Introduction

• From time immemorial, waste disposal has been a challenge.

  In any household, there are unwanted materials and objects that we no longer need or we have thrown it away. We called it trash, garbage or junk, or simply waste. Waste is any substance which is discarded after primary use, would become unwanted so it is disposed. Proper waste disposal comes in.

*Barangay Aplaya has its designed Waste Disposal Management long time ago.

Adopting the 4Rs – Reduction, Reuse, Recycle and Recovery Waste Management, the Barangay every night is collecting garbage from the different households within the Barangay.

The importance of proper waste disposal at home is a very basic obligation of every household because trash, garbage or wastes

• if not properly managed becomes critical to the environment where the family lives. Aside from the usual trash and garbage found in the backyards there are certain types of wastes that can be hazardous and can contaminate the environment if not properly handled.

Wastes at Home

We are residing at Purok 4, Barangay Aplaya, Santa Rosa City.

• The place is near to the Laguna Bay area “ Aplaya” and therefore it has quite a huge number of settlers due to the proximity to the town proper.

** It’s my father inherited share from his parents property.**
*Barely three months of staying permanently in our dwelling place, our wastes inside the 800 sq. m.
Lot is still minimal because the property has been renovated and cleaned before we moved in sometime May of this year. But the adjacent lot owned by my uncle has lots of junks and trash since he leave there and his family for so long.
Hereunder are the trash or garbage found inside our property.
