Summary, etc The primary objective of this study is to assess the economic conditions of scavenger families working at the Montalban Sanitary Landfill in Barangay San Isidro, Rodnguez, Rizal. This research aims to understand the living circumstances of these individuals, specifically investigating whether they have sufficient financial resources to meet their daily needs. The participants in this study are family members engaged in scavenging activities.<br/><br/>The research was conducted over a timeframe of one month, which included observational assessments followed by face-to-face interviews to gain an accurate understanding of each family's economic situation A structured questionnaire was prepared and administered to participants, enabling the researchers to collect relevant information regarding their demographic profiles and economic status. The questionnaire was designed with concise questions to accommodate the participants' time constraints, recognizing that they were under pressure to begin their work at the landfill during morning hours.<br/><br/>This study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. Qualitative methods were utilized to evaluate the participants economic statuses, focusing on their living conditions and feelings about their work and life circumstances. The findings highlight the financial priorities of the respondents, revealing that their children's education is regarded as a vital asset despite their challenging employment as scavengers The aspiration to send their children to school and ensure their successful graduation is of paramount importance, it represents the only inheritance they can provide for future generations. Consequently, many parents are willing to risk their safety by working alongside theu children in collecting and selling scrap materials to secure financial support for their education<br/><br/>The nature of scavenging work carries significant health risks for families. particularly due to the hazardous conditions present at landfills. Participants typically work in shifts, sometimes only half a day, and their income is directly correlated with the amount of waste available There are occasions when work opportunities diminish, particularly during times of limited refuse or unanticipated landfill closures. Most respondents own their homes near the landfill, although their ownership is often supported only by undocumented rights. Accessing these areas can pose challenges, especially without convenient transportation options, and the terrain becomes more hazardous during the rainy season due to mud accumulation. As part of their work, scavengers take precautions to mitigate health risks by wearing suitable attire and ensuring they rest adequately to avoid illness<br/><br/>The research indicates that the majority of respondents are heads of their households, primarily ranging in age from their mid-forties to older adults. Most lack savings for unexpected financial or medical needs, as their earnings are primarily allocated to immediate family necessities. Recommendations from the study include increasing the availability of solar panels for residents lacking access to electricity, establishing a reliable water supply through Manila Water or Maynilad to provide clean water for daily use, and raising awareness about local government programs and benefits available to scavenger families. By implementing these recommendations, there is potential to significantly enhance the quality of life and well-being of scavenger families in Barangay San Isidro
