Negligence in waste management posts serious effects not only in our environment but also in our health. Waste generation in the Philippines is increasing every year thus improvements in recycling, and waste management will become more important as garbage production continues to increase due to population growth and economic and technological developments.
Past efforts like campaigns, seminars and trainings to promote waste segregation and proper waste management have made minimal impact to pursue the objective of solving the garbage problem in the country. This is so because waste management is still perceived by many as the responsibility of the government. Also public participation in waste management remains limited that is why there is a need to promote extensive awareness on how to solve waste problem in the country with a more strict enforcement of the law and local ordinances that must be followed.
Being aware of the importance of the environment’s immediate recovery and effects of improper waste management, there is a need for understanding and improvement of mind-sets and concern towards the protection of our environment. The impending garbage crisis can be prevented if we practice proper waste management.
