Republic Act 9003, also known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 in the Philippines, establishes a comprehensive framework for solid waste management. It mandates the segregation of waste at the source, the establishment of materials recovery facilities, and the promotion of public awareness and education on waste management. The law also prohibits the disposal of hazardous waste in open dumps and promotes the use of environmentally sound practices in waste management. Additionally, it outlines the responsibilities of local government units in implementing solid waste management programs.
