WASTE MANAGEMENT
ACT OF 2000 (RA 9003)
Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of
2000;
First Law signed by the then President

Approved on 26 January 2001; and
Took Effect on 16 February 2001
The law requires the following;
1.Solid waste must be reduced at source;

and
5.The remaining waste is to be disposed of

biodegradables are segregated at
source and do not end up in disposal
facilities which translates to cost
saving of 95% (Source: ADB Study)

WASTE GENERATION
NSWMC data base (2015): The Philippines
generates about 40,000 tons of garbage
per day.
An average Filipino generates an
estimated volume of 0.32 kg and 0.71 kg
per day in rural & urban areas
respectively.

trickles through wastes which in open dumpsites
results in hazardous substances entering surface,
