This document summarizes key aspects of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (R.A. 9003). It establishes a National Solid Waste Management Commission and National Ecology Center to oversee solid waste management. It also creates Solid Waste Management Boards to prepare management plans and close open dumpsites. The law promotes reduce, reuse, recycle practices and assigns roles to local governments, private entities, and non-governmental organizations in waste disposal. It imposes fees on waste generators and fines for non-compliance.
