    RA 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 provides the policy framework for local governments to implement an integrated solid waste management plan with a 25% waste reduction target through reducing, reusing and recycling. It was signed into law by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in 2001 and makes local governments primarily responsible for effective waste management including segregation and disposal. While the law mandates its implementation, many local governments have failed to properly implement it due to budget limitations, lack of expertise and political delays. Proper waste disposal is important for environmental protection of current and future generations.

    ACT NO 9003
    AFFECT OUR
    ENVIRONMENT?

    9003, widely known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act


    of 2000, provides the required policy framework, institutional
    mechanisms, and mandate to the Local Government Units (LGUs)
    to achieve a 25% waste reduction target through establishing an
    integrated solid waste management plan based on the 3Rs (reduce,
    reuse, recycle).
    HOW IS RA NO. 9003 As a national policy, RA 9003 adopts a systematic,

    IMPLEMENTED? management (SWM) program that recognizes the


    LGUs as the leader in its implementation.

    WHO SIGNED RA
    9003 INTO LAW?

    REPUBLIC Act 9003, or the Ecological Solid


    Waste Management Law, is now 20 years old.
    Approved on January 26, 2001, it was the first
    law signed by President Gloria Macapagal-
    Arroyo after taking over the Presidency from
    Joseph Estrada during the so-called Edsa-2
    People Power Revolution.
    WHO WILL BE THE
    MAIN RESPONSIBLE
    FOR MANAGING SOLID
    WASTE UNDER RA 9003
    WHY?

    Under RA 9003, LGUs are primarily responsible for


    effective and efficient solid waste management,
    particularly garbage segregation and disposal. Every LGU
    is required to develop a 10-year Solid Waste Management
    Plan (SWMP), including the establishment of materials
    recovery facilities (MRF) and sanitary landfills
    WHAT DO YOU THINK IS
    THE REASON WHY THE
    IMPLEMENTATION OF
    RA 9003 IS FAILED?

    Although RA 9003 mandates a waste diversion


    rate of at least 25 % to be realized by
    municipalities in 2006, most of them fail to
    implement the waste legislation properly mainly
    due to budget limitations, lack of know-how, and
    conflicting interests that delay priority setting,
    and political decision-making.
    WHAT IS THE
    CONCLUSION OF
    WASTE
    MANAGEMENT?

    The behavior of generating garbage is too dangerous not only for


    today's generation but also for future generations. Educating people
    and encouraging them to practice recycling, reusing, and Reducing
    instead of producing waste is critical. Waste disposal should be a
    priority for municipalities and governments.
    WHAT IS THE Waste management is an important element of
    PURPOSE OF environmental protection. Its purpose is to provide
    hygienic, efficient, and economic solid waste

    WASTE storage, collection, transportation, and treatment


    or disposal of waste without polluting the
    atmosphere, soil, or water system.
