Local Study

The study aimed to assess the waste management practices of LPU-B. Specifically, it

determined the level of effectiveness of Waste Management Practices of LPU-B in terms of:

collection strategies, disposal and recovery and processing of waste materials; determined the

problems encountered on waste disposal practices tested the significant difference on Waste

Management Practices in LPU-B and finally, proposed an action plan that will improve the Waste

Management Practices of LPU-B. This research utilized descriptive method of research. The

descriptive research is also known as statistical research that describes data and characteristic about

what practices, level of effectiveness and recovery and processing. The respondents of the study

were the staff and heads of different offices/department. One hundred and one (101) respondents

were chosen randomly and purposively. The researchers used a questionnaire as the main gathering

instrument. The researchers concluded that waste management practices of LPU-Bwas effective

in terms of collection, disposable, recovery and processing as perceived by the respondents.

Problems occurred specifically that disposal areas of waste materials were not strategically located.

Moreover, means of recovering and reusing such waste were not strictly implemented.

This is other study that highlights the result of the study that conducted to analyze the waste

management practices of the waste generator and extent of their compliance with the Republic Act

9003, otherwise known as the ecological solid waste management Act of 200 the study was

conducted in Bacolod City Philippines in 2007. The finding of the study serves as faces in

developing a hand book on solid waste management (Bacollados 2010)

 The experience and practices of house hold waste management of people in the Barangay

(village) in Manila PH are documented. the data were gathered through as interview with

households members using open-ended the respondents segregate there waste into PET bottles,

glass bottles & other waste (mixed waste) .some household respondents said that possible that the

dumpling in certain areas caused the degree fever suffered by some of their family member .Most

of the respondents do to collect of disposal is the responsibility of government. The result of the

study showed that R.A 9003 also known as Ecological Solid Waste Management act 2000 is not

fully implemented in Metro Manila (Bernardo 2008).

Foreign study

A detailed case about Solid Waste Management (SWM) the investigation was made regarding

the methods of practices associated with sources quantity generated collection, transportation

storage treatment and disposal of waste in Mysore city .this data concerning to Waste Management

(WM) in Mysore was obtained through questionnaire individual field visit interacting with people

and athletic record of municipal cooperation. Photographic evidence were also made about

generation storage collection transportation treatment and disposal waste .this study reveals that

the present system of that goes with the handling of waste that can often but dangerous if not

handle properly . Waste Management facilities also need to be able to respond quickly to

emergency situation. By their very nature there is rarely any warning that an emergency is about

to occur. For the reason emergency response team need to be on standby every hour of everyday

and every day of year. Waste management disposal and treatment can originated from both

domestic and industrial source.(Rose 2009)

 The study was conducted in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh in India.

Hospitals/nursing homes and private medical practitioners in urban as well as rural areas and those

from the private as well as the government sector were covered. Information on (a) awareness of

bio-medical waste management rules, (b) training undertaken and (c) practices with respect to

segregation, use of colour coding, sharps management, access to common waste management

facilities and disposal was collected. Awareness of Bio-medical Waste Management Rules was

better among hospital staff in comparison with private medical practitioners and awareness was

marginally higher among those in urban areas in comparison with those in rural areas. Training

gained momentum only after the dead-line for compliance was over. Segregation and use of colour

codes revealed gaps, which need correction. About 70% of the healthcare facilities used a needle

cutter/destroyer for sharps management. Access to Common Waste Management facilities was low

at about 35%. Dumping biomedical waste on the roads outside the hospital is still prevalent and

access to Common Waste facilities is still limited. Surveillance, monitoring and penal machinery

was found to be deficient and these require strengthening to improve compliance with the Bio-

medical Waste Management Rules and to safeguard the health of employees, patients and

communities.( Hanumantha Rao, 2008 )
