The study began by gathering data through observation and later on distributing the questionnaires.

RESULTS

Result showed that every individual needs to take responsibility of managing the wastes properly. Separating waste is the first step in managing the school rubbish. Avoid sending waste to landfill, is another option. The staff and students' knowledge on wastes management and disposal such as recycling, reusing, reducing and composting needs to be strengthened.

DISCUSSIONS

The results demonstrate that proper collection is the solution to the waste problem. Students should consider how much waste is generated and in what ways they can manage it.

Related to this, some problems on proper waste management need focus and further implementation by the concerned school program committee.
