We people living in our daily life generates trash in the form of cans, bottles, cartons, bones, paper and etc. The Automobiles we are treasuring today will in 15 to 20 years be a gigantic mass of solid wastes.
According to reliable source, it is estimated that in Metro Manila, about 6000 tons of trash are generated daily by more than 8 million people living in its cities and towns. of this number, only 4500 tons are actually collected and disposed. The remaining 1500 tons, enough to cover the land area of a small town, are either thrown indiscriminately in the streets, rivers, public places, or collected by waste pickers/buyers.
