Waste management experts underscored the importance of efficient solid waste management system during a two-day training-workshop of six local government units in Ilocos Region aimed at providing communities science-based knowledge on proper waste management.
In accordance to Republic Act 9003, or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, the participants were trained on how to use a streamlined method of conducting WACS as an input in the development of their municipality’s 10-year solid waste management plans. The training capacitated the participants on WACS, its functions and relevance in formulating strategies, programs, projects and activities that could improve each LGU’s solid waste management programs.
The primary function of WACS, according to the experts, is to provide baseline data for LGU monitoring and performance evaluation of solid waste management plans and activities.
