Box 13: Key Features of the Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act of 2000 (ESWMA)
RA 9003- The Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 was passed by Congress in December 2000 and signed into law by the President of the Philippines on January 26, 2001 with the aim of adopting a systematic, comprehensive, and ecological solid waste management program. ...
• Institutional Arrangements: The Act provides for the establishment of a National Solid Waste Management Commission (NSWMC) to oversee the implementation of solid waste management plans, and prescribe policies to achieve the objectives of the Act. ... Similarly, segregation and collection of biodegradable, compostable, and re-usable solid wastes should be conducted at the barangay level, and the collection of non-recyclable materials and handling of special wastes will be the responsibility of the municipality or city.
* Strategic Planning Framework: A National Solid Waste Management Status Report featuring an inventory of existing solid waste facilities, waste characterization, waste generation projections, and other pertinent information should be regularly updated and published.
