INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONAs development continues to grow, lifestyles also adjust to As development continues to grow, lifestyles also adjust to
the trend of development and if this change continue to happen, the trend of development and if this change continue to happen, exploitation of the planetexploitation of the planet’’s resources in turn accelerates. For s resources in turn accelerates. For every virgin resource that is being use to produce something, every virgin resource that is being use to produce something, will result to the production of wastes.will result to the production of wastes.
On the other hand, population also grows as development On the other hand, population also grows as development moves on and it is a public knowledge that population directly moves on and it is a public knowledge that population directly affect generation of wastes be it solid or liquid. However, thiaffect generation of wastes be it solid or liquid. However, this s paper intends to confine on solid wastespaper intends to confine on solid wastes. .
Today, if nothing is done, more and more Today, if nothing is done, more and more volume of wastes is produce and if 100% collected, volume of wastes is produce and if 100% collected, this ends up in the dumpsites or landfills that require this ends up in the dumpsites or landfills that require huge spaces and large budgets. If not collected huge spaces and large budgets. If not collected causes unsightly heaps and soil and water pollution. causes unsightly heaps and soil and water pollution. With these alarming issue the Philippine government With these alarming issue the Philippine government exerted effort to come up with strategies to mitigate exerted effort to come up with strategies to mitigate further complications brought about by solid wastes. further complications brought about by solid wastes. Learning from the weaknesses of the past strategies, Learning from the weaknesses of the past strategies, a need to shift our way of dealing with solid wastes.a need to shift our way of dealing with solid wastes.
