RATIONALE
Pangapisan Integrated School (PIS) aims to reduce and eliminate adverse impacts
of waste materials on human health and the environment to support economic
development and superior quality of life. We can achieve this by continuing to integrate
sustainability into all areas of the curriculum and instilling a sense of ownership and pride
in improving the environment. We can lead the community by demonstrating exemplary
practices in proper solid waste management and continue to develop the school grounds
to promote biodiversity.
PIS, as an institution, responds to the worldwide call to save the Earth and protect
its resources from irreversible exhaustion and extinction through the school-based Solid
Waste Management Program (SWMP)
The Solid Waste Management Program (SWMP) strives for proper solid waste
management, disposal and maximum waste recovery through composting, recycling, and
reusing, and aims to promote zero waste to reduce the environmental degradation caused
by solid waste.
A properly run School-based Solid Waste Management program will contribute to
a cleaner local environment, maintaining pure surface and ground water, healthy soils,
and clean air. Noteworthy, a clean local environment will immediately benefit the most
vulnerable groups of society whose livelihoods often depend on the natural resources
available locally.
A SWMP committee was formed in pursuant to Section 2.2 of DepEd Order No.5,
s. 2014 Implementing Guidelines on the Integration of Gulayan sa Paaralan, Solid Waste
Management and Tree Planting under the National Greening Program (NGP), RA 9003
Providing for an ecological SWMP, creating the necessary institutional mechanisms and
incentives also known as the Philippine Ecological Waste Management Act of 2000 and
to support other laws such as RA 9512 (National Environmental Awareness and
Education Act of 2008)
an act to promote environmental awareness through
environmental education and for other purposes, and the RA 9729 (Climate Change Act
of 2009) an Act mainstreaming climate change into government policy formulations
establishing the framework strategy and program on climate change.
The committee is headed by School Principal as chairperson and is composed of
the SWMP Coordinator, DRRM Coordinators, SSG Advisers, Brigada Eskwela
Coordinators, Gulayan sa Paaralan Coordinators, Yes-O Club Adviser and all concerned
teachers.

vi.
IMPLEMENTATION
PIS commits to support programs, activities, projects related to the implementation
of solid waste management on school campus. The identified facilities and activities
are the following:
1. Curriculum Focus
There will be an environmental focus incorporated into the inquiry
units across all year levels and in the classroom where possible. Integration
of proper solid waste management into the curriculum. Teaching the
students how to properly segregate all types of waste, recycling, reuse, and
proper waste management and disposal.
2. Waste Bins
Provide color coded separate waste bins with clear labels for
biodegradable wastes, non-biodegradable/recyclable wastes, nonrecyclable/residual wastes and special/hazardous wastes. The segregated
waste bins should be placed at strategic places in classrooms, offices,
corridors, triage and covered court. Provide single waste bin with plastic
lining in comfort rooms. All waste bins should be regularly emptied and well
maintained. During collection, segregate waste should be placed in
separate containers.
3. Material Recovery Facility
 A Material Recovery Facility (MRF) or waste sorting area will be
designated, and situated in spacious, ventilated, secured, and not
unsightly area. Mixed wastes from a single waste bin should be
brought to a sorting area for proper sorting. All recycle and
biodegradable should be removed in the sorting area. The SWMP
Coordinator should see to it that all employees practices sorting of
waste on a daily basis . After sorting, all disposable wastes should
be placed in a garbage bag or suitable container and properly stored
in a disposable waste holding area to facilitate efficient collection.
Waste from the comfort room should not be included in the sorting
area.
 All disposable and hazardous (if any) wastes should be properly
stored in the waste holding area (portion of MRF). Wastes should not
be poured inside the waste holding area. Disposable wastes should
be placed in the Barangay MRF and will be collected by the City
garbage truck. Un-segregated wastes may not be collected by the
garbage truck. The holding area (portion of MRF) should be well
maintained, protected from rain, scavengers, and is always closed.
No wastes should be thrown outside the holding area. The holding
area should be disinfected at least once a month or as needed.
 MRF will also serve as storage for recyclables. Recyclable’s storage
area should be free from unpleasant odors and pests. Recyclables
should be weekly or monthly sold. The SWMP Coordinator should
keep a record of the sales of their recyclables. Part of the sale of the
PANGAPISAN INTEGRATED SCHOOL
PANGAPISAN, ALAMINOS CITY, PANGASINAN
500564@deped.gov.ph
recyclables should be used for the maintenance and operation of the
solid waste management program.
4. Compost Pit
 Food scraps including tissue papers should be placed in a secure
container and be brought to the compost pit for proper composting.
When composing biodegradables SWMP Coordinator should make
sure that proper composting procedures are observed.Waste bin for
biodegradable should be regularly rinsed and disinfected.
 Swept leaves should be placed in the compost pit for proper
composting. Burning of yard wastes is not allowed. Swept leaves
and branches from trimmings or typhoon debris should be placed
where they could be easily hauled away by the Utility personnel.
5. Segregation of Waste at Source
 All offices and classrooms will segregate the waste at source into
biodegradable waste and non-biodegradable waste The nonbiodegradable waste will thereafter be segregated into recyclables,
non-recyclables/residual, and special/hazardous waste. Each office
and classroom will be provided with at least 4 color-coded waste bins
for the different types of waste.
6. Waste Collection, Segragation, Storage and Disposal (Scrap Materials)
 Disposal of school scrap shall be properly done in an economical and
orderly manner to support the PIS initiatives for “Pera sa Basura”
 Each classroom/office shall properly segregate and identify paper
that is no longer reusable. Utility Personnel with the SWMP
Coordinator shall collect waste paper every week or as needed;
 SWMP Coordinator shall facilitate the selling of school scrap.
7. Waste Collection, Segregation, Storage, and Disposal (Solid Waste)
 Solid waste shall be properly segregated in every office and
classroom. Waste generated in the offices, corridors, triage, and
covered court and classrooms shall be collected, transported, and
segregated by the utility personnel into the MRF and monitored by the
SWMP Coordinator. Waste generated in the classroom shall be
collected, transported and segregated by the advisers into the MRF
and monitored by the SWMP Coordinator.
8. Recycling of Non-Biodegradable Waste
 The non-biodegradable waste will be segregated by category at the
site. The recyclable waste will then be sold to junkshop. The SWMP
Coordinator should keep a record of the sales of their recyclable
waste.
9. Awareness and Information Campaigns
 An important step to motivate and engage the public is via continuous
public awareness campaigns. For instance, activities will include
promoting the RRR slogan – reduce, reuse, and recycle – on the
school’s bulletin boards. In addition, eco-clubs at schools, youth
groups, and volunteers will be encouraged to participate actively in
the project. Some of the themes to be discussed during public
awareness and motivation campaigns are as follows:
o Consumption patterns and sustainable development;
o The natural source of products;
o Recycling and reuse;
o Littering and indiscriminate dumping of waste on open spaces,
footpaths, lanes, streets, and into drainage channels or water
bodies;
o Environmental degradation and its effects on human health.
