Household’s Perception of Garbage Collection Practices in the Municipality of Tampilisan
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the garbage collection practices perceived by the household in the Municipality of Tampilisan, Zamboanga del Norte. The researcher applied the descriptive research method using the survey questionnaire. A 5- point Likert Scale questionnaire was used, and the respondents filled out the said questionnaire. Two hundred ninety-three household members participated in this research and were randomly selected from four barangays. Frequency count, percentage, and weighted mean were the statistical tools utilized by the researcher. Results revealed that most of the respondents are comprised of elementary and high school graduates and married. They are housewives and are directly involved in the solid waste disposal of their households. The Materials Recovery Facilities (MRF) in the Municipality are available for segregation, processing, and or buying areas for recyclables, but it is centralized and located in one barangay, Farmington. Further, 84.9% or 249 respondents are making compost of garden waste. However, the Materials Recovery Facilities of the Municipality are centralized for all 20 barangays. There were no MRF at their barangay level. Hence, it is recommended that there shall be a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) for every barangay, not just a central MRF for the Municipality.
