According to Hon. Corazon Z. Del Mundo, head of MENRO, if the segregation policy will be practiced wholeheartedly by each person, waste in the community will be minimized. The diagram below shows the ecological solid waste management program implemented in the municipality.

Moreover, the segregation program was also implemented in the schools of Imus specifically in General Emilio Aguinaldo National High School as the pilot school. A Material Recovery Facility was also built in which the students learned to segregate their waste as papers, recyclable materials and residuals.

Finally, the approval of resolution No. 2008-779 authorizes Hon. Mayor Manny Maliksi to enter into a contract with Clean Technology (a non-governmental organization which has more or less a hundred people and has a philosophy of providing simple yet effective and creative waste solutions via the ideal management program of segregation, recycling non-biodegradable garbage and processing biodegradable into compost) for the establishment of a zero-waste facility.

Imus municipal solid waste management board have been created to resolve the overflow of garbage in the community. Systematic control and handling of waste have been discussed to ensure sanitary retrieval and safe disposal through waste reduction, composting, recycling, re-use and appropriate processing of residuals so as not to harm the environment. Thru the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO), a “No Segregation, No Collection Program” has been implemented in the municipality. The program calls for segregation at the source, segregated collection and segregated disposal. Each barangay created their own material recovery facilities (MRF) as an answer to the wide-range segregation program of the municipality
