Abstract: AGUILAR, JAN JAN J. Characterization of Wastes Generated from the Public Market of Indang, Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2015. Adviser: Dr. Camilo A. Polinga. The study was conducted at the municipal dumpsite of Indang Cavite to characterize the waste generated from the Indang Public Market from October 4, 2014 to December 4, 2014. The study specifically aimed to: 1) determine the classification and composition of waste generated from the public market; 2) quantify the amount of waste generated from the public market in terms of volume, weight and density; and 3) estimate a required landfill capacity to treat the residual wastes being generated. The solid wastes were sorted into five categories, namely: biodegradable, non-biodegradable, inert waste, electronic waste and special waste. Results revealed that in terms of weight, biodegradable wastes accounted for 62.43% of the total waste generated followed by non-biodegradable wastes (29.01%), inert wastes (8.24%), special waste (0.1397%) and electronic wastes (0.0003%). During the 18-market day period, a total of 32 179.73 kg of solid wastes were generated with an average of 1 787.76 kg or about 1.79 tons of solid wastes per market day. In terms of volume, results revealed that non-biodegradable wastes accounted the highest with 52.04%, followed by biodegradables (38.76%), inert waste (8.76%), special waste (0.36%) and electronic wastes (0.07 %). The total volume generated was 138.50 m3 with an average of 7.70 m3 of solid waste/day. In terms of density, fish entrails registered the highest at 3 104.54 kg/m3, followed by kitchen/food waste (566.50 kg/m3), glass (392.55 kg/m3) and electronic waste (11.32 kg/m3). T-test: paired two sample for means shows that there was a significantly higher amount and volume of wastes on Saturday than Wednesday market operation. The estimated landfill requires an area of 0.1131 hectares (10 years life span). This will have a compacted volume of waste of 8 700.432 m3 after 10 years. On the other hand, with segregation and recycling interventions, the amount of waste to be treated in the landfill will be reduced to 187 653.60 kg of waste/year. This will require a landfill space of 253.69 m2/year (1 m depth of spread) and equivalent 42.28 m3/year soil cover.
