SWM SITUATIONERAsian Development Study (2003): MM generates about 6,700 tons of garbage per day. (As huge as 1 level of SM Manila or SM Megamall Building A)

Recent Report on MM solid waste (2007): MM generates 7,200 tons of waste.

An average Filipino generates an estimated volume of 0.3kg to 0.7kg per day in rural & urban areas respectively.WASTE GENERATION

SWM SITUATIONERSTORAGE

SWM SITUATIONERCOLLECTIONApproximately Php 3.54 billion is spent annually on collection & disposal of MMs solid waste;

In 2001, from 5 to 24% of the total expenditures of MMs LGUs went to SWM;

Based on survey conducted by the National Demographic & Health, 30% of households had access to waste collection at varying frequencies.

SWM SITUATIONERCOLLECTIONFrequency of waste collection varies ranging from twice a week to once every two weeks;

Collection efficiency in urban areas is estimated at 70%;

Collection efficiency in rural areas is estimated at 40%;

Waste not collected are mostly indiscriminately dumped, burnt, goes to our water system or to open dumps.

SWM SITUATIONERTRANSFER & TRANSPORTA transfer station is established if the hauling distance from the source to the disposal facility is far.

Smaller dump truck transfers the collected waste to a bigger dump truck.

The big dump trucks then transport the solid waste to the disposal facility.

SWM SITUATIONERPROCESSING & RECOVERYNo reliable data on the extent of recycling and composting in the country.

Recycling remains largely an informal-sector activity.

In 1997, only 6% of SW is recycled in MM. In 2000, recycling rate is at 13%.
