S
olid Waste Management (SWM) for every city is a great
challenge to the government but also to the people
living there. It must carefully be planned from disposal
to dumping sites or to the transfer to treatment facilities.
The present status of the solid waste management of Lipa City
was assessed and it was found out that there are certain policies
being implemented in the city when it comes to proper solid
waste management. The material recovery facility of the city
is also under maintenance and planned to be moved to other
location. According to the data given by the CENRO, as years
pass, the generation of waste increases. The solid waste in Lipa
City generates a total weight of 3884.78 kg of biodegradable,
4068.6 kg of recyclable, 2271.11 kg of residual and 376.17 of

Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that
was distributed to 355 respondents who live within the
seven zones of the target location for the construction of a
compost pile facility and interviews from the officials of the
City of Lipa to know the possible environmental impacts
and social acceptability of the proposed project. The survey
showed a result that 90.98% agreed to construct the compost
processing facility while 9.01% of the respondents disagreed.
