INTRODUCTION
Waste Disposal is the human control of the collection, treatment and disposal
of wastes. Proper waste disposal must be observed in order to reduce the
negative impacts waste has on environment and society.
Production of waste is directly linked to the human development,
both technologically and socially. The composition of different wastes has
varied over time and location. Industrial development and innovation today is
being directly linked to waste materials. Many different types of waste have
negative impacts on the environment such as pollution on land, air and water.
Generation and improper disposal of chemical wastes coming from the
hospitals, laboratories, factories and even geothermal plants makes the
environment vulnerable and society unstable.
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
The increasing and non-stop generation of solid
waste brought about by economic development and
rapid urbanization is one of the major problems of the
country particularly in Metro Manila area. The problem of
today’s solid waste, if improperly handled, carries
implications not only for our environment but also for the
health and well being of future generations. When waste
ends up where it is not supposed to be, it becomes
useless, causes pollution, and poses health risks. When it
is used and put in the right place, it becomes a valuable
resource.
The problem…
Waste segregation at the household level is not widely practiced, waste recycling is
minimal, and past efforts to promote waste segregation at source have failed
despite the issuance of penalties for non-compliance

LANDFILL
A landfill site (also known as tip, dump, rubbish
dump or dumping ground and historically as a midden)
is a site for the disposal of waste materials by burial and
is the oldest form of waste treatment. Historically,
landfills have been the most common methods of
organized disposal and remain so in many places around
the world. Some landfills are also used for waste
management purposes, such as the temporary storage,
consolidation and transfer, or processing of waste
material (sorting, treatment, or recycling).
A secure landfill is a carefully engineered
depression in the ground (or built on top of the
ground, resembling a football stadium) into
which wastes are put. The aim is to avoid any
hydraulic [water-related] connection between the
wastes and the surrounding environment,
particularly groundwater. Basically, a landfill is a
bathtub in the ground; a double-lined landfill is
one bathtub inside another. Bathtubs leak two
ways: out the bottom or over the top.
• Dumpsite refers to an area where garbage
materials are dumped in order to separate
Domestic Waste from other types of waste.
