ABOUT US
The National Solid Waste Management Commission (NSWMC) is the major agency
tasked to implement Republic Act 9003, the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act
of 2000.
The law, signed in January 26, 2001, calls for the institutionalization of a national
program that will manage the control, transfer, transport, processing and disposal
of solid waste in the country.
Chaired by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Commission
will prescribe policies to effectively achieve the objectives of RA 9003. It will
oversee the implementation of appropriate solid waste management plans by end-users
and local governments as mandated by law.
The Commission is also ordered to establish the National Ecology Center which will
serve as the depot of information, research, database, training, and networking
services for the implementation of the provisions of the solid waste management
act.
It is composed of 17 Commission members, fourteen representatives from government
agencies and three representatives from the private sector.
