Abstract: VICEDO, JESSIE M. Waste Disposal Practices in Subdivisions in General Trias, Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Economics major in Development Economics. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2007. Adviser. Dr. Elizabeth E. Polinga. The study was conducted in 23 subdivisions in General Trias, Cavite that have home owners association in order to: identify the policies and programs on waste disposal of the said subdivisions; determine the types of solid waste generated; determine the waste reduction strategies adopted in the subdivisions; identify the common waste disposal practices; and identify the problems encountered by the person in charge in the subdivisions in implementing proper waste disposal practices in the subdivisions in General Trias, Cavite. Data were obtained from primary and secondary sources. Descriptive method was used to present and analyze data and were presented using tables, frequency counts, and percentage. Ranking was also used to analyze the problems encountered by the concerned authorities in subdivisions and waste reduction strategies in subdivisions. Generally, local ordinances in General Trias, Cavite on Solid Waste Management were categorized into three types; 1) prohibits dumping in public places like playgrounds, roads, irrigation canal, waterways and beaches, 2) envisioned to promote recycling and reuse waste to minimize the cost of collection and disposed of garbage, and 3) an ordinance for waste segregation. Programs on proper waste disposal should be disseminated clearly by the concerned authorities in subdivisions to its residents to properly implement proper waste disposal. The most common practices on waste disposal being done in the subdivisions include the following: information and education campaign through pamphlets and posters, and orientation of the residents of subdivisions regarding waste management. This was done by the concerned authorities in subdivisions to encourage residents' cooperation and participation to follow proper waste disposal and segregation of wastes. The solid wastes generated in subdivisions in General Trias, Cavite were biodegradable and non-biodegradable solid waste. In terms of waste reduction strategies, they promoted segregation of waste, reuse, maintain and repair durable products like bags, containers and other items. Recycling, in cooperation with junkshop owners, were also promoted in each subdivision. Other subdivisions composted their waste and practiced incineration. Each of the residents of the subdivision has a trash can in front of their houses where they disposal their solid waste and collected by the dump truck once a week. A total of 1 to 2 tons solid wastes were collected every week in each subdivision. The dumping site or the final disposal of solid waste in subdivision in General Trias, Cavite is located at Barangay Tapia General Trias, Cavite. Among the problems mentioned, attitude of the residents to follow proper waste disposal and lack of awareness of the residents not to follow proper segregation of wastes were encountered in the subdivisions.
