 IMPLEMENTING LAW
RA 9003
ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANGEMENT ACT OF 2000

Despite the promotion of waste segregation

and collection at source, in particular the zero
waste movement, adoption has been at a very
slow pace due to lack of government support*.

The simplicity of RA 9003’s prescription –

reduce, reuse, recycle at the local level – awaits
serious implementation.
*Executive Summary for RA 9003.
 ISSUES HOUNDING SWM
in
LGUs

 Lack the technical resources.

 Need to encourage responsible private sector
participation
 Need to rationalize expenditures with system
components.
 Lack of accountability for funds spent on solid
waste management.
HINDRANCES TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
RA 9003
IN THE MUNICIPAL LEVEL

 Recommended solutions are expensive.

 Municipal budgetary constraints.
 Lack of know-how and expertise
 Lack of support from the national
government
 HOW THIS PROPOSAL CONFORM TO
RA 9003, ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MGT ACT OF 2000
AND
RA 8749, CLEAN AIR ACT
ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MGT ACT OF
2000
WASTE UTILIZATION
Reduce, reuse, recycle at the local level

 Recyclable plastics can be re- processed and

reused.
 Biodegradable farm and market waste can be
processed into organic fertilizers.
 Other waste materials, such as metal can be
sold to scrap to recyclers.
 RA 8749, CLEAN AIR ACT

 Enact an ordinance that would prohibit the

burning of farm waste will greatly reduce
carbon emission into the atmosphere and slow
down global warming.
 Convert biodegradable waste that naturally
emit methane, such as animal waste and food
scrap, into organic fertilizer.
 PROPOSAL

 Technology transfer scheme in the production of biodegradable

farm and market waste using rapid composting activators into
quality organic fertilizers .

 AIC shall:
 
1. Undertake preparatory activities for the establishment of
the Project, to include organizational and pre-operating
activities.
2. Provide the technology and formulations for organic fertilizer
production.
3. Provide the rapid composting activators.
4. Provide the training for the manufacturing of the organic
fertilizers.
 Manufacturing site requirements
 Covered shed with concrete flooring and water
source.
 Chopper / shredder
 Weighing scales, 1 tabletop and 1 platform type
 Square head shovels
 Portable sieve
 Water hose

Biofertilizer production facilities will be established in 16

Regional Integrated Agricultural Research Centers (RIARCs)
of the Department of Agriculture-Regional Field Units (DA-
RFUs).

This was stipulated in a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)

signed recently by Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) BAR Director Nicomedes P.
and the Agro-Forestry Crop Systems Inc. (AFCSI), a private BAR Director Nicomedes
Eleazar (left) and AFCSI
entity.The MOA was signed in line with Executive Order P. Eleazar (left) and AFCSI

Memorandum of Agreement.
The 18 pilot experimental sites where the biofertilizer
production facilities will be tested are: Baguio City (CAR), La
Union (RFU I), Isabela (RFU II), Tarlac City (RFU III), Lipa
City,
Batangas, and Quezon Province (RFU IV-A), Camarines Sur
and Camarines Norte (RFU V), Iloilo (RFU VI), Cebu City
(RFU VII), Leyte (RFU VIII), Zamboanga del Sur (RFU IX),
Bukidnon (RFU X), Cotabato City (ARMM), Davao City
(RFU XI), Kidapawan City (RFU XII), and Agusan del Sur .
