Level of Awareness of Improper Waste Disposal
CHAPTER I
The Problem and Its Background
Introduction
Background of the Study Barangay 663 in Ermita Manila is surrounded by three (3) universities namely, Adamson University, Technological University of the Philippines and Philippine National University. In this case, this said barangay has obviously many carinderias, sari-sari stores and bakery. Most of the time, students hang-out in these places and it cannot be denied that the area or the streets have trashes. Ever since, flood is the main problem whenever there is a typhoon. The people in the community have nothing to blame on but the garbages that are not properly thrown in the trashcans, especially plastics. This research paper is conducted to help the people in Barangay 663 lessen their carelessness in throwing their trash anywhere they want. Also, the group will be providing solutions to the problem of the community.
Theoretical Framework
Theoretical Framework of this thesis is focused on the community, the action of the government in order to manage the waste, reduce the effect of the waste and their choice of action to solve the problem (Scientific Framework - Chapter 1. Theory).
Waste is defined as “a portable object that has been abandoned by the owner” and also as an “orderly disposal garbage” (Bilitewski et al 1994, p. 21). Waste is classified in categories such as municipal solid waste (MSW), agricultural and animal refuse, industrial residues, extraction and mining waste, construction and demolition debris and sewage sludge among others. The distinction that is made from MSW to other types of waste is in its origin (Scientific Framework - Chapter 1. Theory).
MSW emerges from households, commerce and trade, small businesses, office buildings and institutions (schools, hospitals, government buildings). This includes bulky waste, which includes voluminous unwanted items such as old furniture, found in households; green waste such as garden waste (i.e. leaves, grass, tree branches); street sweeping
