IMPLEMENTATION OF HIWA-HIWALAY NA BASURA SA


BARANGAY PROGRAM
Legal basis for the implementation of the Program

1. Section 17 of the Local Government Code mandates LGUs to provide an efficient and
effective solid waste collection and disposal system under a comprehensive
environmental management program.
2. Section 10 of Republic Act 9003, otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act of 2000 stipulates that segregation and collection of solid waste shall
be conducted at the barangay level.
3. City Ordinance No. SP-1707, S-2006, requires the segregation at source of all
households, institutional, industrial and commercial wastes and/or garbage into wet or
biodegradable, and dry or non-biodegradable, pursuant to RA 9003.
4. The Supreme Court Ruling of a Continuing Mandamus to Clean and Rehabilitate
Manila Bay directs National and Local Government Agencies, including the City
Government of Quezon City, to facilitate and hasten the rehabilitation of the Manila Bay
Region thru various strategies, which includes, among others, the proper management of
solid wastes to keep it from being disposed in creeks and rivers that eventually flow in
the Manila Bay. 

Implementation of the Program

The Hiwa-hiwalay na Basura sa Barangay Program shall take effect on July 1, 2011 in the
entire City except in Barangay Holy Spirit, which has been implementing their own solid waste
management program even before the enactment of R.A. 9003. The City Government, thru the
EPWMD, shall conduct a two-week dry-run upon the effectivity date so that the residents may
be able to familiarize themselves with the types of wastes to be segregated and the schedule of
collection. An estimated 300 Information, Education and Communication (IEC) Campaigners
of the City-Contracted Haulers shall also be simultaneously deployed in all Barangays within
the City to explain in detail the implementation procedures. After the dry-run period, the City
Government, with the assistance of Barangay Officials, shall strictly implement the No
Segregation, No Collection Policy.
A three-part Barangay Summit was conducted by the EPWMD last June 16, 21 and 23, 2011 to
formally launch the Program and reorient all Punong Barangays and Kagawads in-charge of the
Barangays’ Solid Waste Management Committee on the salient provisions of R.A. 9003 and the
implementation of a community-wide solid waste management program. The new Terms of
Reference (TOR) on the City’s Solid Waste Cleaning, Collection and Disposal Project was also
discussed during the Summit. On the third day of the activity, other solid waste management
practices were also introduced to barangays that are advanced in terms of the management of
garbage to further improve the systems that are already being implemented at present.

The following shall be implemented in all Barangays:

1. segregation of biodegradable (nabubulok) and non-biodegradable (di-nabubulok) wastes


in each household;
2. door to door dedicated collection of segregated wastes.

Collection schedules will be as follows:

1. Monday-Wednesday-Friday Collection Schedule (click to see the schedule)


1. Monday and Friday for biodegradable (nabubulok) collection
2. Wednesday for non-biodegradable (di-nabubulok) collection
2. Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday Collection Schedule (click to see the schedule)
1. Tuesday and Saturday for biodegradable (nabubulok)
2. collectionThursday for non-biodegradable (di-nabubulok) collection

Trucks shall be marked with biodegradable or non-biodegradable tarpaulins to indicate the


type of waste to be collected upon arrival at the Barangays .

For Barangays that are already advance in the implementation of their own solid waste
management programs, the City shall deploy trucks marked with residual tarpaulins indicating
that only residual wastes will be collected during the specified date of collection.
