Kasama Ka!: Multistakeholder Partnerships for Solid Waste Management SIGMA, CAPIZ municipality were located there, including the market, schools, the plaza, the municipal hall and other government offices. 7.2 Setting up the management structure In Sigma, the Mayor, along with the SB, heads SWM program management structure. The SWM Board then oversees and monitors program implementation, in partnership with the lead implemetor of the project, SDFI Board. The SDFI Program Management Staff manages the day-to-day operations of the program, manages the facilities and the funds and regularly reports to the Board. The SDFI management staff works in partnership with the municipal engineer’s office, which takes charge of the infrastructure /engineering aspects and the maintenance of the SWM facilities. (See Annex C for the Management Structure and Functional Chart) 7.3 Conducting education and information dissemination (1st E - Education) Sustained information dissemination and advocacy would ensure broader community support to and involvement in the program. Sigma conducted the following: • Cultural performances with social messages of the Dagway Sigmahanon, Inc during the launching program • Posting of 18 billboards in strategic areas within the municipality describing the program and encouraging community participation • Recoredas or recorded public announcements with the help of megaphones placed on roving tricycles and other motor vehicles by the municipality and the barangay government units • 19 community orientations by trained facilitators with household members, pupils, students, employees, drivers, vendors and teachers in various barangays • Distribution of 600 leaflets to households describing the composting and recycling process (See Annex D for Sample Flyer) • Production of a video presentation featuring the first year implementation of KASAMA KA! 7.4 Setting up the necessary systems and mechanisms (2nd E- Engineering). This included the following: • Waste segregation-at-source, e.g. at the household/ school/ church. Waste segregation at source. Households were trained October 2005 10
Kasama Ka!: Multistakeholder Partnerships for Solid Waste Management SIGMA, CAPIZ to segregate biodegradables and recyclables. Biodegradables were recycled through composting at the household level, while recyclable materials were either sold or turned into handicraft and other items for sale. Color-coded containers were placed in schools, markets, offices, and churches facilitate collection and transfer. • Collection of segregated waste that is not recycled at the household level. Wastes that cannot be recycled or composted at the household level are then collected by the municipal government. In Sigma, daily collection of segregated wastes is accomplished following a schedule (i.e., Mondays for papers and cartons; Tuesdays for plastics/Styrofoam, etc.). Trained volunteer eco-aides with pushcarts and/or eco-carts go around the barangays collecting the wastes and bringing these to the Materials Recovery Centers. Four units of ecocarts and another 4 units of push carts were acquired to do the collecting. • Establishing Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) and other facilities as repositories or processing sites for the collected segregated waste. The location and land area of these MRFs should be appropriate and adequate for the purpose; selection of sites should be determined by the waste survey and other considerations like accessibility, proximity to households, environmental safety, etc. Biodegradable wastes are transported to the Materials Recovery Facility I (MRF I) for shredding and resizing (MRF 1 houses a shredder), while non-biodegradable wastes are to be brought directly to MRF II. MRF I is located at the abandoned 40 sqm slaughterhouse. MRF II is located inside the public market and serves as the final storage and disposal site for segregated wastes; it includes a tree park, fruit/vegetable and herbal gardens, surplus center, organic soil production area, and a showcase for recycled products. Special wastes from health facilities are screened following appropriate handling practices at the MRF II, and sent to an appropriate hazardous waste treatment and disposal facility. 7.5 Ensuring enactment and enforcement of supporting SWM ordinances and policies (3rd E-Enforcement) October 2005 11
