population and business establishments Limited funds for procurement of equipment and machines Non-availability of Sanitary Landfill Indiscriminate use of non-biodegradable packaging materials and composite packaging) plastics
The Los Baos Open Dumpsite in 2001 Indiscriminate dumping inside the dumpsite Unsegregated wastes in the dumpsite Continuous emission of hazardous smoke from spontaneous combustion of garbage Breeding ground for flies, rats and other pests Mountain of garbage along adjoining creek
The Los Baos Dumpsite in 2001
Dumped garbage congesting road and entrance to the open dumpsite Alternate route to Jamboree Site difficult for motorists to pass by due to waste congestion and toxic smoke Health perils to waste pickers and workers
The Los Baos Dumpsite in 2001
Started more than 20 years ago
33-35 tons of mixed wastes generated daily 24-hr burning of combustible, non-biodegradable materials like plastic
The Los Baos Dumpsite in 2001
Smoke rising above the open dumpsite and spreading over neighboring barangays
Waste Generators of Los Baos Total households: 17, 030 Total population: 92, 071 14 barangays 2 public markets Approximately 2,500 commercial establishments
STRATEGIES SOCIAL POLITICAL TECHNICAL
Use of technical, social and political means to find alternative solution to Sanitary Landfill Local employed technology
Social preparation and empowerment of the citizen Political will to ensure proper enforcement, incentives, penalties among others
SOCIAL STRATEGIES
Aim at instilling discipline to the people in managing our wastes Focus on communitywide participation Citizens responsibility in keeping Los Baos clean and green
Organized Technical Working Group from the LBSCFI Los Baos Science Community Foundation Inc. (LBSCFI) is composed of 22 public and private research and development institutions located in Los Banos Technical Working Group composed of members from LBSCFI
Participatory Problem Identification and Solving Encouraging citizens Participation in problem solving through dialogues and meetings Meetings are conducted in different venues, even in the open dumpsite to push for the program to solve the problem on garbage

The Los Baos EcoWaste Processing Center (EWPC)
1.1 ha open dumpsite converted into Eco-Waste Processing Center starting June 14, 2004
Facilities in Eco-Waste Processing Center
228 sq m composting pen measuring 1m x 8 m x 0.5 m per pen Low cost, leachate collecting pond preventing underground water pollution Static concrete composting pens Composting at EWPC
Facilities in Eco-Waste Processing Center
Improved design to reduce odor made of light, available materials (wood, bamboo and plastic screen)
Crib-type composting pens Composting at EWPC
Shredding of biodegradable wastes in preparation to compostingUnload Apply coir dust Sort manually prior to shredding

Formulation of the 10-Year SWM Plan
covers 2005-2014 Aims to arrest environmental ills of the dumpsite through: - improvement of the EcoWaste Processing Center - sustainable communitywide SWM Plan adoption and transfer to other communities
Promulgating Municipal Ordinances and Memorandum Order Municipal Ordinance 2001-08 institutionalizing proper Solid Waste Management Memorandum Order No. CPP-04-203 Pagpapataw ng Kasong Administratibo laban sa mga Opisyales ng Barangay na Di Tumutupad at Di Nagpapatupad ng RA 9003 at ang Pambayang Kautusan Blg. 2001-08

Tables from plastic wastes
Addressing Residual Wastes
Painted tables from plastic wastes used in Day Care Centers
Addressing Residual Wastes
Promotion on use of bayong (native woven bags) as alternative container
Launching the Balik Bayong Campaign, March 18, 2006
At Baybayin Public Market
At Batong Malake Public Market
Environmental Benefits Significant waste reduction Reduced pollution Clean Air
Economic Benefits Additional income to authorized waste pickers(Chap. 6 Sec. 48 Par. 7)
Equipment from scrap materials Compacted slab plastics wastes made into day-care center tables and corrugated roofing material Use of bayong as container instead of plastic bags increased income of small-scale producers Compost to improve crop production and reduce chemical fertilizer usage
Social Benefits Improved peoples awareness in proper handling of wastes Reduced health risk of the people living near and within the radius of smog of the dumpsite EWPC as an inspiration to the people of Los Banos and to other LGUs
Looking ForwardAt Local Level: Further Refinement of Residual Waste Technology (R&D) Utilization of methane gas from solid wastes (bio-gas) Other possible use of plastic wastes
Looking ForwardAt National Level: Policy initiative about manufacturers responsibility on environmental pollution lessen the use of non-biodegradable packaging materials produce packaging materials that are biodegradable or recyclable to prevent waste accumulation recovery scheme of plastic wastes arising from the different products Concerned Government Agencies shall perform their mandated tasks
