The Act provides for a comprehensive ecological solid waste management program
by creating the necessary institutional mechanisms and incentives, appropriating
funds, declaring certain acts prohibited, and providing penalties.

and Solid Waste Management Board (SWMB) in each local government unit (LGU)
is mandated by RA 9003 to be represented by public officials, in their ex-officio
capacity, and the private sector. The Commission shall serve as the coordinating
body and likewise develop and implement the National Solid Waste Management
Framework. The SWMB, on the other hand, is directed to formulate a 10-year local
