The document summarizes improved solid waste management practices in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines. It describes how the municipality was previously dumping waste illegally and not complying with national solid waste laws. It then outlines the municipality's new strategic 10-year solid waste management plan, which includes constructing a new sanitary landfill, educating citizens on proper waste sorting, and increasing waste diversion rates. Through these initiatives, Bayombong has become a model for other local governments in properly managing solid waste.

RA 9003 mandates LGUs to be primarily responsible for implementation and enforcement of SWM within their respective jurisdictions. LGUs are likewise mandated to reduce the amount of wastes brought to the disposal facility. LGUs are likewise required to divert at least 25% of its wastes from the disposal facility by 2006, to be increased thereafter.
TA requested and started in July 2003 TAs provided: Formulation and Legitimization of 10-year SWM Plan SWM Ordinance Formulation and Enforcement Activities IEC / Governance Advocacy Disposal Management/SLF designing and IEE Checklist Networking / Institutional Linkages SWM Performance Monitoring and Evaluation System Note : 25% waste diversion target achieved in September 2006
Waste diversion by LGUs is achieved by putting in place a system that facilitates re-use, recycling, composting and other resource reduction/recovery activities. Proper waste segregation at source is one of the keys to achieving waste diversion as it also facilitates segregated collection and recovery/processing of wastes. After examining our waste generation data, we crafted strategies and implemented activities to accomplish our targets effectively and efficiently. Based on our waste assessment study , the bulk of our waste is composed of recyclable and biodegradable materials. This therefore calls for the strengthening of our recycling and composting efforts, to complement the waste segregation efforts carried out at the household level.
In Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya, 25 percent waste diversion was achieved by implementing the following SWM initiatives: Creation and strengthening of functional SWM Organizations (Mun. ESWM Board, Brgy. SWM Committees, SWM Office, etc.) Creation of IEC & Advocacy team (municipal and barangay level) and conducting aggressive IEC campaign in various point sources. Establishing linkages and partnership with various partners (PLGU, BLGU, NGOs, recycling industry, media, PNP, DILG, academic institutions, etc.) Establishing a functional system for waste reduction and diversion activities Sustained funding for SWM activities Enforcement schemes Performance monitoring Provision of Incentives & Awards

To encourage waste generators to segregate at source and to secure the consent of the host community re: establishment of the disposal facility (Bayombong Ecological Park), the LGU has implemented awareness raising activities. These were carried out both at the municipal and barangay level by trained IEC teams.

Academic institutions also generate susbtantial volume of waste. If their wastes are properly managed, they will likewise have substantial contribution in our waste diversion efforts. Along this line, the municipal LGU formalized agreements with 9 academic institutions within the municipality, for them to manage their waste at source, by establishing, among others functional SWM organizations and setting up facilities that will help facilitate implementation of SWM program within their respective institution. To support their initiatives, the LGU committed to collect segregated residual wastes. Academic institutions that forged agreement with the LGU are: SMU (elementary to college), NVSU, Bayombong Central School, Bayombong South Central School, PLT, Sierra College, Bonfal West Elem. School, Phil. Science High School & NVGCHS. To assist academic institutions and barangay LGUs in their SWM initiatives, DILG and Dep Ed were likewise tapped by the LGU in monitoring SWM activities.
The Provincial Capitol also generates substantial volume of waste, being a host to about 1,000 employees and close to 50 government agencies. But an agreement has been made with the municipal LGU that the Capitol will manage its own waste. Consequently, the provincial government spearheaded an enhanced SWM Program for all offices within the premises of the Provincial capitol compound. Now, the Provincial capitol serves as a showcase for waste management. The spill-over effect of the program has been felt in barangays where capitol employees reside; proper waste segregation are also practiced in their homes.
The municipal LGU has strengthened Barangay SWM Committees in its collection barangay for the devolution of SWM functions. The municipal LGU has likewise acquired through a loan 6 garbage trucks that were turned over to 6 barangay LGUs, payable in 8 years. The recipient barangays, namely, District IV, San Nicolas, Sta. Rosa, Don Domingo Maddela, Vista Alegre & Don Tomas Maddela in turn, will pay the municipal LGU, the proceeds of which will be used in acquiring additional garbage trucks for other barangays. The municipality has likewise entered into a No MOA No Disposal agreement with the barangays. The barangays concerned, in turn, carried out the No MOA No Collection scheme with partner institutions. To sustain SWM initiatives within their jurisdiction, these barangay LGUs collect garbage fees from their constituents; P35 for households, P120 for business establishments and P200 for institutions.
The MLGU also helped barangay LGUs establish their MRFs for factory returnables.
SWM enforcers were given training prior to deputation. After series of IEC campaign (radio/TV plugs, community assemblies/meetings, letters to households), focusing on the salient provisions of the municipal ordinance especially on prohibited acts and corresponding penalties, the municipal LGU started issuing citations tickets to SWM violators. Five barangay captains were cited/apprehended and were meted out fines. This has likewise triggered barangay captains to be more assertive in ensuring compliance within their barangays, as they in turn, apprehended SWM violators within their respective jurisdictions.
Political will of the LGU to mainstream SWM in the local governance agenda (e.g. enforcement of ordinance, allocation of SWM funds, creation of SWM office) By devolving SWM functions at the barangay level, barangay leaders appreciate their important role in the program. Aside from ensuring shared responsibility and accountability in the program, barangay leaders, being familiar with the dynamics in the barangay, are also in the best position to carry out the program within their jurisdiction, with the municipal LGU providing TA support. Sustained IEC and advocacy activities on RA 9003 and citizen’s counterpart responsibility in SWM Fostering mutually beneficial collaboration with various sectors and formalizing partnerships on SWM responsibilities Continuous monitoring and evaluation of SWM implementation involving different agencies/institutions (e.g. Dep Ed, DILG, PLGU) Publication/sharing of SWM best practices/innovations with local partner institutions
Sustain ongoing SWM initiatives and expand activities in other barangays Creation of separate SWM office/MENRO with staff, budget and office equipment/supplies Acquisition of garbage trucks for the remaining barangays using funds collected from the six barangays earlier provided with garbage trucks Continue development of Bayombong Ecology Park including acquisition and establishment of support facilities (e.g. MRF building, water system, electricity, etc.). Facilitate promotion of BEP as a tourist destination and create SWM-related livelihood opportunities for Bayombong residents
Knowing the people’s ‘diak pati diak kita’ (to see is to believe) attitude, the municipality has to demonstrate that waste segregation can be easily done. The night market infront of the municipal hall was then used as a showcase, as the municipality experiments SWM strategies that could be replicated in other areas.
Within two weeks since the enforcement of waste segregation, the eyesores were gone, so with other concerns previously associated with improperly managed wastes. With waste segregation at source in place, the night market has achieved close to 95% waste diversion.
After documenting the SWM intervention, the night market experience was shared with other partners.
