The study was conducted from February 2019 to March 2019 in lkloy River in
Indang, Cavite to assess the solid waste management and waste disposal among communities located within the river system. Specifically, the study aimed to: 1. determine the solid waste management of communities located in Ikloy River subwatershed; 2. determine the knowledge, attitude and practices on solid waste management and disposal; 3. identify possible pollution risks due to solid waste present in the Ikloy River sub-watershed; and 4. determine mitigating measures to possible pollution due to solid wastes. Weekly collection of waste using trash traps was done in the upstream, midstream, and downstream of the river for one month to determine the types and amount of wastes present in the lkloy River. Collected waste were segregated according to types and weighed. Survey interview of 108 respondents was also done to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practices of community on solid waste management. Results revealed a total of 15.72 kg of solid wastes disposed in the Ikloy River sub-watershed within a month. The average amount of solid wastes collected was 3.93 kg/week. Among the solid wastes collected were compostables (69%), recyclables (11%) residuals (11%), and special wastes (9%). Compostable wastes contributed the highest amount with 10.82 kg and the least was special wastes with 1.37 kg. Furthermore, the study showed that communities within lkloy River subwatershed were highly knowledgeable about proper solid wastes management, showed positive attitude in terms of waste management, and practiced correct techniques in managing their solid wastes. However, 80 percent of the respondents were not aware that their barangay is part of Ikloy River subwatershed.
Risk of pollution due to different types of solid wastes present in the river may result in degradation of water quality. Strict implementation of RA 9003 and reducing solid waste generation are the possible mitigating measures to avoid pollution risks.
