    Republic Act no.

    9003 or known as the Ecological Solid Waste


    Management of 2000 was enacted in response to the garbage problem
    of the country. It mandates the public officials from the national level
    down to the barangay level to observe and discharge their duty herein
    mandated in this Act so that it may reach the ends of its purpose why
    it was enacted, to solve the problems of garbage. This Act provides the
    systematic procedure from generation down to the disposal. This Act
    also provides the standards and controls of the generation, storage,
    collection, transport, segregation, and disposal of wastes, such that it
    may not pose health risks and hazard to the environment and the
    population.
    This act institutionalizes the NSWMC (National Solid Waste
    Management Commission) as the government body who would ensure
    that this Act is being implemented and standards were reached by the
    Local Government Units (LGUs). This Commission is a macro level
    watchdog of the solid waste management. This commission is duty
    bound to strive the system laid by this Act to continue research and
    improve to have its efficiency raised and sustainable.
    This Act also institutionalize the SWMB (Solid Waste Management
    Board) in every LGU. This Board shall manage and plan on how they
    can properly, efficiently, and sustainably dispose the solid wastes
    within their territories. This Board composes of different
    representatives in every sector so that the actions of the Board are for
    the development and the good of the environment and its people.
    This Act has provided the dos and donts of the citizens so that it may
    not endanger the environment, others, as well as their families and
    themselves. This Act prohibits the open burning of the wastes. Even
    this process answers the problem of storage and disposal of the
    garbage, but it causes air pollution which will put those people, who
    inhaled the smoke from the burning, at risks of respiratory diseases.
    Such thing also causes problems and contributes the destruction of the
    ozone layer. Such act is condemned and strongly prohibited by this Act
    that doing such thing has equivalent penalties which are found on this
    act as well (Penal Provisions).
    This Act puts our taxes on an investment which is worth spending for, it
    is always onto the care and common good of its constituents. It also
    guides the LGUs on how they can properly dispose the garbage. Many
    good things were made on this Act, standards that need to be reached
    by the government itself so that it may ensure the safety and welfare
    of the environment and its people.
