FARM WASTE MANAGEMENT

Farm waste management includes the responsible storage, collection and
disposal of all agricultural wastes and the preparation and implementation of a
management plan.

10
The Farm Waste Management Plan
The Farm Waste Management System shall take into account the collection,
storage and disposal of all agricultural wastes. Implementation of the program
would reduce the risk of contamination and avoid the loss of essential nutrients in
slurry and manure from the farmyard.

The strategy is composed of two elements:

Part 1 – Farm Waste Checklist Completed for Farm. The checklist aims to
define the remedial work and changes in management practice that
is required to ensure a high standard of farm waste management.

Part 2 – Completed Farm Waste Location Plan. This plan is a copy of farm
map showing areas of the farm that are suitable and unsuitable for
spreading agricultural wastes.

Plan of Location of the Farm Waste.

A localization plan for farm waste is a copy of your farm map color coded as follows:
BLUE – rivers including the border of the fields.
RED – environments in which agricultural waste will never be used.
ORANGE – areas from which the risk of contamination is high (may be part
or entire fields) and farm wastes can be added to certain areas.

Learning Objectives:
1. Identify wastes and categorize them according to industry standards and
environmental legislation,
2. Perform waste segregation based on organizational requirements and
relevant legislation,
3. Gather information about waste management from particular business
entity in the locality.

What’s In

In the previous lesson, safety measures in our workplace had been

discussed. Tools and materials are important in collecting farm wastes to
avoid accident particularly to those hazardous substance or

14
 contaminated waste residues. In collecting farm waste, there is a need to
follow the OSH for the safety of individual.

This lesson covers the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to

Directions: Read and understand the poem. After reading, try to reflect and give
your personal perception for what you have read then answer the
question.that follows

RECYCLING IS

Recycling is…

A hungry animal, eating trash,then spitting out brand

new items.It is putting an old change into somrthing new.

Recycling is…renewing a soda can, a bottle a stack of

newspapers. Breaking down toda’s prized possessions. It
is looking at pictures of endangered animals and knowing
you did the right thing. Recycling is the future of waste
disposal

What does the poem try to convey?
________________________________________________________________________

What Is It

WASTE CATEGORY TO INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS

1. Reusable waste refers to material used once and can be used

again.

2. Recyclable waste- means the production of new material or

commodity from the waste / garbage.

3. Solid waste- garbage generated from agricultural, residential

and commercial activities

16
PROPER SEGREGATION AND LABELING OF SORTED WASTES

Waste can be categorized into:

Biodegradable- waste that can be decomposed or

disassembled.
Examples: fruits, papers, leaves
Non-biodegradable –waste that cannot be disassembled
or decomposed. Examples: plastic
wrappers,
Sorting Waste Materials. This should be undertaken for environmental and
human health. As we sort waste materials we can quickly determine if it is for
recycle, reuse or toxic.

Dangerous waste should be labelled before being processed in the storage area.

17
What is HAZMAT?
Hazmat materials also referred to as hazardous goods will not exist unless
there is a demand for them (e.g., gasoline) They are a necessary by-product of a
production process ( e.g. toxic waste). As such, these products must be shipped
from one level to another to fulfil a demand (in the case of gasoline) or to be
environmentally friendly in the case of hazardous waste disposal.

What’s In

Good day! You have learned in the previous module the application of safety
measures in the animal production operation.
In this module covers the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to process
farm and includes functions such as collecting farm waste, identifying and
segregating waste, treating and processing farm waste, and performing
housekeeping duties.

21
 What’s New

Direction: Read the poem about Solid Waste Management by Ananya Manhas.

Solid waste management...

A cause that should be given full encouragement
If you see garbage on the roads,
And the air smells like pollution.
When it's all piling up,
Remember, there's always a solution.
Reduce, reuse, recycle...
These are three simple words.
But when put into action,
They are mightier than swords.
The little things we do,
Make this earth a better place.
If we go on polluting like now,
Soon there'll be yes flowers to put in the vase.

What Is It
How to handle waste?
Waste management is a process involving the treatment, storage, recycling,
collection and disposal of waste which requires proper disposal. It can be used to
minimize usage and wastage of production in a healthy and effective manner.
STEPS IN HANDLING WASTES
1. Evaluate the Waste. To manage waste properly, identify first if the waste is
dangerous or not, and it should be governed by law. That is also referred to as waste
classification or categorization.
2. Pack the Waste. Place the hazardous waste according to its characteristics. It
should be contained in a robust, leak-proof container which is kept closed when the
waste is not added or removed.

Requirements for Handling Waste

• Manage container access.

• Containers are safe from foreign elements.

• Stack liquid waste containers on a curbed, impermeable surface.

3. Mark the waste. To conform with the legal requirement, supply the following

22
 information:

• Warning: HAZARDOUS WASTE

• Name, address, telephone number, packing date, name and surname of the

person qualified to carry out the work

• Physical properties of waste: powder, firm, viscous liquids, pastes, sludge,

liquid liquids

4. Transportation and proper handling of the waste- the person who is responsible
for the transportation of hazardous waste should transport and dispose it properly.

The transporter will have to meet the following requirements:

•Has identification number

•Must secure approval to move hazardous waste from local authorities

 Educational requirements

• Carries ample liability insurance

• Emergency plan. Provide emergency plan to mitigate unusual incident

to happen.

Getting Emergency Response Ways:

• Maintain spill equipment and necessary emergency response services

in

an accessible environment.

• Train workers on emergency response protocols which are suitable for

the location.

5. Train staff. Educate staff/workers of their responsibilities on:

a. Basic waste management procedures.

b. Threats of malpractice to persons and environment.

c. Catastrophe precautionary measures, and

d. Accountability to government.

23
 6. Keep records. The purpose of record keeping is to provide proof that the wastes
are

handled in compliance with the procedures.

3 R’s
These 3 Rs are often called the "hierarchy of waste." These are actions to be done in
order to reduce the amount of waste produced. Enhancement of overall waste
management system and services is the order of priority. The hierarchy of waste
consists of 3 Rs.
* Reduce * Reuse * Recycle
The concept of reducing what is produced and what is consumed is very
essential. If there is less waste, then less recycling or reusing is required.
REDUCE.
Here are some points to remember to reduce the wastes:
1. Minimize paper wastage. Print on both sides of the page.
2. Instead of sending paper mail, use the electronic mail to reach people.
3. Remove your name from the mailing lists you do not wish to receive any
more.
4. Use fabric serviette instead of table napkins.
5. Do not use plastic tiles, spoons, bottles, cups, and serviettes.
6. Stop purchasing packaged products of foil, paper, and plastics.
7. Purchase products that are robust and have long warranties.
REUSE. In waste hierarchy, learning to reuse objects, or re-using them for a
different use than what they are intended for, is important. One of the best
examples is the modular design of homes and office buildings created from recycled
containers of shipping.
Here are few things you can do to recycle the wastes:
1. Old jars and pots to store kitchen products and to keep loose items like
computer wires.
2. Tires for tire-swinging, landscaping and decorating.
3. Used timber as firewood, or wood crafts.
4. Newspaper for wrapping or packaging of items.
5. Envelopes for short notes.
6. Waste paper to make notes and drawings.
RECYCLING. Recycling is the last step of the waste hierarchy. The waste are used
as raw materials to develop new object.
Some ways to recycle waste materials:
1. Be creative and innovative. Create new things out of spared materials in
your home like old clothes.
2. Recycle used papers in handicrafts making.

24
PROCESS FARM WASTE TO PRODUCE ORGANIC FERTILIZER
1. Bed Preparation
Prepare the bed by selecting the site that is shaded, free from predators and near
to the water source. Arrange the hollow blocks making a bed of 1m x 3m and put
bamboo stakes to strengthen the bed used sacks and nylon net could be used a
matting. Other materials maybe needed in the stocking of the bed are:
 Water and water sprinkler
 Plastic sheets to cover the bed
2. Size of the materials
The smaller the materials being composted, the faster the process. While
shredding is not absolutely necessary, it is a vital factor in speeding up the process.
After gathering the raw materials, mix well and shred. Wet the mixture so it feels
like a damp sponge.
3. Raw Materials and Sample Combinations
 Worm
 Worm bin
 Substrate
 Manure + Ipil-Ipil/ Kakawate Leaves (2:1)
 Rice straw + manure (1:1)
 Grasses + chicken manure (3:1)
 Sawdust + Ipil-Ipil (3:1)
 Compost/ rice straw + corn bran (1:1)
 Cardboard and paper pulp

4. Source and Quality

In sourcing raw materials, care should be taken that one is sure of the quality of
raw materials. If using animal manure, be sure that the animals were not
dewormed as this would also deworm your project. On the other hand, the plant
source should free from harmful insecticide, fungicide herbicide, which may also
decimate your worm population.
FARM WASTE DISPOSAL
A. Waste from the General Farm
General farm waste are garbage and waste materials produced by normal
production processes, including vegetable culls, broken eggs and wash water from
vegetables and barns.
a. Storage.
 Locate farm waste storage areas away from food processing, input
storage and livestock housing areas to prevent cross-contamination, and
prevent pest attraction.
 Ensure that farm waste storage areas and containers are sufficient for
the quantity of waste produced between the time of disposal.
 Clean agricultural waste storage areas often enough to avoid creating
conditions that could cause cross-contamination or attract pests.
 Using containers with lids, whenever possible, to store farm waste before
removal.

b. Disposal

25
  Regularly eliminate waste from agriculture to prevent cross-
contamination and reduce pest attraction.
 Dispose all products in compliance with municipal and provincial
standard.
 If other industries will use farm waste, store and ship it so as not to pose
a food safety threat. Vehicles used to transport agricultural waste should
not be used to transport food products and agricultural inputs unless
properly sanitized.
B. Medical Wastes. Examples of medical wastes are medical devices such as
needles and syringes, expired medicines and unused animal health products stored
for a long period of time.
a. Storage
 Store used needles, syringes, empty medicine containers and unused or
expired animal health items in secure, leak-proof containers and mark
NON-HAZARDOUS WASTE (medicine bottles) or BIOMEDICAL WASTE
(needles, scalpels, and other "clean" equipment).
b. Disposal
 Follow directions of retailers or manufacturers for the disposal of syringes,
medications and other products as well as overdue medical supplies.
 Do not dispose on your land or in burn barrels.
 Ensure the disposal of medicated feed and water in a manner that does not
contaminate the environment;
C. Fatality - Sources of deadstock involve all mortality from livestock on-farm.
. a. Storage
 Remove, compost or bury any dead animals regulated by provincial
regulations.
 Locate burial pit for deadstock and composting site away from animal
shelter, areas of fruit and vegetables production, high-farm or human
trafficking areas, and water sources. Protect all stored litter from other
livestock , poultry and predators and from public viewpoints.
b. Disposal
 Put up compost area at least 15 m from any watercourse, and 30 m from
any domestic water source.
 Dig grave, at least 30 m from every source of water and pits.

SAFE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES FOR AGRICHEMICALS

Always follow the manufacturer's directions for proper handling of
chemicals. Rinse empty containers and puncture holes in order to avoid further
reuse. Return empty containers to the retailer or check correct disposal methods.
and regularly inspect the stored chemicals. Dispose any unused or expired
chemicals in the correct manner.
