    CHAPTER 2

    REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

    Introduction

    This chapter presents a Review of Related Literature and studies which helped

    the researchers to determine the relationship of waste management and other factors

    like Age, Gender, Monthly Income and Education. Thus, statistical data, survey analysis

    and many studies will be used regarding these factors as how it affects and makes

    significant difference to the study of waste management. Moreover, waste collection,

    waste segregation, waste recycling and waste disposal which encompass waste

    management will be thoroughly discussed since it plays very important roles in clearly

    defining waste management.

    Waste is generated by human activity therefore its management is particularly an

    important issue as it affects both environmental and human health as wastes cause

    land, air and water pollution. Solid waste means garbage, refuse and other discarded

    materials including but not limited to solid and liquid waste materials resulting from

    industrial, commercial, agricultural and residential activities (Mantell, 1975). It has been

    suggested, likewise, that practices of basic solid waste management (SWM) are often

    neglected at the individual level (Licy et al.,2013).

    Issues of the environment specifically about Waste Management have been

    timely and relevant in the Philippines. However, it is not just a problem of the nation

    but a problem of other countries as well. Thus, it has been discussed most of the time

    because it is affected by a countrys economic and political aspect. The persistent


    increase in human population and rapid industrialization has caused the continuing

    global problems on improper waste disposal. (Atienza, 2008)

    The major drawbacks concerning wastes management, especially in the

    developing countries are the ineffective waste collection strategies and the lack of

    disposal sites (Reyes et al,2013). The problem of solid waste management has become

    critical in the Philippines and as a response to this issue, the government enacted the

    Republic Act of 9003, also known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of

    2000, on the 26th of January 2001. This intends the country to adopt a systematic,

    comprehensive and ecological solid waste ,management program that protects both

    the environment and the human health. This aims to establish a holistic approach in

    solving the waste management problem in the Philippines.

    Solid wastes can be classified according to their sources and this research study

    focuses on the municipal or household wastes at the home level. According to research

    study conducted by Bennagen , et al. (2002) at two Barangays in Metro Manila, waste

    segregation at the household level is not widely practiced and waste recycling is

    minimal. Some of the reasons for the residents non compliance include their

    indifference to participate in waste management related activities, their attitude that the

    government has the sole responsibility over garbage management, and their lack of

    information and education campaigns.
