ABSTRACT

The use of garbage is increasing day by day in present scenario which cause a

serious environmental issue, for this purpose we need to make eco-friendly environment

by recycling possible waste. To solve this issue already exist highly operate machines but

they are too costly so the main purpose of our study is to design and fabrication of cost

effective garbage shredder machine. To implement this concept plastic shredder

implemented which consist some mechanical .This machine is used for cutting the plastic

and other kind of plastics in to small pieces, which are in irregular shaped flakes which

can be processed further recycle recovers the raw material, which helps to make new

recycled products.

Garbage shredder is made up of woods and plastic materials that turns a simple

garbage into pieces for purposes. This product aims to lessen the expenditures of an

individual to buy an expensive garbage shredder machine. The research design used in

this study is experimental where it explains and validates on how a certain product will

function through testing it with the respondents. The chosen respondents are the people

who are living in Barangay 607 by means of purposive technique.

INTRODUCTION

Nowadays, we are suffering environmental dilemmas such as global warming,

flash floods and etc. One of the causes of these problems is the misbehavior of the people

towards waste management. Some people are reckless in throwing their garbage. They do

not think of the possible results of their actions on the environment as well as on health.

In most of the world, including North America, we do one of two things with our

ordinary garbage: burn it or bury it. Neither one is good for us or for the environment.

Burning garbage in incinerators releases dangerous gases and dust which contribute to

global warming and pollute lakes, forests, oceans and cities half a world away from

where they originated. Most incinerators in industrialized countries now remove large

quantities of particles and pollutants, thus ensuring cleaner air. Burying garbage also

causes both air and water pollution, and simply transporting it to the sites consumes an

increasing amount of valuable fossil fuels, which produces more pollution and other

problems. But people didn’t know that there is another way on how to lessen garbage

.The researchers come up with the idea of making a shredder machine.

A shredder is a machine or equipment used for shredding. There are shredders

designed to support material reduction across a range of recycling applications,

including plastic recycling, e-waste recycling, scrap metal, tire recycling, and wood

recycling. The shredding process produces raw material to be re-introduced into

manufacturing, as well as finished products such as landscape mulch.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Application of Bond Theory to Solid Waste Shredding

The applicability of the Rosin-Rammler relationship for describing the size

distribution of raw and shredded municipal solid waste has been examined using data

taken from 10 full-scale shredders representative of those used for solid waste size

reduction. The shredded product size thus described has been related to the specific

energy necessary to produce that product by application of the Bond comminution theory

developed for use in the minerals processing industry. The consistency in magnitude of

the Bond work indices determined for the 10 representative full-scale shredders would

seem to confirm the applicability of the Bond theory to the size reduction of municipal

solid waste. Batch shredding tests for paper, glass, flattened steel cans, and whole

aluminum beverage cans, using a Heil model 42D 250-hp vertical hammermill (fitted

with a recording ammeter for current measurement) permitted the estimation of work

indices for these respective solid waste components and provided further verification of

the theory.

The figure above shows the input, process, and output of the research

concept. The Input illustrates the researchers’ thoughts to make the garbage shredder

machine. The Process shows the procedure on how the researchers come up the study.

The Output presents the final result of our study.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Objectives

If the effect is extremely high and therefore proven to have strong effect

on the community, to prove that having a shredder machine can help to lessen or maintain

the cleanliness in Barangay 607 and how the participants can help to achieve the waste

disposal properly.

Major Research Question

How effective does garbage shredder in waste disposal?

Minor Research Question

1. How does garbage shredder help reduce the number of garbage in a community?

2. Does the shredder have a limit on shredding garbage?

3. Who are the possible beneficiaries of using garbage shredder machine?

METHODS AND DESIGN

Research Design

This research paper is a Experimental research paper and uses numerical

approach, specifically descriptive survey method to gather information related to the

study. It explains on how the Garbage Shredder functions and affects the community. The

researchers come up with a survey to collect data on how many respondents helps to

lessen the garbage in their community.

Gathering Data

To show how the data have been gathered, this part include the research

instrument, the respondents of the study, and the procedures in gathering data used by the

researchers to gather data. gathered data through prepared surveys and related literature

and the internet for all of this are reliable sources of information.

Research Instrument
The researchers used a survey form written in English and divided into

two parts namely personal information and the survey questionnaires. There are two

survey questionnaires used: One, for the students; the other for the head coordinators.

For the documentation, cell phone camera was used to capture the respondents while

answering. Only few allowed the researchers to capture their faces, the rest are hidden in

an angle- for personal and safety precautions.

Respondents of the Study

The researchers` respondents for this study are the chosen citizens of

Barangay 607 Zone 61, Sta. Mesa, Manila because their community is capable of

gathering data to create this research. The researchers only chose (10) families consisting

of 5 to 6 members of the family.

Sampling Technique

The respondents used the random purposive sampling in selecting the

respondents according to their field of study to show variance and diversity of the

possible result. The researchers chose this sampling technique because it is the easiest,

fastest, and affordable way.
