Abstract:
In response to the need for adept solid waste management, this study aimed to determine the efficiency of dustbins, and the transport of final disposal of waste stream through time and motion study. The study concluded the dustbin efficiency of 68.26% in keeping the generated solid waste of the campus into the available dustbins. Regarding collection efficiency, the data revealed poor collection efficiency due to the very time-consuming door-to-door collection. Efficient transfer of solid waste from the storage area to disposal area at the Eco Park was accomplished. A slow net speed of 6.79 kilometres per hour was recorded to collect and transport the wastes from the first station to the disposal site. The volume reduction efficiency varies from 54.30% in the wastes from food services to 70.85% from outdoors and hallways, with a mean value of 62.52%. This result implied that the school has met more than the national thrust of the Philippines of 25% reduction of solid waste at final disposal.
