NU 12 by Cristina Krastle Valderas - Garbage Separator


Hi Sir,

NU Idea
Garbage Separator for Easy Recycling Process

Waste problem is one of the major and alarming problems in the Philippines. Our growing population comes with the increase in garbage disposal problem. Inspite of the solid waste management act passed by the government, there are only small improvements because it is not strictly implemented in all city or towns. After 10 years or so, our existing dump site can no longer accommodate the garbage we dispose everyday that we have to look for additional site. It will not be impossible if the time will come that an entire city can become a dump site.
                A possible solution can be is to have a garbage separator. It will become more useful in the dump site because the wastes are not segregated. The garbage separator will be as big as a dump truck in which it has several tubes attached on the sides. Each tube will be assigned for plastic, paper, wood, metal, textiles, non recyclable waste, etc. After you put the garbage inside the truck, by identifying its chemical composition, it will go to its assigned tube. Once wastes are segregated, people can already start the necessary procedure or process to recycle the materials like paper or glass bottles. It will make things easier and immediate action can be done for waste that can still be useful. At the same time, we can help the Mother Earth. 3.5

Thank you.
