I.INTRODUCTION
Despite strong environmental activism among Filipinos, our country still suffers

from waste problem like collection, storage, and disposal of wastes. Waste can be

classified into five types of waste which is all commonly found around the house. These

includes Liquid Waste, Solid Rubbish, Organic Waste, Recyclable Rubbish, and

Hazardous Waste. Government units are struggling to implement the “Ecological Solid

Waste Management Act of 2000” or RA 9003 which was signed into law in 2001.

Waste Disposal is the deposition or collection, processing, and recycling of the

waste materials of human society. The word “waste” covers both solid waste like

refuses, garbage, and sewage waters.

Improper waste disposal is one of the biggest environmental issues here in the

Philippines. It caused bigger problems that affect not only the environment but also the

health and life of the people. Mismanagement of the waste disposal has a serious effect

on water contamination, flooding, air pollution, water pollution and others. The handling

of waste must be regulated from the moment of generation until its disposal as its offsite

final destination facility. The manner by which these activities are conducted shall be in

accord with the best principles of public health, economics, engineering, conservation,

aesthetics, other environmental considerations and public attitudes. People have always

produced waste, but as industry and technology have evolved and the human

population has grown, Waste Management has become increasingly complex.

Human activities contribute significantly in waste management. Recognizing the

effects of improper management, garbage crisis can be prevented by practicing waste

characterization and segregation by separating container properly marked as

“compostable, non-recyclable, and recyclable” or “special waste”, proper collection and

transfer, recycling, and composting as mandated by the law.

II.STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This research paper seeks to answer the following questions:

 How do you manage waste in your daily life?

 Do you practice proper waste disposal?

 For you, what is the proper way of disposing waste?

 How do you practice proper waste disposal at home?

 As a member of community, how can you encourage others to practice proper

waste disposal/waste management?

III. SCOPE AND LIMITATION
The study focuses on knowing how does the Filipinos manage and properly

dispose their wastes. The study will determine if the Filipinos knows any waste

management techniques. This also aims to encourage others to practice proper way of

disposing and managing their wastes.

The study is delimited in determining the overall totality of Filipinos, who

has knowledge in waste management and those who has not. The study is also

limited in terms of gathering opinions and conclusion

IV. RESEARCH METHDOLOGY

The Respondents

The researchers chose random respondents in their neighborhood Cabuyao, and

Santa rosa as our Research Locale. The researchers aim to classify their waste

management procedure.

Research Instrument

The Interview and questionnaire will be the major instrument used in this

study so that we are secure despondence to certain questions. The questionnaire that

was used in this study was designed to obtain information about the familiarity of waste

management

Open-minded questions will be use to give the respondents the opportunity to

give their responses and suggestions.

Data Gathering Procedure

The handling of the questionnaire will be done personally by the researchers and

facilitated by the retrieval of responses. This procedure also enabled the researcher to

conduct interview at the same time consecutively. The researchers collected the

answered questionnaire.
Statistical Treatment

To interpret the date effectively, the researcher will employ the following

statistical treatment.

1. Percentage

This will employ to determine the frequency counts and percentage distribution of

personal related variables of the respondents.

𝐹
Formula: % = 𝑁 × 100

% is the percentage

F is the Frequency

N is the total number of respondents

100 is a constant value

V. RESEARCH DATA
Collection of Data

The table 1 shows the total number of Respondents ang its Percentage.

Table 2

Familiarity in terms of using waste management

Using Waste Management No. of Responds Percentage

Yes 14 28%
No 36 72%
50 100%
Table 2 shows the result of people who use waste management and those who are not.

Interpretation and Analysis

The data shows, that Filipinos are still familiar in using waste management skill in
their daily lives. In totality a lot of Filipinos are not familiar in utilizing waste managing.
Therefore, it is not quite known for others.
VI. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
We the people of the Philippines should be responsible in throwing our own trash

in their proper waste. People should make an effort to keep waste to a minimum. The

best way to do so is by reducing the scale of operation, which minimizes the quantity of

waste generated. When waste is generated, it must be disposed of properly. Sink

disposal may not always be appropriate and may end contaminating drinking water.

Alternative methods of disposal should be considered including incineration, treatment,

and land disposal.

We researchers recommend to use these kinds of techniques in handling wastes,

because It will benefit our mother earth and also us who are the habitants of this planet.
