·      Total no. of sacks of collected and segregated garbage = 6,892 (only 46% from the target of 15,000 sacks)
 
Variance is due to the following factors:
1.       Identification of garbage as to what group based on the current guidelines for the 9 types of garbage to be segregated. 
2.       Another factor is due to natural phenomenon, heavy rains during working hours and high tide.  These factors must be considered in the planning process for this type of activity.
