A. City Profile
Population
: 866,171 (NSO 2010)
Daytime population : estimated at more than
a million
Total Land Area
: 315.0 km2
50 Urban Barangays
30 Rural Barangays
Considered as the second-largest center of business in
the country. barely 15% of the city’s total land area sits on
flat terrain
uplands are also highly vulnerable to landslides from
rainfall
climate patterns indicate high inter-annual variability, with
extreme weather events
Cebu City will likely find itself caught in a “climate
sandwich” as saltwater intrusion advances further, sea
levels rise and more intense typhoons lash the coastline
with storm surge.

Rapid urbanization coupled with the need to manage
climate change impacts require a systematic and
comprehensive ecological solid waste management system
to ensure the protection of public health and the
environment.

Waste Analysis and Characterization Study (2010)
Current Situation: How bad is Cebu City’s Solid Waste Problem?
An average of 325,000 kilograms (or 325 tons) of
wastes are generated in Cebu City a day.
The landfill has reached full capacity and operating
it further violates the law.
OTHER MAJOR SWM CHALLENGES
Absence of 10 YEAR SWM
PLAN
A SIGNIFICANT
VOLUME STILL ENDS
UP AT THE TRANSFER
STATION
Lack of a
LANDFILL
CLOSURE PLAN
Strengthening volume
reduction through source
reduction & waste
minimization measures such
as composting, recycling, reuse, etc.
Environmental Management Bureau-EMB7 Inspection Report, August 23, 2012
“…in the transfer station are mixed biodegradable & non-biodegradable
solid wastes indicating that at present, segregation of wastes are not
strictly practiced.”
C. Institutional Mechanisms, Programs & Approaches in Promoting Community Based-Solid Waste Management
City Ordinance 2234, Creation of CCENRO: to make the City of Cebu one
of the most environmentally attuned local government units in the country.
City Ordinance 2243, Sustainable Development Ordinance: to preserve
& protect the sources of life, “the trees, soil and water” and to focus on
sustainable development in the fullfillment of human needs while
maintaining the quality of the natural environment for the current generation
and for the generations yet to come. Mandating the submission of an
Environmental Sustainability Action Plan (ESAP) by any business
establishment applying for business or Mayor’s permit/license.
(City Ordinance 2031, Solid Waste Segregation at Source): to adopt a
systematic, comprehensive & ecological solid waste management
system….
Main Points of Cebu City Solid Waste Segregation Ordinance
C.O. 2031
1. Waste Classification - All solid wastes shall be classified into 5 major groups:
• Biodegradable / compostable wastes - waste materials that can be easily decomposed.
(These are mostly materials coming from the plants, trees, people or animals. Ex. food left
over, dirty paper, dirty newspaper, tissue paper, overripe fruits, vegetables, fruit peelings,
leaves, grasses)
• Non-biodegradable waste – wastes that cannot be easily decomposed. (These are mostly
materials made from chemicals or minerals. Ex. plastic bags, icewater plastic, plastic
wrappers, diaper, napkin, clothes, rags, styropor, junk food wrappers, candy wrappers,
cigarette butts
• Reusable / recyclable waste – wastes that can be used again or can be easily converted into
something useful. (These are materials that can be sold to recyclers. Ex. clean paper,
newspaper, cartons/boxes, plastic cups, bottle caps, plastic containers, metals, hard plastics,
juice packs.
• Hazardous or special waste – wastes that are harmful/toxic/infectious (ex. dry cell battery,
paint cans, empty insecticide containers, expired medicines, busted fluorescent bulb)
• Bulky wastes and white goods – wastes that are bulky in size, shape or other attributes. (ex.
old appliances, tree branches/trunks)

C.O. 2031
2. Hierarchy of Solid Waste Management – in managing solid wastes,
generators must consider the following options in this order of
priority:
• Source reduction – Try to reduce wastes by using products with less
packaging, use products with reusable materials,
• Re-use – Reduce wastes by reusing materials like plastic bags, paper,
glass, metals and other materials; Giving food leftover to hog raisers
• Recycle – Reduce wastes by selling / giving away recyclables
• Composting – Reduce wastes by converting food leftover, kitchen
wastes, overripe fruits, vegetables, fruit peelings into compost
• Disposal – This should be the last option. Wastes that cannot be reused,
recycled or composted must be disposed properly.

C.O. 2031
3. Management Scheme – the following must be strictly followed to
ensure efficient and effective solid waste management:
a. Segregation – wastes must be segregated according to the
classifications mentioned: biodegradable, non-biodegradable,
recyclables, hazardous and bulky
Remember: NO SEGREGATION, NO COLLECTION
b. Storage – Each type of wastes must be stored in separate garbage
receptacles. Examples of receptacles are plastic bags, cans, sacks,
cartons, pail, drums, etc.
Remember: DO NOT MIX
c. Disposal STRICTLY FOLLOWS THE SCHEDULE.

4. Prohibited Acts
• Disposal of unsegregated wastes
• Disposal of hazardous wastes & bulky wastes together
with other wastes
• Disposal of wastes outside their scheduled DAY of
collection
• Disposal of wastes beyond the scheduled TIME of
collection
• Mixing of segregated wastes.

technical support
• Promotion of Takakura
• Formation of Brgy Solid Waste Management Committees
• Public-Private Partnership
• Adoption of new environmentally compliant technologies
• Formulation of additional management schemes, such as the
management & disposal of household hazardous wastes.
• Integrating SWM laws & policies with other environmental
laws through the formulation of the Environment Code.
