Abstract

The objective of the study is to know how Marians manage their waste, in case of not having trash bins inside their classroom. The purpose of having this study is to hear the side of Marians, and for them to give their opinions and suggestions based on their experiences and observations. The preferred kind of classroom of Marians is also included in the study. According to the data gathered, most of the Grade 12 students disagreed that the absence of trash bins inside the classroom helps in maintaining its cleanliness. At the same time, the majority of them disagreed that students are able to dispose of trash properly without the presence of trash bins. Most of the students also disagreed with the idea of removing trash bins inside the classroom. The majority of the Senior High School Grade 12 students neither agree nor disagree regarding proper utilisation of trash bins throughout the last school year. At the same time, most of them neither agree nor disagree that Senior High School students know how to segregate trash using the classroom trash bins. The majority of the students answered that they put their trash inside their bags as an alternative. Senior High School Grade 12 students mostly preferred for a classroom to have trash bins because they can manage their waste properly and do not need to find an alternative to trash bins. The researchers recommend that the school should put back trash bins back in the classroom, to maintain its cleanliness and to help the students to dispose of their waste easily and in the proper way. The researchers also recommend that if trash bins were to be placed back within the respective classrooms, students should use them properly.
