What is It
Farm waste is refuse from agricultural crop production. Typically, farmers
will use more than one method to dispose of their wastes and utilize the collection
by reusing, recycling and decomposing with the help of the tools and materials.
In collecting waste, farmers should follow the required Occupational Health
and Safety Standards. It is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting the
safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work.
Tools in Collecting Farm Waste
Wheelbarrow is used
for hauling trash,
fertilizers, planting
materials and others.
Spade is used for
removing trash or
soil, digging canals
and mixing soil.
Shovel is used
in removing
trash, digging
loose soil,
moving soil
from one place
to another and
for mixing soil.
Spading fork
is used for
loosening the
soil, digging
out and for
turning over
the materials
in a compost
heap.
Rake is
used for
cleaning the
ground and
levelling the
topsoil.
Materials Used in Collecting Farm Waste
 Containers - where the processed liquid wastes are stored.
 Disinfectants - used to disinfect the region to avoid contamination.
 Detergents - used for hygienic purposes.
 Sacks - where solid wastes are placed.
 First-aid kit - used for urgent care of cuts and bruises.
 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) - used to protect oneself from harm.

Farm Waste Management
Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, recycling or
disposal of farm wastes such as hays, weeds, twigs, plant materials, and the like.
Moreover, dangerous and hazardous wastes need to dispose and handle properly
like containers of pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers, empty sacks, used polyethylene
bags and plastic sachets.
In addition, waste management includes preparation and implementation of
a Management Plan -the program that will reduce the risk of pollution and avoid the
loss of essential nutrients from the farm itself. This includes two elements:

What Is It
Let us consider that in our daily activities in the farm you are exposed to the
different wastes arising from different sources. These maybe solid or liquid wastes.
Solid waste is defined as any waste that is dry in form and discarded as unwanted
such as dried leaves, hays, bottles, papers. Liquid waste includes human waste,
runoff, industrial wastewaters such as chemicals, oils, liquid pesticides. With these,
wastes maybe segregated to three categories:
1. Reusable wastes-refer to material used once and can be used again such
as containers, sacks, wooden crates, and rubber gloves.
2. Recyclable wastes- are separated into materials that may be incorporated
into new products like plastic bottles and empty sachets.
3. Compostable wastes- are materials ready to withdraw that could no longer
be used such as dried leaves, corn cobs, hays and twigs.
CLASSIFICATION OF WASTES ACCORDING TO THEIR PROPERTIES
Bio-degradable
Bio-degradable wastes are those that can be broken down (decomposed) into
their constituent elements by bacteria and other microorganisms. The term can be
applied to both liquid and solid waste. Examples are animal wastes, food wastes,
leaves, fruits, twigs, papers, and other agricultural wastes.
Non-biodegradable
Non-biodegradable wastes are any discarded item that cannot be broken down
by living organisms. Non-biodegradable trash accumulates in the environment
because it cannot return to its origin. Examples are plastics, bottles, syringes,
containers and alike.
HAZARD SYMBOLS
In identifying and segregating wastes, farmers should be aware of the
dangerous waste labels before being processed. Here are some of these symbols.
Environmental Hazardsubstances that are toxic to
aquatic organisms, may cause
environmental effects.
Acutely Toxic- indicates
life-threatening effects.
Gas Under Pressurecontainer contains
pressurised gas.
Corrosive-may cause burns
to skin damage to eyes and
may also corrode metals.
Explosive-may explode as a
consequence of fire, heat,
shock or friction.
Flammable- ignition
sources should be avoided.
Oxidising-burns in the
absence of air, and can
intensify fires in combustible
materials.
Health Hazard-skin contact
and ingestion of this chemical
should be avoided.

Waste Not, Want Not by David & Jenny Heitler-Klevans
(Chorus:)
Use both sides of the paper, there'll be twice as many trees
Don't leave the water running, save our lakes and rivers, please
Take only what you'll eat, whether it's cake or lima beans
Let's help to save the planet, so that we can live in peace
Trees are very pretty, and climbing them is fun
They're home to birds and shade from the sun
They've given us juicy fruit all through the ages
and it's from them that we've made books filled with lots of pages

What is It
Agricultural crop workers used different materials for farm project and must
applied waste management plan that covers the responsible storage, collection and
disposal of all farm wastes.
Steps in Managing Waste
What to do in managing waste?
1. Types of waste. Classify the waste
according its type (Biodegradable or Nonbiodegradable.
2. Source of waste. Identify if the source
of waste if <safe or not=.
3. Potential health hazard waste. Give the
following details base from the legal
requirement. Here is the sample.
4. Volume of waste generated.
The size or quantity of waste must
be checked in the storage facilities
to avoid contamination and
congestion.
5. Safe collection method/s. Wearing the
appropriate PPE or personal protective equipment is the best way to manage waste.
6. Safe transportation method/s. There are three modes of transporting waste
depending on the availability and volume of waste to be transported in locality;
human-powered, animal-powered, and motorised-powered.
7. Safe disposal method/s. The last step is disposal method where safety is priority.
There are four methods to dispose waste; land application (burial and landfilling),
composting, burning and applying the 3R’s (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle).

The 3 R’s- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
To apply the 3Rs means consuming intelligently, thus
making important savings (in terms of money, time, pollution,
agricultural waste and energy). Specifically in the field of
agriculture, this is applicable to lessen the production of waste.
The aim of the waste hierarchy is to extract the maximum
practical benefits from products and to generate the minimum
amount of waste.
Reduce
Prevent or to limit the waste you use in the first place; by eliminating waste at
source through better planning and design making you proactive as environmentally
conscious. Reducing is the most effective of the three R’s. Effective waste
management begins with purchasing only what you need. This includes buying
products with less packaging or instead of buying plastic bags you can use cloth
shopping bag.
Reuse
The second most effective strategy for helping environment is to reuse. To
reuse materials is to use something again whenever possible; this is both costeffective and eases waste to landfill. It might be reused for the same purpose or use
in different ways. Like the glass jar for seed storage or plastic bags for bin liners.
Recycle
The last but trending way of being environmental stewardship is to recycle. It
means the material goes through an automated process to change its form or into
new product. It is also a good way that when we recycle, we give material a new life
and save it from disposing or burying in the ground. Example the wood in the farm
could be created as woodcraft.
How to Dispose Agricultural Crop Waste?
Agricultural wastes are defined as the residues from purchased product (tools,
chemical and medicine), the growing and handling of raw agricultural products such
as fruits, vegetables, and crops. But be reminded that only after considering the four
R’s should farm waste be disposed of.
The farm waste, like dried leaves and decaying plants, can cause
contamination to facilities, plant production and food supplies if treated
inadequately, and can serve as habitat for insects or pests.
Dispose of wastes only where permitted. You should not dispose of household
rubbish, unwanted chemicals, waste oils or lubricants on your property due to the
high risk of contamination of land, water or air.
The inappropriate disposal of farm wastes may be contravene to Philippine
environmental law under the Presidential Decree (PD) 1152 or also known as
13
0
0
Philippine Environmental Code that provides a basis for combined waste
management regulation starting from the origin of waste to dumping point.
1. Disposing Sharp Materials
Sharps are capable of causing cuts or punctures and include needles,
syringes, scalpel blades, broken tools and materials, pipettes, broken glass and
empty or expired pharmaceutical containers. To safely dispose of sharps:

Separate sharps from other waste. Injuries can occur when handling
sharps on the farm or at the landfill.



Use a labeled rigid container for disposal of sharps.
Ensure children or animals cannot remove the lid.
Do not burn disposal containers.
2. Disposing Medicine waste
In agriculture, some farmers use ornamental or plant medicines for better
propagation but may need to be disposed of for various reasons including expiry,
spoilage, or simply because they are no longer wanted. There are two classes of
expired medicines –unused (unopened) and used (opened).

Unused expired drugs can be returned to the point-of-purchase; many
manufacturers will take them back for disposal.


Used, expired drugs can be discarded in the same way as sharps.
When disposing of used or unused expired medicines, do not attempt to empty
or wash bottles – discard them with their contents.
You may consult a local pharmacist to learn more about disposal.

3. Disposing Farm Chemical and Chemical Containers
The use of farm chemicals (pesticide, insecticide, or herbicide) needs
precautionary steps, such that empty containers and unused chemicals need to be
disposed of properly. Some points to know in disposing chemical;


Carefully dispose of unwanted or expired pesticides.
Pesticides are hazardous wastes and cannot be disposed of in sanitary
landfills or by burning.
 Licensed commercial waste disposal companies may also be an option for
removing wastes from your farm.
Before disposing of empty containers please be guided by the following steps,
wash out the bottle three times and use the running water to dilute the chemical
solution. Then, dispose the empty bottle to proper trash bin. Unrinsed empty
chemical containers have the potential to contaminate ground and surface water,
and can be toxic to vegetative crops, animals and wildlife.
