INTRODUCTION

With the economy of the world today progresses, the waste that is produced by it
also increases becoming one of the problem that that most of the countries faces.
Everything that the people consumes today contributes waste in the environment which
also leads pollution and hazardous effects to humans. Countries developed different
techniques to minimize the harmful effect of waste and how to manage it properly.
Waste management system is one of the solutions that most countries have in
common to reduce wastes. The system first appeared in London in the late 18 th
century[1]. There was no rules for the proper disposal of waste during the 18 th century
and it became a problem. The idea of a municipal authority with powers to remove
rubbish was talked of in the mid-18th century by Corbyn Morris a customs official at the
time. He believed the health of the population to be of ‘great importance’ and that public
management should be undertaken to clean the city of London [2]. Horse drawn open
backed carts were the first collection vehicles used. Followed by steam driven trucks at
the close of the 19th century[3].
Different establishment including schools are required to have more than one waste
segregation bins. Although these bins are in sight, some don’t know where to put
properly their wastes. This problem made the researchers to conduct a research on the
wastes segregation and waste management in Saint Paul University Dumaguete.

Objectives:
 To determine the effectiveness of the waste segregation bins in Saint Paul
University Dumaguete.
 To know how well the people of Saint Paul University Dumaguete practice
waste management
 To come up with other alternatives to strengthen the waste management of
Saint Paul University Dumaguete.

Statement of the Problem

 How many waste segregation bins are located in the college building?
 Is the wastes properly segregated? If not, how many percentage does the waste
from bins mixed with other wastes?
 What waste product usually gets mixed with other product?
