INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, global warming, flash floods, landslide and etc. are the environmental
dilemma that nature are suffering. The misbehavior of the people towards waste
management is one of the cause of this problem. Improper waste disposal, illegal
logging, coastal littering and etc. are the activities done by man affecting nature
The responsibility of managing their waste properly should every individual take.
For environmental protection public awareness campaigns are one of the essential tools.
Thus, we really need to encourage everyone to be part of this objective; through proper
waste management we can protect our sick world and also our environment.

This Chapter presents some foreign and local literatures and studies which the
researchers deem relevant with the present study. Such literatures and studies cited paved
the way in determining the extent of how far researchers have gone through along the
area under investigation. Also, this chapter presents the classification of wastes varies and
depends country by country. Waste can be divided into many different types. The
hazardous industrial, commercial land domestic refuse including household organic trash,
street sweepings, hospital and institutional garbage, and construction wastes; generally,
sludge and human waste are regarded as a liquid waste problem outside the scope of
MSW. Materials that contains less than 70% water are waste. The domestic or household
garbage, some industrial waste, some mining wastes and oil field waste such as drill
cutting are example of type of waste, waste waters that contain less than 1% is a liquid
waste. High concentration of dissolved salts and metals are another example of type of
waste. The sewage and toxic waste are classified as a liquid waste. generally, in urban
centers there are various types of liquid waste generated, human excreta, domestics
wastes and nuclear waste. when improperly handled disposed of liquid wastes posearious
threat to human health and environmental because of their ability to enter watersheds,
pollute ground water and drinking water. An example of a class of waste between liquid
cited that the present rubbish includes synthetic materials that keep piling up unlike
natural ones that degrade and eventually return to earth. Thus, disposal becomes a
problem. Aside from this, garbage is also a health hazard- being a melting pot of all sorts
of disease. As today’s throwaway society consumes more and more products, we also
generate more and more waste. Much of this waste gets burned in incinerators or buried

landfill.
According to Duran (2012) in his book entitled “Waste Management Disposal”
cited that waste is a visible face of inefficiency in terms of material utilization. Waste
handling is a major concern, especially since improper waste treatment causes increased
environmental deterioration. The last few decades have seen the emergence of new
measures to handle waste effectively, but most of them are not flawless. “Zero waste”, an
innovation of the 1990s in waste handling, emphasizes planning for the elimination of
management are the most important issues of our time. An important step towards
our waste management and diversion programs that we commit ourselves to continually
satisfy our client's needs. The main principals that are employed by Zero Waste
Management Group involve resource preservation and waste reduction. These are the
core fundamental components of the 'Zero Waste Philosophy'. This is done by means of
recycling all potential waste and reusing those materials in different ways, creating a
circular system of use and re-use. Implementing this philosophy, bring solutions to all
segments of society. This is demonstrated by our commitment to work with and provide
said that Zero Waste is a critical stepping-stone to other necessary steps in the efforts to
protect health, improve equity and reach sustainability. Zero Waste can be linked to
sustainable society. However, with good political leadership, everyone could be engaged
in the necessary shift towards a sustainable society. Good political leadership in this
matter involves treating citizens as key allies to protect human health and the
education so that citizens can help communities make the most informed choices.
According to Dante’s (2013) cited that the dumping and burning of garbage
generated in cities, towns and villages in wetlands and water bodies, have resulted in
serious air, soil and water pollution. Zero Waste Management is a new system of
managing solid waste, which strives for maximum waste recovery through recycling and
reuse, aiming at ‘zero’ waste to be disposed onto dump yards and landfills. All over the
world, Zero Waste Management has been accepted (and is being practiced) as the best
solution to the problem of waste, for the following reasons. Waste is segregated and
resources are recovered through composting of organic waste and recycling of inorganic
waste. Compost generated through Zero Waste Management is used to promote organic
farming, bringing down the use of chemicals in agriculture. Zero Waste Management
helps reduce the rate of virgin raw material extraction and resource depletion. Zero Waste
Management minimizes waste disposal at dumpsites and reduces pollution of air, ground

the sample for the study. One hundred seventeen (117) copies of the questionnaires given
out were successfully completed and returned. The possibility of retrieving back all the
questionnaires was a result of the researchers’ classmates who offered a helping hand.

Based on the table shown above, Proper garbage disposal in public places was
strictly implemented with a mean of 3.09. In school, candy wrappers were thrown at
chalk box. This means that no matter the school imposed proper waste segregation,
students still not follow. Burning of any disposed waste and plastic material was also an
improper activity done at home because it affects the environment. Therefore, most of the
students of Mary help of Christian’s boarding school practiced proper waste management
system in Public places. However, in school and at home they practice improper waste
segregation.

segregation of students.

respondents. The average mean values for each question were calculated. (see in the
appendices)
Based from the respondent’s answers, the highest mean value obtained was 3.17
for the question number 2 “Where do you practiced proper waste segregation most of the
time?” Also, the question number 3 in the 5 th statement which is “Proper garbage
5.2 CONCLUSION
Based from the findings gathered, the following conclusions were made.
3. Students are the ones who throws trashes anywhere because of their misbehavior
and laziness.
The following recommendation are presented based from the results of this study:
1. For students, they should develop proper attitudes and perception towards waste
handling, which should be achieved through both formal and informal education.
2. For students, they should adopt the suitable collection system i.e. separate waste
3. For teachers, they should adopt a self-help approach to solve the problem and
make sure that they themselves adhere to proper waste disposal practices.
4. For teachers, they should take any and all necessary steps to educate their student
on segregating waste.
