Enhancing the Implementation of Ecological Solid Waste Management (R.A 9003) through Community and LGU Partnership: The Case of Canaman, Camarines Sur

Abstract This study examined the implementation, effectiveness, and stakeholder perceptions of the Ecological Solid Waste Management (R.A 9003) in the municipality of Canaman, Camarines Sur, with the aim of identifying challenges and opportunities for improving local waste management. Using a descriptive research design, data were collected through structured surveys from key stakeholders, including barangay officials, community households, and local government unit (LGU) implementers. The study assessed demographic characteristics, program implementation status, effectiveness of services, stakeholder challenges, and expressed needs. Findings revealed that while solid waste collection and segregation were fully implemented, other components such as planning, procurement of tools and equipment, training, and monitoring were only partially executed. Key challenges identified included inadequate technical knowledge, limited resources, insufficient funding, and weak commitment from both LGU and households. Stakeholders emphasized the need for capacity-building, provision of resources and equipment, stronger community–LGU partnerships, and systematic monitoring to enhance program effectiveness. Based on these results, the study recommends targeted training, investment in functional materials recovery facilities (MRFs) and collection infrastructure, advocacy to strengthen community participation, institutionalized monitoring and evaluation, and integration of SWM as a core municipal priority. These interventions aim to bridge the gap between policy and practice, fostering sustainable and community-driven solid waste management in Canaman.
