A BARANGAY ORDINANCE REQUIRING ALL SARI-SARI STORE, FOOD STAND AND

CARINDERIA OWNERS/OPERATORS AND VENDORS TO PUT TRASH CAN/TRASH BIN IN


FRONT OF THEIR ESTABLISHMENTS, ADOPT SOLID WASTE SEGREGATION &
IMPOSING NECESSARY PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS THEREOF

Ordinance Number__________

WHEREAS, Section 48 of Chapter VI of Republic Act 9003 otherwise known as Ecological


Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, states that “Littering, throwing, dumping of waste
matters in public places like roads, sidewalks, canals, esteros or parks & establishments or
causing or permitting the same is a prohibited act”;

WHEREAS, the same RA also provides the primary enforcement & responsibility of solid waste
management with LGU while establishing a cooperative effort among the national government,
other local government units, NGO’s, & the private sector which may include the row of
businesses in the locality who are also considered primary waste generators;

WHEREAS, the barangay being the lowest local governing body nearest to the people and as
provided for in the implementation of its roles and responsibilities vested in the local
government code of 1990, it is therefore the duty and obligation of the barangay to impose
significant programs to help the government in its combat against the uncontrolled generation of
solid wastes;

WHEREAS, guided by the policy of the nation to protect and advance the right of the people to
a balanced and healthful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature as stipulated
in section 16 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, the barangay has deemed it proper and very
necessary to require all sari-sari store, food stand and carinderia owners/operators and vendors
to put trash can/trash bin in front of their establishment & to properly manage solid wastes
generated during their operation by practicing waste segregation, hence the national goal of a
zero waste volume of the government may be achieved later in the long run;
