I- Introduction

Our proposed project aims to improve the cleanliness in LNCHS. Solid Waste Management is a
common environmental issue that needs a solution. in order to reduce the amount of waste into
the landfill, it is best to implement the solid waste management that give priority to the waste
reduction through 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). NO TO TRASH project provides trash bins
and these will be labeled as Biodegradable, Non- Biodegradable, and Recyclable Materials.
Aside from that, compost pit will also be built so that the trash especially those Biodegradable
materials will be thrown here. One of the goals of proper waste segregation in school is to help
reduce the increasing level of improper waste disposal of trash or garbage in the society. “Trust
Trash cans” aims to provide trash cans with the labels of “Biodegradable” and “Non-
Biodegradable” to conspicuous places with a minimum of 100-meter distance from a set of trash
cans to the next set of trash cans.

II- Purpose/Need
Our purpose is to facilitates the process of reuse, recycling, and recovery of waste. Segregating
waste can improve the recycling process. For example, separating wet waste from dry waste is
a simple way to help recycling companies. It will help to recycle non-biodegradable waste and
treat biodegradable waste directly. Effective segregation of wastes means that less waste goes
to landfill which makes it cheaper and better for people and the environment. It is also important
to segregate for public health.

III- Project Description

 Our plan is to implement orientation program in school what well educate them to know how
to avoid pollution in the school. This initiative aims to create a culture of environmental
consciousness and waste on Lianga National Comprehensive High School, contributing to a
cleaner, greener and fresh environment.

improved?
2. What are the main challenges and barriers to implementing proper waste segregation in
LNCHS?
3. How can waste segregation contribute to the reduction of waste going to landfills?
4. What strategies can be implemented to effectively educate and engage students in waste
segregation practices?
5. What are the potential environmental, social, and economic benefits of implementing proper
waste segregation in LNCHS?
6. How can waste segregation contribute to public health and hygiene in the school and
community?
7. What are the best methods to measure the success and impact of waste segregation
practices in LNCHS?

V- Method and Timeline

Methods:
1. Conduct research on best practices for waste segregation and management in educational
institutions.

awareness about proper waste segregation among students.
4. Organize orientation sessions in every classroom to educate students about waste
segregation and its benefits.
5. Install trash bins labeled for biodegradable, non-biodegradable, and recyclable materials in
strategic locations throughout LNCHS.
6. Construct compost pits on the school premises for the disposal of biodegradable waste.
7. Collaborate with local authorities and waste management organizations to ensure proper
collection and disposal of recyclable materials.
8. Implement a monitoring system to assess the effectiveness of waste segregation practices in
LNCHS.

VI- Expected Outcomes/ Benefits (and often Evaluation)

Expected Outcomes:
Improved cleanliness in LNCHS: Proper waste segregation and management practices will
result in a cleaner school environment, reducing litter and promoting a more organized and
hygienic campus. Reduction of waste going to landfills: By implementing proper waste
segregation, the amount of waste sent to landfills will be significantly reduced. This promotes
sustainability and helps protect the environment. Increased awareness and education: Through
orientation sessions and educational materials, students will be educated about the importance
of waste segregation and its benefits. This will foster a culture of environmental consciousness
and responsible waste disposal habits. Contribution to reducing improper waste disposal in the
community: By promoting proper waste segregation practices in LNCHS, the project will
contribute to reducing improper waste disposal in the broader community. Students will become
advocates for proper waste management and educate others about its importance. Promotion of
public health: Effective waste segregation practices contribute to public health by reducing the
risk of diseases and contamination associated with improper waste disposal. The project aims
to create a healthier and safer school environment.
Evaluation: The project's effectiveness and impact will be evaluated through various
methods, including:
1. Monitoring waste segregation practices: Regular monitoring of waste segregation
practices in LNCHS will be conducted to assess the level of compliance and identify areas for
improvement.
2. Surveys and feedback: Students and staff will be asked to provide feedback on the project's
effectiveness and their satisfaction with the implemented waste management practices. Surveys
and interviews will help gather valuable insights.
3. Waste audit: Periodic waste audits will be conducted to assess the amount and composition
of waste being generated in LNCHS. This data will help evaluate the success of waste reduction
efforts.
4.Collaboration with local authorities and waste management organizations: Regular
communication and collaboration with local authorities and waste management organizations
will provide insights into the overall impact of the project on waste management in the
community.
5. Comparison of pre- and post-implementation data: Data on waste generation, landfill
usage, and recycling rates will be collected before and after the implementation of the project to
determine its effectiveness in reducing waste and promoting recycling.

VII- Budget/Needs & Requested Support

In order to successfully implement the waste segregation project in LNCHS, the following
budget and support are needed:

1. Trash bins: The project requires the purchase and installation of trash bins labeled for
biodegradable, non-biodegradable, and recyclable materials. The estimated cost for these trash
bins is $500.

2. Compost pits: Construction of compost pits for the disposal of biodegradable waste is
necessary. The estimated cost for constructing the compost pits is $300.

3. Educational materials: Designing and distributing educational materials, such as brochures

and posters, to raise awareness about waste segregation among students will be essential. The
estimated cost for these materials is $200.

4. Orientation sessions: Conducting orientation sessions in every classroom to educate

students about waste segregation and its benefits will require resources for materials and
facilitators. The estimated cost for these sessions is $200.

5. Collaboration with local authorities and waste management organizations:

Collaborating with local authorities and waste management organizations for proper collection
and disposal of recyclable materials may require additional resources and support.
Total estimated budget: $1,200
