Continuing with the advocacy of promoting
ecological solid waste management in the barangay, the team invited
theMunicipal Sanitary Inspector to the barangay as resource speaker on ESWM.
Mr. Ian Obina discussed with the 4Ps members RA 9003, waste segregation and
composting.
To evaluate the knowledge of the residents
on ESWM, the team conducted a district-per-district evaluation on ESWM
knowledge via metacards game and pamphlets. As of recent, districts 2, 3, 5,
and 7 have been taught.
The team went house to house to survey the
presence of 3 trash bins, segregation practices, presence of compost pits,
composting practices, and recycling practices.
The most recent evaluation shows that 52%
of the total households practice proper segregation, 29% have compost pits and
practice composting, 28% sell recyclables to junk shops, 52% store their
recyclables at home for future use, and 2% utilize the materials recovery
facility (MRF).
For the next exposure, the team will
continue its seminar workshop on segregation and composting in the remaining
districts, enforce the need for compost pits in the households, collaborate
with the barangay officials to conduct monthly ESWM practices monitoring, and
collaborate with TESDA to initiate a recyclables livelihood workshop in the
community.
