Abstract
The issue of waste disposal management has become a serious problem to many people of our country
Philippines. This qualitative research was conceptualized to examine the behavior of the senior high
school students of St. Mary’s College of Meycauayan to waste disposal management. The researchers
have conducted an observation that was administered in every classroom of the SHS. Information was
gathered from the observation that was conducted by the researchers such as how the students cooperate
in their class, their discipline within the class,

The outcome of this qualitative research shall be utilized as basis for implementing enhancement
programs for the institution to be improved and to have better surroundings for their beloved students.

I. Introduction Some people do not understand the possible

Nowadays our world is suffering from
several problems like floods, landslides and other
natural disasters. Global warming is the most
popular cause of this phenomenon and these
problems were also involved on our problem in
waste management. Waste disposal involves the
collection, transportation, and recycling of waste
materials used by human in our present society.
Solid waste is most likely to be observed in this
study which are the popular garbage that we can see
everywhere. Waste product monitoring and
regulation is very significant in order for the
environment to be less foul oculars and
contaminated.
results of doing an improper waste management and
the effects of their action on the environment as
well as in our health. Waste usually relates to
materials produced by human activities. Poor waste
disposals can cause severe environmental problems
on a certain place or location. Example of improper
waste management are littering, throwing of
hazardous wastes to our surroundings, and not
recycling items that needs to be recycled in order to
reduce waste materials. Bad waste management can
initiate serious medical problems because these
things can cause extensive land and air pollution.

government in the following ways: management.

 For the students Review of Related Literature

It is very important for the students
to learn an apply proper waste management.
Recycling different materials is the most
basic lessons that students can learn inside
the school. An act of waste management and
sanitation can generally help the students in
terms of their responsibility regarding to
proper waste disposal in school. (University
of California, 2018)
 For the teachers
Improper waste management have a
direct effect on teachers and administration
staff like reinforcing their communicating
skills and also their environmental
responsibility. (Gonzales, 2013)
 For the community
It is significant for every community
to have a proper waste management plan,
because lack of this kind of system can
generally affect their health of all the
residents in a particular community.
(Lenkiewicz, 2017)
 For the government
Local management play an important
role in establishing a proper waste
management system in the framework of
their territory. They are the one who can
provide and manage several rules and
regulation in maintaining a proper waste
disposal. (Department of the Environment
and Energy, 2013)
Every individual should take part and be
responsible in this kind of situation. Managing
waste properly is not an easy task but every people
 Waste management is known as the
direct storage, collection, separation and
disposal of solid waste. It is a better term for
garbage management. It is the response to
the world's problem to stinky garbage’s.
Reinforcing waste problem been the core
institution of detrimental diseases and land
absorption, not to specify to bad upshot to
the environment. The system of trashing the
municipal waste collection and recycling
just fall on the same rubric. (Enriquez, 2011)
 Over the world, there is worsening problem
in terms of solutions and actions done for
waste disposal management. To pitch in to
the expenditure of solving this problem, this
paper will discuss the following: the
uprising concerns and consequences of
garbage’s and wastes, how it affects our
environment including human development,
the waste management system of developing
countries and how they've dealt with the
issues in terms of garbage’s. (Pedroza,
2013)
 In technical note, the term in specialized
note, the term 'solid waste' is used to include
all dry wastes breeded by human activity
and a range of dry waste materials
concluding from the disaster, like general
household garbage such as food waste, dusts
and other materials; emergency waste such
as plastic bottles and bundling from other
emergency supplies; debris resulting from
the disaster. Other specialist wastes, like
medical wastes from the hospitals and

poisonous wastes from factories. (World
Health Organization, 2011)
 The Municipal Council legislated an
ordinance establishing waste management
also known as "Perkash Fashura Ordinance
Na Isadanga." The ordinance interdict
discarding of wastes other than those
appreciated and established garbage
facilities; scrapping of dirty and
unsegregated waste at the redemption place;
blasting of human excrement along the
creeks or rivers. It also demand by tenants to
always carry out segregating of wastes at
origin. (Saley, 2012)
 From prehistory through this current day,
the favorite means of wastes outside the
cosmopolis or village limits. Continually,
these despondency are in wetlands, river or
lakes. To lesser the volume of garbage’s, the
despondent is often burned. These manners
are being used in secluded or sparsely
populated areas in the earth. (Enger &
Smith, 2006)
 Waste management is a non-segregated part
of the maintainable development. As
population, persisting to grow and economy
dilate, it's necessary to ensure the waste
generated is seemly manage on order to
conserve the current environment for the
next generations. Waste management's also
been widely assimilated especially in the
1980's when there's a fear of landfill flash
point. (Aeckerman, 1997)
 Waste management become the major
problem in the Philippines over the past
decades. This article also talks about the
latest and perhaps the most comprehensive
solid waste management policy in the
country, the Philippines Republic Act 9003
(RA 9003). It presents the issues on the
implementation of these policies, the status
of compliance by the local government, and
the recent initiatives and activities to
promote proper waste management and
recycling. (Research Gate Website,2003)
 Inappropriate solid waste management
practices in schools constitute one of the
major factors leading to declining
environmental health conditions. The
authors' descriptive objective was to assess
solid waste management problems in
schools. The lack of bins may have
contributed to waste spillages and the
burning practices. These scenarios pose an
environmental health difficulty and may
compromise school environmental quality.
(Journal of Environmental Health,2011)
 This informative book offers specific,
practical, and cost-effective solutions to the
problems of waste disposal, from a
description of a successful program to
conduct a one-time cleanout of secondary
schools, to the identification of chemicals
that have no identity. Approaches to waste
disposal taken around the country, including
in-house treatment, lab packing, and the
benefits of recycling through waste
exchange programs are covered. (Kaufman
1990)
 The institutional solid waste management
has three institutions. It is noted that there
are indeed advantages in managing solid
waste at institutional level because of the
institutions’ unique characteristics that also
influence their waste management needs.
The three institutions are: University of Dar
es Salaam (UDSM), University College of
Lands and Architectural Studies (UCLAS)
and Water Resources Institute (WRI).
Surveys and area investigations including
on-site waste measurements and

Discussion In some disciplines and journals, however,

THEME NO.1: Cooperation is needed for
sustainable waste and resource management; these
factor is needed in order to have a proper waste
disposal. Waste management is connected with
many other areas, including urban development,
water, energy and food security. So it is very
important to have a cooperation between students,
SHS Administration and waste management staff.
THEME NO.2: Discipline is very signifant
in the battle against waste problem in our society.
Managing the waste properly is not just for home
but also in our school or workplace. This can really
help the school if every student can have a
disciplinary self-action in their characters to lessen
our existing problems here in our country which is
one of the dirtiest place in the whole world.
conclusions are separated from discussions. If this is
the case for the paper you are working on, you may
find the following description of common
conclusion moves and sample language useful.
When writing the conclusion to your paper, follow
these general rules:
1. State your conclusions in clear, simple language.
Re-state your Research Questions and answer those
with fundamentals of what you have discovered
then state how your findings differ or support those
of other studies.
2. Do not simply reiterate your results or the
discussion of your results. Provide a synthesis of
arguments presented in the paper to show how these
converge to address the research problem and the
overall objectives of your study

3. Indicate opportunities for future research if you

THEME NO.3: Prioritization about waste
disposal is very important because it occupies the
range of evidence needed in order for the human
complexity to response immediately in this kind of
problem. This can also provide active decision
making, Intervention, actions and strategies.
haven't already done so in the discussion section of
your paper. Highlighting the need for further
research provides the reader with evidence that you
have an in-depth awareness of the research problem.
