PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR SOLID

WASTE DISPOSAL IN CAGAYAN

DE ORO.
SOLID WASTE -> THIS IS THE UNWANTED PRODUCTS FROM
THE ACTIVITIES OF AND DISCARDED BY SOCIETY. IT IS
PRODUCED EITHER BY – PRODUCT OF PRODUCTION
PROCESSES OR ARISE FROM THE DOMESTIC OR
COMMERCIAL SECTOR WHEN OBJECTS OR MATERIALS ARE
DISCARDED AFTER USE.
RESEARCH PROBLEM:

*MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE IS NONHAZARDOUS WASTE POSING NO DIRECT THREAT TO

HUMANS OR ECOLOGY

*STILL THERE ARE RISKS

->EXCESS GENERATION

-> IMPROPER MANAGEMENT, WHICH CAN LEAD TO….

- BACTERIAL CONTAMINATION: UNSANITARY CONDITIONS
- TOXIC CONTAMINATION: HAZARDOUS WASTES MIXED IN
- AIR POLLUTION: INCINERATION OR DECOMPOSING GASES
OBJECTIVE
 MONITOR
 COORDINATE
 FACILITATE
 GENERATE
 MAKE CONSCIOUS
 PROVIDE ASSISTANCE
 DEVELOPMENT
 IMPLEMENTATION
 IMPROVED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
 ACHIEVING 90% WASTE COLLECTION EFFICIENCY WITHIN
30 MONTHS.
SIGNIFICANCE TO KNOWLEDGE

 COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF EXISTING WASTE LITTERED

THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT AREA
 ACHIEVEMENT OF 90% WASTE COLLECTION EFFICIENCY
WITHIN 30 MONTHS OF COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS OF THE
PROJECT.
 COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTATION OF SOLID WASTE.
 WASTE REDUCTION THROUGH EXTRACTION OF RECYCLABLE
MATERIAL (MATERIAL RECOVERY) AND COMPOSTING
 IMPROVEMENT IN CITY’S ENVIRONMENT AND AESTHETICS.
LITERATURE REVIEW

 WHY WASTE MANAGEMENT IS REQUIRED?

 WHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND HAVING UNPLANNED
WASTE MANAGEMENT?
 CLIMATE CHANGE
MEANS…
 LESS HARVEST
 LESS CATCH FISH
 LESS FOOD ON THE TABLE
 MORE DROUGHTS AND FLOODS
 MORE TYPHOONS AND LANDSLIDES
 MORE DISEASES
 MORE PROPERTIES DESTROYED
 PROJECT PROCESS AND
OPERATION
 RECYCLING AND REUSE
 NON-ENGINEERED DISPOSAL
 SANITARY LANDFILLING
 BIOGAS
 COMPOSTING
 INCINERATION
 GASIFICATION
EFFECTS OF WASTE IF NOT PROPERLY
MANAGED:
 AFFECTS OUR HEALTH
 AFFECTS OUR SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
 AFFECTS OUR COASTAL AND MARINE ENVIRONMENT
 AFFECT OUR CLIMATE
 METHODOLOGY
Methods Techniques Tools
 Exploration  Surveys  Questionnaires
 Evaluation  Interviews scales
 Experimentation  Observation  Interview
 Elaboration  Content schedules
 Analysis &  Observation
research Sheets
RESULT
 LANDFILLS – WHERE THE WASTE IS COMPACTED AND COVERED
WITH SOIL BEFORE A NEW LAYER IS DUMPED IN.

 INCINERATION – IS AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF WASTE

DISPOSAL, WHICH REDUCE THE VOLUME OF WASTE.

 RECYCLING – COULD REDUCE CONSIDERABLY THE AMOUNT OF

GARBAGE BY REUSING GLASS, PLASTICS, ALUMINUM, METALS,
SCRAP IRON, AND OTHER MATERIALS

 THIS WOULD REDUCE AIR, WATER, AND LAND POLLUTION.
