Key ideas: collecting and sorting farm waste
The module defines farm wastes as crop products that can be recycled, reused, and decomposed. Examples are hay, weeds, twigs, empty wood crates, cow manure, food waste, spoiled food, spent bedding, empty bags, and waste fish food.
Tools and materials
| Item | What it is used for |
|---|---|
| Wheelbarrow or yard cart | Moving heavy or bulky materials such as dirt, garden waste, manure, and plants |
| Spading fork | Clearing the garden, planting bulbs, adding soil amendments, and turning compost |
| Square-necked shovel | Scooping up materials, leveling high spots, and cutting straight through sod and soil |
| Pitchfork or manure fork | Picking up and moving loose materials |
| Pail | Bringing waste from the field |
| Sack | Holding solid waste |
| Container | Storing processed liquid waste |
| Disinfectant | Disinfecting the area to avoid contamination |
| Detergent | Hygiene |
| First aid kit | Urgent care of cuts and bruises |
| Personal protective equipment | Protecting yourself from harm, such as gloves and a face mask |
The farm waste management plan
Farm waste management means the responsible storage, collection, and disposal of all agricultural waste, plus preparing and carrying out a management plan. The plan has two parts:
- Part 1, the farm waste checklist. This lists the farm’s wastes and the changes needed for good waste management. The sample groups waste into manure (chicken dung, goat manure), silage (hay, cobs, rice straw), plastic (bottles, cellophane, plastic containers), and veterinary waste (syringes, empty bottles, feed waste).
- Part 2, the farm waste location plan. This is a copy of the farm map, color coded: blue for rivers and field borders, red for areas where agricultural waste is never used, orange for high-risk areas where waste can be added only to certain spots, green for all other areas, where waste can be spread when land and weather allow, and white, marked with an X, for areas not normally used for spreading organic waste.
Waste categories and segregation
- Reusable waste: material used once that can be used again.
- Recyclable waste: waste turned into a new material or product.
- Solid waste: garbage from agricultural, residential, and commercial activities.
- Biodegradable: waste that can decompose, such as fruits, paper, and leaves.
- Non-biodegradable: waste that cannot decompose, such as plastic wrappers and bottles.
Sorting waste protects the environment and human health, and it shows quickly whether an item is for recycling, for reuse, or toxic. Dangerous waste must be labelled before it goes to storage. The module shows hazard symbols for flammable, toxic, corrosive, explosive, oxidising, gas under pressure, harmful or irritant, health hazard, and dangerous to the environment. HAZMAT refers to hazardous materials, such as gasoline and toxic waste, that must be moved and handled safely.
Key ideas: housekeeping, signs, and 5S
Good housekeeping makes a workplace cleaner and safer, and warning signs alert workers to hazards. The module describes danger signs, caution signs (yellow background with black letters), exit signs (red letters on white), safety instruction signs (green), directional signs, traffic signs, accident prevention tags, biological hazard signs, notice signs (“NOTICE” in white on blue), general safety signs, flagmen, and barricades.
5S is a Japanese way of organizing a workspace to raise productivity and remove waste:
| Japanese term | English term | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Seiri | Sort | Go through everything and remove what is not needed |
| Seiton | Set in Order | Give every item a set place |
| Seiso | Sweep (Shine) | Keep the workspace clean, for example by mopping and dusting |
| Seiketsu | Standardize | Set standards so the first three S’s become routine |
| Shitsuke | Sustain | Train people and check regularly so the habits last |
How to use this module
- Start with the pre-assessment. Answer the 15-item multiple-choice test in “What I Know” to check what you already know.
- Go through each lesson in order. Each lesson has parts such as What’s In, What’s New, What Is It, What’s More, What I Have Learned, and What I Can Do. Lesson 1 also ends with a 10-item self-check.
- Do the activities. These include listing and drawing tools and wastes, sorting items into biodegradable and non-biodegradable bins, naming hazard symbols, collecting and segregating waste around the school, drawing examples of the 3Rs, and matching everyday tasks to the 5S.
- Take the final assessment, a 15-item multiple-choice test, and then do the additional activity: make a new product from recycled or reused farm materials.
- Complete the Job Entrepreneurship task (Weeks 7 to 8). Over 15 days, learners produce organic fertilizer (vermicompost) on their farms in eight steps, from weighing materials by carbon-nitrogen ratio to keeping the compost moist. A rubric grades the steps, the preparation of materials, and the timing.
Learners should write answers on a separate sheet, not on the module, and use the answer key honestly. Parents can help by giving safe access to a yard or farm area for the collection, sorting, and composting tasks. Teachers will find Notes to the Teacher in the module and an answer key at the end; check the key against the tests before using it.

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.
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.
SAMPLE FARM WASTE CHECKLIST
| Manure | Silage | Plastic | Veterinary waste |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken dung | hay | bottles | syringe |
| Goat manure | cobs | cellophane | Empty bottles |
| Rice straw | Plastic container | Feeds waste |
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.
GREEN – all remaining areas. These can be used for spreading at any time of the year when land and weather conditions are suitable.
WHITE – areas not normally used for spreading organic wastes and mark them with an X.

What’s New
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 something new.
Recycling is…renewing a soda can, a bottle a stack of newspapers. Breaking down today’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
Victoria Tang Edward J. Patten Perth Amboy
What does the poem try to convey?
What Is It
WASTE CATEGORY TO INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS
[illustration: reusable items such as containers, bags and utensils]
- Reusable waste refers to material used once and can be used again.
[illustration: bottle with brooms and an arrow showing recycling]
Recyclable waste- means the production of new material or commodity from the waste / garbage.
Solid waste- garbage generated from agricultural, residential and commercial activities
[illustration: paper, cans, bags and utensils]
[illustration: spray paint cans, paint cans, thinner and containers]
[illustration: containers of cleaning products and oil]
PROPER SEGREGATION AND LABELING OF SORTED WASTES
[illustration: mixed waste being sorted into four bins labeled BIODEGRADABLE WASTE, NON-BIODEGRADABLE WASTE, RESIDENTIAL WASTE, SPECIAL WASTE]
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, bottles
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.
[illustration: four bins labeled BIODEGRADABLE WASTE, NON-BIODEGRADABLE WASTE, RESIDENTIAL WASTE, SPECIAL WASTE]
Dangerous waste should be labelled before being processed in the storage area.
[chart: hazard symbols; labels as printed]
- Dangerous to the environment
- Toxic
- Gas under pressure
- Corrosive
- Explosive
- Flammable
- Harmful Irritant
- Oxidising
- Health Hazard
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.

Lesson 4 Perform Housekeeping
Learning Objectives:
- Display appropriate warning signs and labels in conspicuous place around the work place.
- Clean work area according to 5S principles.
What’s In
Healthy housekeeping provides a cleaner and safer workplace. It prevents disease and promotes healthy practices, habits and attitudes. Employers are responsible for assessing each workplace, identifying potential hazards and determining ways to mitigate the hazards.
A successful housekeeping program is an essential component of occupational safety and health management programs. In the workplace, warning signs play an important role in alerting workers to potential hazards.
What’s New
Directions: Give at least 5 warning signs and label. Put them in the leaves of tree
[illustration: outline drawing of a tree with blank leaves]
What Is It
WARNING SIGN AND LABELS
Signs, signals, labels and barricades are important, if not crucial, for the agricultural workers’ health.
General
Required signs and symbols shall be visible at all times while the work is ongoing, and shall be immediately removed or covered when the danger no longer exists or the work is done.
Danger Signs
Danger signs should be visible and dominant.
[illustration: sign reading “DANGER / CONSTRUCTION AREA / KEEP OUT”]
Caution Signs
Caution Signs. Signs of warning shall be visible to alert or advise workers and people in the workplace or area where the threat may occur. The background of the signs must be yellow and the column is black with yellow letters. Any letter that is used against a yellow background is black.
[illustration: sign reading “CAUTION / HEARING PROTECTION REQUIRED / IN THIS AREA”]
Exit Signs
Exit Signs. When needed, exit signs must be lettered in legible red letters, not less than 6 inches high, on a white field and the letters’ main stroke must be at least three fourths in width.
[illustration: sign reading “EMERGENCY EXIT” with running-person arrow]

[illustration: white diamond-shaped sign with black panel and white turn arrow]
Traffic Signs
Building areas should have legible post signs. Any signal should shield workers from accident and must comply with occupational health and safety standard.
[illustration: diamond sign reading “UTILITY WORK AHEAD” with traffic cones]
Accident Prevention Tags
Accident prevention tags are used as a temporary means of warning against an existing hazard, such as defective tools, equipment, etc. Accident prevention tag specifications similar to the ones shown below will apply.
[illustration: accident prevention tag reading “DANGER / High voltage. / KEEP OUT / Authorized personnel only.”]
Biological Hazard signs
Biological hazard warning must be used to signify the actual or probable existence of a biohazard.
[illustration: sign reading “DANGER / CONTAMINATED AREA” with biohazard symbol]
Notice Signs

| Seiketsu | Standardize | Establish a set of criteria for all processes and organizations. |
| Shitsuke | Sustain | Help new policies and perform audits to ensure accountability is maintained. |
5’S TASKS AND ACTUAL WORK SERIES
1. Sort: eliminate discarded objects from the from and the clutter (removal/organization)
Example:
