Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Schools, like any other organization, need to consider a cost-effective and environmentally-sound waste management. These types of waste also have the potential to cause diseases. Solid waste management is a major responsibility of local government. It is a complex task which requires appropriate organizational capacity and cooperation between numerous stakeholders both in the private and public sectors. Even though it is essential to public health and environmental protection, solid waste management in most schools in the city in particular Manuel S. Rojas is highly unsatisfactory. This study aims to formulate a process in the school Manuel S. Rojas to have a proper and strict implementation of the garbage disposal system such as waste segregation.

METHODS

The simple experimental research is designed to test thepupils' knowledge on waste segregation and proper waste disposal. To testify the effectiveness of this research, the researchers used qualitative data gathered in every grade level. During the data collection, we asked the permission of the school principal in order to conduct the research. The CI Team interviewed the respondents using the questionnaires to be answered by each pupil and non-teaching representative and asked voluntary participation from these respondents with written consent. Data generated from the survey interviews was used to generate graphs and charts by analysis and interpretation.

RESULTS

The observed data showed that Manuel S. Rojas Elementary School has no concrete system in proper waste disposal. Strict implementation of proper waste disposal is not manifested. The best way to discover where we can reduce waste is to actually sort through our trash. The school should implement proper waste management system. The school should monitor the strict compliance of the implementation of the proper waste management system. The school personnel should have proper communication with the administrative aide in terms of collecting and transporting the waste collected from every grade level.

DISCUSSIONS

Manuel S. Rojas Elementary School has to formulate concrete system in waste disposal. Provide trash bins in school grounds. Coordinate with the GSO for the daily collection of garbage. Integration of proper waste disposal in the lesson once in every week can help the teacher in reminding the pupils about their responsibility in waste segregation.
