Assumptions and Consideration

In the North District of Cebu City the quantity of waste generation per barangays was monitored by the
Solid Waste Monitoring Division of Cebu City on a monthly basis as indicated in Table 1, respectively.
Blanks indicate that no data was submitted by the barangays to the DPS (Department of Public Services)
at the given period. Furthermore, Department of Public Services was created to effectively address the
City’s problems on solid waste management.

In Table 2, it shows each of the seven days represents a day of the week to complete a week-long cycle.
Alternating shifts for sorting activities were schedule within the sampling period. The intervening days
were intended to allow drying of washed materials for the moisture content analysis. During those
times, the sorting area is free of other wastes to ensure the integrity of the samples.
