The barangay is responsible for the collection of the segregated biodegradable and recyclable wastes while the city or municipality is responsible for the collection of non-recyclable and special wastes (Section 10).
The Act also mandates a segregation of solid waste at source (Section 21) and the creation of MRF in every barangay or cluster of barangays (Section 32).
Although the LGUs are the primary responsible in the implementation of the Act, the participation of the private sector and the community is also encouraged (Section 5q).
The Act allows anyone to file a civil, criminal or administrative action against any individual, institution or agency, or against government officials who violate or fail to comply with the law (Section 52).
