“…As cited by Punongbayan et al, (2014), awareness, together with participation and involvement, is fundamental for all students to be active in the school's waste management program, resulting in successful and sustainable promotion of appropriate waste management practices. According to the study conducted by Matunog and Awa (2013), schools and universities placed second in the generation of biodegradable garbage and are the major manufacturer of recyclable materials, with the majority of wastes being connected to the instructional process. This study attempts to assess the extent of implementation and integration of solid waste management indicators of a public and a private school in General Santos City especially in terms of waste reuse, reduction, collection, recycling, treatment, and disposal considering the components of engineering support; education and advocacy; enforcement and policy support; institutional mechanism; equity; and incentives.…”

This study attempts to assess the extent of implementation and integration of solid waste management indicators in public and private schools in General Santos in terms of waste reuse, waste reduction, waste collection, waste recycling, waste treatment, final waste disposal, and IEC advocacy/campaign. A modified questionnaire was given to the respondents which were composed of Senior High School students, Science teachers, and school administrators of one (1) private and public school. The comparative result of implementation and integration between the public and private schools revealed that both schools implement and integrate the policy on solid waste management to a great extent with a composite mean of 3.55 and 3.42 respectively. T-test result on the extent of the implementation and integration of Solid Waste Management between the two selected big schools in General Santos City showed no significant difference with a t-value of 1.03941and the p-value of 0.319106 which is less than 0.05 (p<.05). This justifies that the two public and private schools in General Santos City implements and integrates Solid Waste Management to a great extent. It is imperative, therefore, for the schools to continue prioritizing the programs and advocacies on solid waste management. The school administrators must also maintain high standards of integrating SWM in the learning process through campaigns, incentives, partnerships, organizational resources, and equity.

“…However, solid waste management tend to be ignored (Masood, Barlow, & Wilson, 2009). Improper waste disposal, inefficient waste collection and lack of disposal facilities are some concerns on solid waste management in the Philippines (Matunog & Awa, 2013;Senate Economic Planning Office, 2017). Due to this, Philippines was considered as world's leading plastic polluters (WWF-Philippines, 2018).…”

Solid waste management is one of the challenges faced by many countries. Poor solid waste management will lead to various problems in health, environment and socio-economic aspects. Since, educational institution is an agent of change and through R.A. No. 9003, solid waste management concepts are being integrated in science education. In this study, descriptivequantitative approach was utilized using the researcher made instrument -Solid Waste Management Awareness and Practices Questionnaire (SWMAPQ). A total of 332 Grade 12 students participated in the study from a State College, of which 68 are Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) students, 166 are Technical Vocational Livelihood (TVL) students and 98 are General Academic Strand (GAS) students. Result shows that students have enough knowledge in terms on definition of solid waste, effect of improper solid waste disposal, solid waste prohibited activities, school initiatives towards solid waste, importance of solid waste management and students' responsibilities. However, students have low knowledge on the different laws relevant to solid waste management. Television or radio, parents and social media are the sources of these awareness. The result also shows that students have good solid waste management practices in terms on segregation, reduction, reuse, recycle and disposal.

Food chains are among the fastest growing businesses today. However, the large amount of wastes generated by these establishments threatened the environment and the health condition of the society they serve. This study determined the waste management practices adopted by selected fast food chains in Ozamiz City. Problems encountered in implementing waste management procedures were also identified. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire which passed the Cronbach's alpha reliability test. Results revealed that more than 50% of fast food chains complied the waste management practices with wastes segregation (98.3%) as the most practiced. However, inaccurate segregation still persists. Collection (ranked 1), and inaccurate segregation (ranked 2) of wastes were the problems identified by 41.7% and 35.0% of the respondents, respectively. Hence, problems with adherence towards efficient waste management activities still exist. The results imply that the city waste collectors and the staff responsible for waste segregation need a thorough knowledge of the significance of efficient waste disposal practices.
