wk. To further increase the volume of recovered waste, the composting and recycling waste from all sectors (Scenario C) was formulated. This could result to a conversion from 92 m3/ wk to 1002 m3/wk of compostable waste and recovery from 171 m3/wk to 617 m3/wk of recyclables waste by year 2015. The Decision Support System (DSS) can generate future trends of a barangay based data on the total volume of waste generated, recovered compostable and recyclable wastes, collected waste and uncollected waste including compost. These can guide in the selection of the best solid waste management option in the city by knowing the quantity of waste, the kind of waste, and the manner on how this waste are disposed or recovered over time. The DSS can help identify areas for sustainable supply of raw materials needed for composting and recycling projects and where to locate such project. Scenario C was able to address the problem of voluminous dumping of waste in the dumpsite by imposing waste recovery through recycling and composting all the waste generated in all sectors. This however requires change in the lifestyle of the city residents by becoming aware of recycling, reuse, and reducing the waste they produce and a support from the city government by providing facilities for waste recovery projects. IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Decision Support System is able to generate trends of waste management scenarios as basis for decision making. Identifying the sources of supply and determining the volume of raw materials for solid waste recovery projects can create awareness and encourage the city residents to undergo waste recovery in their own household or even in their barangay/clusters of barangay as a whole. The spatial distribution of recyclable materials from waste can further aid door-to-door buyers to spot barangay as potential sources of valuable materials. The practice of recovering waste through composting and recycling will eventually make the city free of littered waste and of carbon dioxide and toxic materials from burning waste. The availability of compost will direct farmers to the practice of organic farming/gardening. Money obtained from waste will help augment the meager income of the poor. It is recommended that the DSS be used by the city government to: a. determine the scale of solid waste recovery projects in order to be assured of a sustained supply of raw materials, b. decide what barangay or cluster of barangays to undergo solid waste recovery projects, and c. locate where to put up solid waste recovery projects It is further recommended that the DSS be piloted in any local government unit who decide to improve their waste management system.
