● Aerobic Composting – decomposing of organic
materials using microorganisms that require
oxygen. It requires the introduction of oxygen to the
compost pile to allow aerobic microbes to thrive.
Aerobic composting needs to be turned very few
days to allow for proper air circulation. This https://aerobiccomposting.peatix.com/

composting process is best used outside and can be used with a large
amount of materials.
● Agricultural Waste - is unwanted or unsalable materials produced wholly
from agricultural operations directly related to the growing of crops or raising
of animals for the primary purpose of making a profit or for a livelihood.
● Anaerobic Composting – decomposes waste
without oxygen. Organic materials are piled up
and breakdown naturally. This process does not
need any type of maintenance and do not need to
be turned.
● Compost – is used to improve the soil fertility in
gardens, landscaping, horticulture, agriculture
and organic farming.
● Composting - the natural process of recycling
organic matter, such as leaves and food scraps,
into a valuable fertilizer that can enrich soil and https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/s

● Waste - is any substance which is discarded after primary use or in other

words, there is no further use for the product. We generate a huge amount
of wastes in our everyday life.
● Waste Management - refers to the various ways of managing and disposing
of wastes. It can be by discarding, destroying, processing, recycling, reusing,
or controlling wastes.
● Waste Processing – is a way of applying operations using facilities on how
to change solid wastes into chemical, physical, or biological properties to
make it easier to dispose of, recover a resource, or transfer solid waste
materials.

functions?

2. Worked Example
Discuss and explain to the class clearly the waste management system’s six
basic functions.
1. Production - is the function of the amount and nature of agricultural
waste generated by an agricultural enterprise. The waste requires
management if the quantity produced is sufficient enough to become a
resource concern. A complete analysis of production includes the kind,
consistency, volume, location, and timing of the waste produced.
2. Collection - refers to the initial capture and gathering of the waste from
the point of origin or deposition to a collection point. The method of
collection, location of the collection points, scheduling of the collection,
labor requirements, necessary equipment or structural facilities,
management and installation costs of the components, and the impact
that collection has on the consistency of the waste should be identified.
3. Transfer - refers to the movement and transportation of the waste
throughout the system. It includes the transfer of the waste from the
collection point to the storage facility, to the treatment facility, and to the
utilization site.
4. Storage - is the temporary containment of the waste. The storage facility
of a waste management system is the tool that gives the manager control
over the scheduling and timing of the system functions.
5. Treatment - is another function designed to reduce the pollution
potential or modify the physical characteristics of the waste, such as
moisture and total solid (TS) content, to facilitate more efficient and
effective handling. Manure treatment is comprised of physical, biological,
and chemical unit processes. It also includes activities that are sometimes
considered pretreatment, such as the separation of solids.

3. Lesson Activity
Students are going to watch videos on how to properly managed agricultural
wastes. IGESjapan. (2018, July). Developing a Waste Management Strategy:
Transforming Waste from Problem to Resource [Video]. YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItPO_Wq6dm8 (23 min.)

Questions to ponder:
1. Any reaction from the videos we just watched a while ago?
2. As a grade 7 students, how do you think you can help reduce waste in your
home, in school and in your community?
(To apply what the students learned during the lesson, a supplemental
activity will be given. See worksheet #1 for the activity which students
will accomplish.)

DAY 2 - 3
SUB-TOPIC 2: Types of Wastes
1. Explicitation
What are the different types of wastes?

2. Worked Sample
Agricultural wastes are various wastes produced in the agricultural field.
Example: cattle waste, weed, husk, etc.
3. Lesson Activity
Different Types of Waste
1. Liquid Waste - is commonly found in households as well as in industries.
This waste includes dirty water, organic liquids, wash water, waste
detergents and even rainwater.
2. Solid Rubbish - Solid rubbish can include various items found in your
household, along with commercial and industrial locations. Solid rubbish
5
 is commonly broken down into the following types:
a. Plastic waste – consists of plastic bags, containers, jars, bottles and other
products that can be found at home. Plastic is not biodegradable, other
types of plastic can be recycled. Take note that plastic should not be
mixed in with your regular waste; it should be sorted and placed in your
recycling bin.
b. Paper/card waste – includes packaging materials, old newspapers, used
cardboard and other products. Paper can easily be recycled and reused,
so place them in your recycling bin and think of the best way how you
can use those as your materials in creating something saleable out of it.
c. Tins and metals – can be found in various forms throughout your home.
Most metals can be recycled. It can be recycled and used in making some
display materials at home like creating flower vase, small lampshade etc.
d. Ceramics and glass – These items can easily be recycled. Look for
special glass and bottles and can create them into something useful like
sugar, coffee, and cream containers.
3. Organic Waste - Organic waste is another common household. All food
waste, garden waste, manure and rotten meat are classified as organic
waste. Over time, organic waste is turned into manure by microorganisms.
4. Recyclable Rubbish - Recyclable rubbish includes all waste items that can
be converted into products that can be used again. Solid items such as
paper, metals, furniture and organic waste can all be recycled.
5. Hazardous waste includes all types of flammables, toxic, corrosive and
reactive rubbish. It also includes radioactive waste and chemical wastes.
Example: paints, batteries, light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, pesticides,
weed killers, gas bottles, chemical fertilizers, etc.
6. Industrial waste- Industrial waste is any type of waste that is produced by
an industrial process. This can include manufacturing, construction and
mining processes. This is a broad category that can include anything from
asbestos and clinical waste to oil and chemicals.
