DEQUINA, LEO JR., P. & JAVIER, VONN ERNEST F. Assessment of Solid Waste Stream and Recovery in Regina Ville 2000, Trece Martires City. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. March 2009. Adviser: Dr. Lilibeth P. Novicio.
The study was conducted in Regina Ville 2000 subdivision, Brgy. Inocencio, Trece Martires City, Cavite to assess the solid waste generated in a low income subdivision. It specifically aimed to: (1) determine the socio-economic profile of the community and its relationship to the wastes generated by the community; (2) evaluate the level of awareness of the community about waste segregation and recovery of wastes from the source up to the disposal site; (3) determine the types and amount of wastes in terms of weight and waste recovered per household; (4) determine the types and amount of wastes and waste recovered in each stage of the solid waste stream; (5) determine the monetary value of the recovered wastes in each stage of the waste stream. From the list of 755 households at Phase 1 of Regina Ville 2000 subdivision, 70 respondents were selected through systematic sampling. They were all occupants and/or homeowners of the subdivision. The male respondents dominated the female respondents. Most of the respondents were married and were able to finish college. Businessman, soldier, driver, government employee and engineer were the leading careers of the respondents. The family income ranged from Php 2,500 up to Php 16,502 and above. Majority (98.6%) disposed their wastes through garbage collection and were not able to attend solid waste seminars which resulted to the low level of awareness on solid waste management.
Stages of the solid waste stream in Regina Ville 2000 include waste generation, storage, collection, processing and recovery and disposal. Recovery and selling of recyclable wastes were present in every stage of the waste stream. Results of the study showed that the average waste generated by a household in one day is 0.72317 kg/day. About 60.31 percent were biodegradable waste and 31.69 percent were non-biodegradable. Among the biodegradable wastes, kitchen wastes were the biggest wastes produced. Correlation analysis between socio-economic characteristics of respondents and amount of wastes produced showed no significant relationships between them. It showed that the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents did not significantly affect the amount of wastes that they produced. Analysis of the recovery of wastes in the different stages of the solid waste stream was assessed through actual interview and weighing of the recovered wastes. At storage, people in the community recovered an average of PhP1,254.33 of wastes in a one month period. At the collection stage, collectors earned an average of PhP1,358.3 in a one month period. Waste pickers at the dumpsite also recovered wastes coming from dumped wastes at an average of PhP425.15.
