Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Waste Management

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both from
public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping the learners
meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social,
and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent learning
activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help learners acquire the

Wonderful Waste!
The story is set in the Kingdom of Travancore in India. The king of the place is
organizing a feast in his palace. Thus, the cook is busy in the kitchen with the preparations
for it. In order to make sure everything is being prepared in full swing, the king decides to go
in for inspection. When he pays a visit to the kitchen, there is something odd that catches his
attention.
He finds a lot of vegetable scraps in a basket which was of no use and treated as
waste. Upon seeing this, the king orders the cook to not waste those scraps. Instead, he
commands him to make use of them in a wise manner. Thus, it leaves the cook confused
and baffled.

2
 However, upon thinking hard, he does not reach a conclusion easily. All of a sudden,
a rather interesting idea comes to his mind. He takes up all the vegetable scraps and
washes them and cleans them properly. Then, he starts cutting them into long strips. After all
this, the cook tosses them all in a pot and lights to fire to cook it.
To these scraps, he goes on to add grounded coconut, green chilies, and garlic plus
salt. This enhances the flavor of the dish and he cooks it well. After that, the cook whips
some curd and adds it to the boiling curry. Moreover, he also pours a few spoonfuls of
coconut oil. These entire flavors combine to give the dish a nice aroma and look.
Finally, he garnishes the dish with curry leaves. And it is ready at last and everyone
ends up liking the dish a lot. Thus, the cook names this dish Avial which goes on to become
popular all over Kerala. And now, it is a part of a traditional Kerala feast which was once
waste. (an excerpt from the story Wonderful Waste!)

Guide Questions:
1. Why is the story entitled wonderful waste?
2. Do you have same experience with the cook in the story? What wonderful waste
have you made

Waste in the Farm

Problem with waste is one of the major concerns in the farm. There are
farmers that did not spend time in doing a routine in keeping and disposing their
wastes or debris produced during, before and after agricultural activities.
Some hazardous wastes are not treated properly and leads to risk with
farmers. In some area’s farmers are practicing proper storage and disposal of
wastes.

Types of Agricultural Waste

Waste is defined as any substance, debris, leftovers that was produced during
agricultural works. Waste can be classified as:
1. Biodegradable (Organic)- wastes that can be decompose and use as soil
enhancer (fertilizers)
Examples are:
grass cuttings, dried leaves, twigs and small branches, egg
shells, fruit and vegetable peelings.
2. Non-biodegradable- wastes that can be turned into landfill or can be used
for other purpose.
Examples are:
planting materials (which may include empty plastic bags
and wrappers, containers and others), glass, bottles,
metals and wires, Styrofoam, gallons.
3. Hazardous Wastes- these are wastes that are dangerous to health for it
may cause injury, death and illness.

3
 Examples are:
broken glasses, chemical waste obtained from using
chemicals such as fertilizer, insecticides and others, empty
containers, galvanized iron sheet, syringe
4. Non-hazardous wastes- these are wastes that do not gives threat on
one’s
life.
Examples are:
kitchen wastes, dried leaves, grass cuttings

Waste Management

Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (RA 9003)

An act providing for an ecological solid waste management program, creating
the necessary institutional mechanisms and incentives, declaring certain acts
prohibited and providing penalties, appropriating funds, therefore, and for other
purposes.
One of the prohibitions of the act is the burning of all kinds of wastes for it will
cause an increase in the temperature of air that may affect lives of all living things.

Process of Waste Management Program

To help the farmers have a proper waste management program the following
process should be follow:

1. Reduce- minimizing the production of wastes by consuming goods which

are really needed. It also suggests to avoid buying or using of single used
item.

2. Reuse- using some wastes for some other purpose.

4
 3. Recycle- turning wastes into new product or item.

4. Recover- make some wastes to be use as coal or source of energy

for our needs.
money

fuel/coal

heat

compost

5. Landfill- disposing of wastes which do not have value at all.

LET US REMEMBER

Agriculture is the dirtiest component of our economy and yet our producer of
food to live. Waste can be classified as biodegradable, non-biodegradable,
hazardous, non- hazardous.
Proper waste Management program in the farm help the farmers in reducing
and handling their wastes and prevent them from any harm.
