Production of Solid Waste in Barangay

With reference to the generation and composition of the wastes to be managed in small
communities, the residential sector is predominally used for the calculation of waste
production.

Per capita production

The per capita production of Solid waste can be estimated globally, thus;

𝐷𝑆𝑟
𝑝𝑝𝑐 =
𝑃𝑜𝑝 𝑥 7 𝑥 𝐶𝑜𝑣

Where:

Ppc = production per capita per day

DSr = quantity collected in one week

Pop = total population

7 = days of the week

Cov = coverage of the urban cleaning service

The coverage of the service is the product of dividing the population served by the total
population:

𝑝𝑜𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑑
Cov =
𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛

The amount of solid waste produced can also be linked with the number of house that is
kg/home/day, since the garbage is produced per home.
Total production

Once the total production is known, decisions can be made regarding the most suitable
collection equipment, the number of workers, routes, frequency of collection, the area
needed for treatment and final disposal and costs.

The total production is found by the following equation:

Dsd = pop x ppc

Wheere:

DSd = quantity of solid waste produced per day

Pop = total population

Ppc = production per capita

Volume of Solid waste

𝐷𝑠𝑝
V daily=
𝐷𝑚𝑠𝑤

Vcompacted annually = Vdaily x 365

Where:

Vdaily = volume of solid waste to be disposed in one day

Vannual = volume of solid waste in one year

Dsp = quantity of solid waste produced

365 = equivalent to one year

Dsm = density of the recently compacted solid waste and the stabilized landfill
Volume of the cover material

Cm = Vcompacted annually x (0.20 or 0.25)

Where:

Cm = cover material equivalent to 20 or 25% of the volumeof the recently compacted

waste

Volume of the sanitary landfill

Vst = Vstabilized annually + cm

Where:

Vst = volume of sanitary landfill

Cm = cover material (20 to 25%) of the recently compacted volume of solid waste

Calculation of the required area

Once the volume is obtained, the area required for the construction of sanitary landfill
can be estimated with the depth or height of the landfill would have. The sanitary landfill
should be projected a minimum of five years and a maximum of ten.
𝑉𝑠𝑙
Asl =
ℎ𝑙𝑠

Where:

Vsl = volume of sanitary landfill

Asl = area to be filled successively

Hsl = mean height or depth of the sanitary landfill

And the total area required will be:

At = F x Asl
Where:

At = total area required

F = factor increase in the additional area required for penetration roads, border set back
areas, control building and sanitary facilities maneuvering yard.

Methodology

This chapter deals with the method used in gathering and collecting data
related to the study. It described the process and procedure used to investigate the
data and how these data were studied and interpreted to support the study of
proposed solid waste management system.

Project Description

The problem of waste is an ecological concern and should not be taken for
granted. Various environmental problems arise from improper waste disposal and
inappropriate treatment of waste could exacerbate the waste problem and have a
major bearing on the health impacts of the residents living near dumpsites or other
waste facilities.

The project aimed to assess the proper solid waste disposal system in
Barangay Binuntucan and promote a healthier and less wasteful community.

Project Information

The proposed project is a “Solid waste disposal management system”. The

objective of the project is to provide an assessment to the solid waste management
plans of Barangay Binuntucan. The study sought to determine the effectiveness of
the solid waste management plan of the barangay in terms of reducing and proper
disposal of wastes.

The proposed project aimed to develop an effective solid waste disposal

management plan, develop a sanitary landfill to Barangay Binuntucan. And to
determine the volume and classification of waste collected in the Barangay.
 Construction Phase

Stake out

Staking out is done to mark the limits of the lot

Clearing and Cleaning

An area should be cleared to served as the foundation or base material for

the embankments that will form the landfill; it will sometimes be necessary to cut
down trees and shrubs that would hinder landfill operations. This clearing will be
done by stages as the project advances, to prevent soil erosion.

Construction of direct Access Road

The sanitary land fill should be near an all weather main public highway.
The internal access road should meet basic requirements for the easy and safe entry
of the waste collection vehicles at all times of the year.

Construction of Drainage

As soon as possible, any water sources of water existing in the landfill area
should be diverted and channeled before the operation starts.

Construction of leachate

The system for the collection and storage of leachate consists of a horizontal
network of stone ditches, interrupted with screensthat are eathern walls of the
terrain itself.

Interconnection of the systems for drainage of gases and leachate

These vents are built vertically as the landfill advances to ensure that the
material around them is well compacted. It is recommended that each vent have a
diameter of 0.30 to 0.50 m and they be installed at 20 to 50 m intervals by the
technician.
 Construction of embankments

To ensure the sanitary landfill constructed with the area method, several
terraces of embankments three meters in height should be constructed. They will
each made up of two or three 1.0 to 1.5 meter cell.

Construction of cell

The daily cell is the basic construction unit of a sanitary landfill. It is made
up by the amount of waste buried in one day and the earth needed to cover it.

Covering the cell

To complete the cell, it is covered with a 0.10 to 0.15 m layer of earth. This
earth is spread with the help of trucks. It is compacted by rollers following the
same procedure as for the waste.
 (i.e, segregation, transport, collection, disposal, recycling procedures)
enhanced through the promotion of national research and development programs.

As provided in the law, together with the creation of National Solid Waste
Commission, is the creation of Local Government Solid Waste Management Plan
which is strategically enforced in the local government units for the
implementation of safe and sanitary management plans for solid waste treatment in
respective areas.

Objectives of the Study

The study focused on providing an assessment of the solid waste disposal

management plans of Barangay Binuntucan in accordance with R.A 9003. The
study sought to determine the effectiveness of the solid waste management plan of
the barangay in terms of reducing waste and its treatment. Further, it aimed the
following:

1. To provide a solid waste disposal system in Barangay Binuntucan.

2. To provide a sanitary landfill in the Barangay.
3. To determine the volume and classification of waste collected.
