THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Waste is always an important problem in this era where individuals
are unaware of the waste they make in their homes. waste is constant concern.
Waste is a direct result of technical and social human growth. Distinct wastes
have different compositions that have changed over time and place. And waste
materials have a direct impact on industrial progress and innovation. once
properly recovered certain waste components with economic worth can be
recycled. Waste can be viewed different by different people since some objects
that some people throw away may have worth to others. Taking quick action is
aimed to achieve successful trash management or disposal. Waste is everyone’s
business. We all produce waste in nearly everything that we do like water waste
and solid waste. So in this study we will focus on the solid waste. As we continue
reading this paper we will know the different ways of handling solid waste. We
will also know the programs that should be implemented in every barangay.

declaring certain acts prohibited and providing penalties, appropriating funds
therefore, and for other purposes better known as the Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act of 2000 that provides a systematic, comprehensive, and

segregation, collection, transport, storage, treatment and disposal of solid waste

48.73% of the recyclables in Calamba city are left unmanaged – dumped, buried,
or burned inappropriately. The estimated monetary value of these unmanaged
recyclables amounts to Php5,839,836 ( approximately USD 117,442) of how
