INTRODUCTON
College students and employees often lead busy lives and value convenience;
as they go about their day rushing between activities and classes, the purchase of single-
use products is often the most convenient choice. The consequence of this convenience
comes in the form of high quantities of waste. CSU- Carig must be therefore more
conscious about this issue of wastes for it’s to improve its image as well as to ensure
cleanliness, orderliness of the Campus, and in order to attain this, waste management
should not only be implemented but also practiced and monitored.
In this manual, it presents the greatest contributor of wastes in the campus, how
wastes are being generated, the wastes that are generated, and the possible prevention
and control of the wastes in the campus.

SECREGATION & DISPOSAL
1. Source Reduction
The first and optimal strategy of the four, highlights the reduction of the
volume of solid waste
Generated before it even enters the waste stream through size reduction. This may
mean professors assign work that does not need to be written and students submit
assignments and requirements digitally rather than in print.
2. Reuse
The next most important strategy emphasizes the reuse of materials for other
purposes. That way it does not go in the rubbish and end up in the landfill. However,
reuse do not involve reprocessing or transforming the material. For example,
students may collect paper scraps and the turn them into notepads or use them for
solving problems.
3. Recycle
The most common strategy in the hierarchy is recycling. It involves the
reprocessing of used materials that would otherwise become waste. It breaks
material down to its main component and produces new products. This step is
necessary to reduce the volume of waste already generated.
4. Disposal
At the lowest level of the waste management hierarchy is final disposal. All
remaining waste or residues from previous waste management processes must be
stored in a final disposal site. The disposal site must be designed and operated as a
sanitary landfill to protect people and the environment from the negative impact of
waste.
B. INSTITUTON PROFILE
1. Cagayan state University-Carig Campus

6. Applicable Environmental Regulations
Republic Act 9003: Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2001
The act policy declaration is to ensure the protection of public health and
environment and to utilize environmentally-sound methods that maximize the
utilization of valuable resources and encourage conservation and recovery. Also,
to ensure the proper segregation, collection, transport, storage, treatment and
disposal of solid waste through the formulation and adoption of the best
environmental practices in ecological waste management excluding incineration.
This law is applicable in the solid management of College of Engineering to ensure
good waste handling and correct separation of the waste generated in the Building
