INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

“Solid wastes” are the discarded left overs of our

advanced consumer society. The growing mountain of

garbage and trash represents not only an attitude of

indifferent towards valuable natural resources, but also

a serious economic and public health problem (Carter,

1977).

Blanchard (n.d.) also define solid waste as

“useless, unwanted or discarded solid, liquid or

contained gaseous material resulting from industrial,

commercial, mining, agricultural, municipal or household

activities that is disposed or is stored, treated,

processed or transferred pending such disposal”. It is

typically referred to as trash, garbage, refuse, rubbish,

but close not include hazardous waste.

Moreover, the global community recognized that Solid

Waste Management (SWM) is an issue that requires serious

attention. The aggressive pursuit for economic growth, by

developing countries like the Philippines, has resulted

in the manufacture, distribution and use of products and

generation of wastes that contributes to environment

1
degradation and global climate change (Solid waste

management article, 2003 as cited in Alonzo, et al).

Likely, SWM is defined as discipline associated with

control of generation, storage, collection, transport or

transfer, processing and disposal of waste materials in a

way that best addresses the range of Public Health

Conservation, economies, aesthetics, engineering and

other environmental consideration (Leblanc, 2018).

Relatively, it is the collective, treating and disposal

of solid waste material that is discarded because it has

served its purpose or no longer useful (Nathanson, 2019).

Furthermore, Chinyama (2016) asserts that the

impacts of poor implementation of solid waste management

practices were found to be: land degradation, creation of

breeding grounds for disease carrying vectors such as

mosquitoes, rats, rodents, decrease in land values, and

different severe diseases. Furthermore, it was found by

statistical analysis, that there was a significant

relationship between poor solid waste management

practices and environmental and health problems faced by

the community.

Nevertheless, the primary goal of solid waste

management is reducing and eliminating adverse impacts of

2
waste material on human health and environment to support

economic development and superior, quality of life

(Leblanc, 2018).

Conceptual Framework

This study was anchored from the principles drawn

from the provisions of RA. 9003: Solid Waste Management

such as: Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000,

Management of Solid Waste, Requirements for the

Segregation and Storage of Solid Waste, and Waste

Characterization and Segregation. These concepts are

presented and discussed in the succeeding paragraphs.

The Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000

stated that waste mismanagement has a serious

environmental effects making the passage of the RA. 9003

a landmark legislation in the Philippines. The law was

crafted in response to the looming garbage problems in

the country. RA. 9003 declares the policy of the state in

adopting a systematic, comprehensive and ecological solid

waste management program that ensures the protection of

public health and the environment and the proper

segregation, collection, transport, storage, treatment,

and disposal of solid waste through the formulation and

3
adoption of best environmental practices. Moreover, it

illustrates the potentials and benefits of recycling not

only in addressing waste management problems but also in

alleviating poverty. In RA. 9003 describes solid waste

management as a discipline associated with the control of

generation, storage, collection, transfer and transport,

processing, and disposal of solid wastes. 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. The

Act provides for a comprehensive ecological solid waste

management program by creating the necessary

institutional mechanisms and incentives, appropriating

funds, declaring certain acts prohibited, and providing

penalties (Aquino, et al, 2013).

Also, management of solid waste (SWM) is one of the

great challenges for development all over the world. It

is not only because SWM has impact on the environment or

in human health, but poor implementation of SWM hinders

the nation’s progress towards the Sustainable Development

(SD). Accordingly, there is a need for more comprehensive

strategies for SWM within development processes. It is

4
important to improve SWM for Sustainable Development

through environmental conservation. Further it shows that

development with growing economy and population generates

the solid waste which causes environmental pollution and

degradation. Waste separation, recycling, and composting

can be used as method for SWM with legal structure,

awareness rising, attitude change, synergy between

authority and the community to mitigate these impact on

the environment (Jiae, n.d.).

Moreover, the Requirements for the Segregation and

Storage of Solid Waste as stated in article 2, section 22

of RA. 9003, there shall be a separate container for each

type of waste from all sources, that in the case of bulky

waste, it will suffice that the same be collected and

placed in a separate and designated area. The solid waste

containers depending on its use shall be properly marked

or identified for on-site collection as “compostable”,

“non-recyclable”, “recyclable”, or “special waste”, or

any classification as may be determined by the commission

(RA. 9003, n.d.).

Likely, the concept of Waste Characterization and

Segregation avers that the solid wastes generated within

5
the area of jurisdiction shall be characterized for

initial source reduction and recycling element of the

local waste management plan. A separate container is

required for each type of waste for on-site collection

properly marked as “compostable”, “non-recyclable”,

“recyclable” or “special waste”. Waste segregation shall

primarily be conducted at the source including household,

commercial, industrial and agricultural sources (Aquino,

et.al, 2013).

Relatively, SWM awareness is an environmental

campaign which aims not only to educate people on the

consequence of creating and managing waste but also to

form in them the right attitude which will consequently

motivate them to do desirable practices for waste

disposal at home, school, and elsewhere (Madrigal, 2018).

Licy et al. (2013) pointed out that waste management

awareness is a need to improve the practice of waste

management. But awareness may not be easily translated

into practices. Based from the findings of Ifegbesan ( )

as cited by Madrigal (2018), knowledge and practices with

regards to waste management significantly differed

according to sex, age, and class membership which may

traced from ineffective waste management education for

6
school children. Instead of viewing ecological solid

waste management as a compulsory activity and a

government responsibility, the community must view it as

a means to create a more progressive and livable city or

municipality for its citizens. As they always say,

cleanliness starts with one’s self; practicing to

segregate our own waste can go a long towards preserving

planet earth (Palafox, 2017).

DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

This section presents the research design used in

the study, population and locale of the study, the data

gathering procedures, data gathering tools and treatment

of data.

Research Design

The study used the descriptive-survey method to

determine the level of awareness on the implementation of

12
RA. 9003: Solid Waste Management, level of effectiveness

on the implementation of RA. 9003: Solid Waste

Management, and level of satisfaction on the

implementation of RA. 9003: Solid Waste Management.

According to McCombes (2019), descriptive research is an

appropriate choice when the research aim is to identify

characteristics, frequencies, trends, correlations, and

categories. Survey research allows you to gather large

volumes of data that can be analyzed for frequencies,

averages and patterns. They are a common method in

correlational research, a type of descriptive research

that aims to find relationships between variables.

Population and Locale of the Study

This study was conducted in Cordillera Career

Development College, Buyagan, Poblacion, La Trinidad,

Benguet, specifically the Junior High School department

during the academic year 2019-2020. Stratified sampling

technique was used to identify the number of respondents

with Slovin’s Method. Considered from the 416 total

population of Junior High School students, the margin of

13
error is estimated at the statistics significance of

0.05, the sample size should not be less than 202

samples. Thus, this study adopted such number with

respect to the Junior High School students. To determine

the names of respondents, draw lots method was used.

Table 1 presents the population of the study.

Data Gathering Tools

This study utilized a questionnaire-checklist

adapted from RA. 9003 as the main data gathering tool.

The indicators of the research instrument will be drawn

from the provisions of the Ecological Solid Waste

Management Act of 2000.

Meanwhile, the questionnaire-checklist consist of

the following parts; Part I deals on the personal

information of the respondents. Part II was focused on

the level of awareness on the implementation of RA. 9003:

14
Solid Waste Management; Part III deals on the level of

effectiveness of RA. 9003: Solid Waste Management; Part

IV deals on the level of satisfaction on the

implementation of RA. 9003: Solid Waste Management.

Data Gathering Procedures

In gathering data, the researchers first formally

asked permission from the Junior High School coordinator

of Cordillera Career Development College to conduct the

research with Junior High School students as their

respondents.

The data for this research was collected using a

survey questionnaire and informal interviews. The survey

was created based on the objectives of the research. The

questionnaire was then distributed to the chosen

respondents.

The researchers started it by introducing themselves

to the respondents and give them a short orientation

regarding their research topic particularly the title,

problem, and objectives of the research.

After having the tests done, the researchers

personally collected the questionnaires from the

respondents and the responses was tallied, tabulated and

analyzed

15
Treatment of Data

The following scales was utilized to interpret the

result for the level of awareness in the implementation

of RA. 9003: Solid Waste Management, level of

effectiveness in the implementation of RA. 9003: Solid

Waste Management, and level of satisfaction in the

implementation of RA. 9003: Solid Waste Management in

CCDC, La Trinidad, Benguet.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

This chapter presents and interprets the data regarding

the level of awareness on the implementation of RA. 9003:

Solid Waste Management and the level of effectiveness on

the implementation of RA. 9003: Solid Waste Management.

Furthermore, this portion of the study reveals the level

of awareness on the implementation of RA. 9003: Solid

Waste Management as perceived by the chosen respondents.

Level of Awareness on the Implementation

of RA. 9003: Solid Waste Management

18
 Table 2 presents the level of awareness on the

implementation of RA. 9003: Solid Waste Management. It

has an average of 3.40 with a description of highly

aware. This indicates that the respondents are highly

aware when it comes to solid waste management because of

the 3R’s policy namely the reduce, reuse, recycle which

have been entirely imposed inside the school campus. In

addition, several seminars and activities are being

conducted in the school that helped in enriching the

awareness and knowledge of students when it comes to

waste and waste management. Relatively, student’s

awareness about solid waste and how to cope with its

effects to the environment can be increased through

education. According to Desa, et al (2012), it is

expected that solid waste management activities in

university campus involve the students as part of their

learning process. The particular skills and knowledge

gained from environmental education would help in

changing human behavior towards the environment. Likely,

the best way to create awareness and to educate the

students, steps has to be taken to include environmental

education in the school educational system. This must be

the leading approach to address the environmental

19
problems and engendering sustainable development.

Knowledge and understanding to the environment are

important since a degraded environment means a lower

quality of life for all. It is, therefore, the collective

responsibility of all human beings to secure a healthy

environment not only for the present, but also for the

future generations, so building environmental curricula

on this principle becomes a necessity.

The two top-ranking indicators and the lowest

indicator based on the computed means are presented and

discussed in the succeeding paragraphs.

The highest indicator is “Reducing waste and

recycling can save money, energy, and resources” with a

weighted mean of 3.57, which is interpreted as highly

aware. This implies that most of the respondents are

very aware of the good impacts of waste reduction and

recycling when it comes to dealing with resources, money,

and energy.

In relation to the result arrive at, United States

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stated that natural

resources are being conserved including trees, metal, and

water because of the concept of recycling and reusing of

waste. It saves money because increasing recycling can

cut your disposal cost and improve your bottom line.

21
Recycling also saves energy, it helps keep materials out

of landfills and incinerators, and provides raw materials

for the production of new products. It is about making

the best use of the resources we have available and

conserving those resources for the future generations. It

is about conserving water, energy, land and raw

materials.

The second indicator is “Reducing, reusing,

recycling and composting are good options for managing

waste” which garnered a weighted mean of 3.52,

interpreted as highly aware. This implies that most of

the respondents have enough knowledge and understanding

with regards to the benefits of the imposition of the

3R’s policy including composting to come up with a

successful waste management.

Conserve Energy Future (2020) affirmed that the 3R’s

all help to cut down on the amount of waste we throw

away. Supporting the first top ranking indicator they

conserve natural resources, landfill space, energy. Plus,

the 3R’s save land and money which communities must use

to dispose waste in landfills. Siting a new landfill has

become difficult and more expensive due to environmental

regulations and public opposition.

22
 Meanwhile, the lowest indicator is “Solid waste

include gases such as air pollutants, liquids: sewage,

and solids: refuse” which is inferred as moderately aware

because of having a weighted mean of 3.18.

RCRA states that “solid waste” means any garbage or

refuse, sludge from a waste water treatment plant, water

supply treatment plant, or air pollution control facility

and other discarded material, resulting from industrial,

commercial, mining, and agricultural operations, and from

community activities. But most of the time, solid wastes

are misinterpreted as wastes that are only physically

solid. It is important to note that the definition of

solid waste is not limited to waste that are physically

solid. Many solid wastes are liquid, semi-solid, or

contained gaseous material.

Difference in the Level of Awareness

in the Implementation of RA 9003:
Solid Waste Management according
to profile

Sex. As indicated in table 2.1, the level of

awareness of male junior high school students in terms of

weighted mean is lower (3.31) than that of the female

junior high school students (3.50). This is due to the

23
fact that females are more conscious about cleanliness

and are more organized compared to males.

In corroboration, based from a study conducted in

Indonesia by GA Circular (2019), women identified

themselves as “binners” (proper disposers) of waste while

men identified themselves as “litterers”. Women were also

more inclined to want to understand and learn about waste

management and disposal.

Additionally, based from GA Circular’s in-person

interviews with collectors, who interact directly with

households, it is the women who manage the waste in the

households but men may participate in the actual handing

over to a formal waste collectors or the disposal

process. The finding shows that women are more aware than

men because of their societal role wherein they are more

engaged in activities that involves environmental

concerns, specifically cleaning.

However, Limpot (2016) claimed that even though

there is a difference between a man and a woman, there is

still an aspect that both can perform the same. The level

of awareness both can absorb things in the same manner

but in the time of application they may differ.

Statistical analysis shows that the p-value of

0.00025 is lower than the α-value of 0.05 signifying that

25
there is enough evidence to accept the research

hypothesis. Therefore, there is a significant difference

in the level of awareness in the implementation of RA

9003: Solid Waste Management when respondents are grouped

according to sex. Consequently, the level of awareness

between male and females vary.

Grade Level. As gathered in table 2.2, Grade 10

garnered an average mean of 3.50 creating a gap of 0.18

from the 3.32 average mean of Grade 9.

The results according to the weighted mean reveals

that the higher the grade level, the higher the tendency

they become more responsible and vice-versa. Having a

year ahead, Grade 10 students have more plenty of time

familiarizing themselves to the school policies most

especially when it comes to waste management compared to

Grade 9 students. Based also on the researchers’

observations, Grade 10 have more organized trash bin set

up, trashes are being segregated, and trash are minimized

compared to Grade 9. Many previous studies also found

that older people are more cooperative in waste reduction

efforts than younger people.

To justify the result, a study conducted by Limpot

(2016) proved that there is a significant difference in

the awareness among students of different level. It could

be compared to experience. While we are growing old in

the repetitive routine, we could master the work and will

learn new ideas in the easy achievement of such.  We

would discover new things from day to day experience. As

far as we are learning, we are gathering information and

27
knowledge that could be used in the future. Integration

classes of lessons for example, about the care of nature

can be collected little by little from the first year in

high school until the fourth grade. It implies that

knowledge from Grade 7 if retained in learner’s memory

could be added to new learning in the Grade 8 level until

one reaches Grade 10.

Scott (1999), Meneses and Palacio (2005), Saphores,

et. al (2006) as cited in Choon, et. al (2016) claims

that older people are more likely to recycle waste than

the young ones.

Statistical analysis shows that the p-value is equal

to 0.00004 which is lesser than the α value of 0.05

indicating that the research hypothesis is extremely

accepted. As a result, there is a significant difference

between the level of awareness among the junior high

school students when they are categorized according to

their grade level. Therefore, Grade 9 and Grade 10

students vary when it comes to the level of awareness

towards waste management.

Level of Effectiveness on the Implementation of RA. 9003:

Solid Waste Management

28
 Table 3 presents The Level of Effectiveness on the

Implementation of RA. 9003: Solid Waste Management.

It has an average of 3.30 with a description of

highly effective. The respondents perceived these

indicators as highly effective due to the fact that they

can successfully manage their waste because these already

exist and being imposed since they are in the lower grade

level. Moreover, the respondents are highly aware on the

implementation of RA 9003: Solid Waste Management as it

was revealed on the overall result of objective number 1.

Studies says that knowledge influences attitude that

subsequently determines behavior particularly in solid

waste management as intervened by appropriate

environmental education.

The two top ranking indicators together with the

lowest ranking indicator based on the computed means are

presented and discussed in the succeeding paragraphs.

“Proper way of recycling” came to be the first top

indicator with a weighted mean of 3.54, interpreted as

highly effective. This denotes that recycling is much

preferred by the students in dealing and managing solid

wastes.

29
 Menikpura, et. al (2012) stated in their study that

recycling, long known to be an environment-friendly

strategy, is one of the most practiced municipal solid

waste management method. As far as environmental

friendliness is concerned, recycling activities make

significant positive influences by preventing greenhouse

gas emissions and water pollution, saving energy by

avoiding virgin production process chains as well as

diverting waste from landfills and incinerators.

Similarly, recycling turns materials that would

otherwise become waste into valuable resources. It yields

environmental, financial, and social returns in natural

resource conservation, energy conservation, pollution

prevention, and economic expansion and competitiveness.

Oke and Kruijsen (2016) supported that recycling

which is the preferred “waste treatment” method based on

the tenets of waste hierarchy has been reported as a

gateway to other pro-environmental behaviors.

The second top indicator is “proper way of disposing

waste” which attained a weighted mean of 3.52,

interpreted as highly effective. This suggests that

proper way of disposing waste is also one of the

effective way to address problems regarding solid waste

management as perceived by the respondents. Failure to do

so may severely endanger public health and/or the

environment. Proper waste disposal begins with good waste

management including minimum waste generation, reusing

surplus materials, and recycling of appropriate waste.

The generated waste must be properly collected and

31
stored, paying, close attention to labeling, segregating

according to chemical compatibility, and accumulating in

a well-ventilated location (Rioux, et.al, 2020). If the

generation of waste is being minimized, and is

appropriately handled and disposed properly, it helps

consumers prevent additional pollution which can improve

public health and waste have a lesser chance of getting

into the water supply and cause illnesses.

Temporarily, “Posting slogan/ poster related to

solid waste management” ranked the lowest with a weighted

mean of 3.00 which is concluded as moderately effective.

Although this indicator is perceived by the respondents

as moderately effective, based from the overall rank, it

ranked lowest among the 9 indicators due to the fact that

it is being neglected sometimes and its purpose to

disseminate useful information is not given importance

because of changes brought by modernization. Today’s

generation mostly prefer more on the use of social media

to acquire and disseminate information. It is also

sometimes discouraged because if not properly posted, it

turns into waste that contributes in the rapid increase

of waste population.

32
 In the contrary, Slogans Hub (2019) opposed the

result of the study, claiming that awareness campaigns

need to be run all around the world to aware people of

the effects of pollution caused by waste mismanagement on

our health and also on the environment. Slogan on

pollution are the best tool to utilize to spread this

message more effectively as they can catch people’s

attention and stick to their mind in a long period of

time.

Difference in the Level of effectiveness

in the Implementation of RA 9003:
Solid Waste Management according
to profile

Sex. As shown in table 3.1, female students

perceived higher level of effectiveness towards the

implementation of RA. 9003: Solid Waste Management with

an overall average mean of 3.40 creating 0.20 gap from

the 3.20 average mean of male students.

The result implies that females are typically more

engaged in environmental activities compared to male

students and it seems that they are more conscious about

the effects of waste related policies and techniques on

how to combat the emerging waste problems. Basing also

33
from the result drawn from objective 2.1(the significant

difference between male and female when it comes to level

of awareness on the implementation of RA. 9003), it

reflects that female are more aware of the said law. As a

result, they will find the techniques and ways of

managing waste as effective and compatible in battling

waste problems.

Conversely, statistical analysis revealed that the

p-value of 1.15 exceeds the α-value of 0.05 signifying

that the research hypothesis must be rejected. Thus,

there is no significant difference between the

perceptions of male and female on the level of

effectiveness of the implementation of RA. 9003; Solid

Waste Management if based on statistical analysis.

Grade Level. Grade 10 students with an average mean

of 3.32 surpasses the Grade 9 students with an average

mean of 3.27 when it comes to their perception towards

level of effectiveness of the implementation of RA 9003:

Solid Waste Management in CCDC.

According to the result as professed by the Grade 10

students, they are more aware of the effectiveness of the

practices and policies conducted inside the school

premises because they have gained and observed more the

effectiveness of these since they enrolled in high

school. Compared to Grade 9 students, they are only in

the stage of familiarizing the policies and practices

being imposed in accordance with the implementation of

solid waste management. As an impact, they have lesser

idea about the effectiveness of the said act.

Based from the result driven from the statistical

analysis, the p-value of 0.02 is less than the α-value of

0.05. This indicates that the research hypothesis is

accepted. Therefore, there is a significant difference in

the perception of students towards the level of

effectiveness of the implementation of RA 9003: Solid

Waste Management. Thus, how Grade 9 students assess the

effectiveness of solid waste management in the school is

different from the assessment of Grade 10 students.

Level of satisfaction on the Implementation of RA. 9003:

Solid Waste Management.

Table 4 presents the Level of satisfaction on the

Implementation of RA. 9003: Solid Waste Management. As

shown in table 4 the overall weighted mean is 3.36 which

is interpreted as fully satisfied. The respondents are

contented because in relation to the result of objective

no.2, the respondents averred that the imposition of the

policies and practices promoting the provisions of RA

36
9003: Solid Waste Management is highly effective for

them. As a result, the level of their satisfaction with

regards to the implementation of the said act is very

high.

In corroboration, Canbolat (2017) confirmed that

student’s satisfaction has been acknowledged for

reflecting the feeling of sufficiency from the

accomplishment of needs, as well as the consistency

between expected gain and the actual experience.

Abu Hasan et. al (2009) also supported, stating in

his study that service quality has a significant positive

relationship with student satisfaction. Thus, it confirms

other literature trying to suggest, which is by improving

service quality through leveling up the awareness of the

students at the same time, implementing policies that are

effective in addressing waste problems, may potentially

improve student satisfaction.

Average

The two indicators that ranked highest are presented

and discussed below together with the lowest indicator

based on the computed means.

With regards to the top indicator, “trash bin set up

in every class room” garnering an overall average mean of

3.36 and evaluated as highly satisfied indicates that

both Grade 9 and Grade 10 have complete trash bins

allotted for different kind of waste namely:

biodegradable, non- biodegradable, and special waste that

suffices their satisfaction as the users. Moreover, the

researchers, found out that wastes are well segregated

and trash bins are in organized manner too. In connection

also to the results of the two aforementioned objectives,

both objectives acquired a positive result providing the

researchers the idea that the awareness of students about

38
a certain policy or law and if they will find this

effective and important, it affects their satisfactions

as an individual.

The second indicator that achieved a high average

mean of 3.40, interpreted as highly satisfied is

indicator no. 2 which is “Disposing of waste through

segregation”. This entails that the culture of

segregation being practiced in the school satisfies the

students and met their expectations. Relatedly, because

they are satisfied on the setup of trash bins in their

classrooms, this indicates that segregation is easier for

them because of proper trash bin setup.

On the other hand, “degree of punishments given to

students who don’t comply with it” ranked 7th with a

total average mean of 3.25, construed as moderately

satisfied. This dictates that punishments as the

consequences for not complying with the policies being

imposed inside the school is not strictly executed. Weak

execution of punishments can lead to failure of the

implementation of policies. If authorized personnel fail

to execute these policies, these can impede or limit

39
improvements in waste management and disposal (Ocenar,

2001, as cited in Kojima and Michida ed, 2011).

Difference in the Level of Satisfaction

in the Implementation of RA 9003:
Solid Waste Management According
to Profile

Sex. As gleaned in table 4.1, females are more

satisfied to the implementation of RA 9003: Solid Waste

Management than males. This suggests that female students

are more favorable to the way of imposing the mentioned

law. Basing from the results acquired from the 2

preceding objectives discussed from the previous pages,

females are more assertive compared to males when it

comes to awareness and insights on the effectiveness of

the implemented policies and practices concerning waste

40
problems. Thus, it specifies that they have higher level

of satisfaction compared to males.

Comparably, statistical analysis shows that the p-

value of 0.005 is less than the α-value of 0.05 which

indicates that the research hypothesis is accepted.

Therefore, there is a significant difference in the level

of satisfaction between students when they are grouped

according to sex. And so, junior high school male and

female students vary in terms of the level of

satisfaction regarding the implementation of solid waste

management.

Grade level. Table 4.2 shows that grade 10 are more

satisfied to the implementation of solid waste management

having a total average mean of 3.46 creating a difference

of 0.18 from the average mean of grade 9 students which

is 3.28. Linking from the result from objectives 1 and 2,

grade 10 are more dominant than grade 9 students in terms

of their awareness and perception towards the

effectiveness of the solid waste management act.

Consequently, their satisfaction towards solid waste

management is affected.

satisfaction between grade 9 and grade 10 students

7. Waste treatment and characterization. 3.27 3.46
Average Mean 3.28 3.46
p-value:0.004 α=0.05

In a similar way, statistical analysis shows that

the p-value of 0.004 is less than the α-value of 0.05

which indicates that the research hypothesis is accepted.

Therefore, there is a significant difference in the level

of satisfaction between students when they are grouped

according to grade level. Thus, grade 9 and grade 10 have

different level of satisfaction towards the

implementation of solid waste management.

Summary of Findings

In the assessment made by the researchers, the

implementation of RA 9003: Solid Waste Management in CCDC

is described as follows:

Junior high school students in overall, are highly

aware in relation to the implementation of solid waste

management. Proved by the 9 out of 10 indicators which

42
are inferred as highly aware. The one indicator that is

implied as moderately aware and perceived to be the least

indicator is solid waste include gases such as air

pollutants, liquids: sewage, and solids: refuse. On the

other hand, the level of awareness in the implementation

of RA 9003: Solid Waste Management revealed a significant

difference when respondents are grouped based on their

sex and grade level. Both average mean and statistical

analysis showed a significant difference.

In terms of the level of effectiveness of the

implementation of RA 9003: Solid Waste Management when

perceived by junior high school students, it was

interpreted as highly effective. Among the 9 indicators,

6 were denoted as highly effective and the rest 3

indicators were perceived as moderately effective namely:

supervise seminars regarding solid waste management,

imposition of punishment on students who don’t abide with

the rules and regulation, and posting slogan/ poster

related to solid waste management. Posting slogan/ poster

related to solid waste management ranked lowest although

it is inferred as moderately effective. Meanwhile,

respondents showed that there is a significant difference

in the level of effectiveness of the implementation of

43
solid waste management as viewed by them when they are

grouped according to sex and grade level if based on the

result driven from average mean. However, if based from

the result drawn using statistical analysis, there is no

significant difference in the perception of respondents

when they are grouped according to sex only.

The respondents perceived that they are highly

satisfied on the implementation of solid waste

management. Out of 7 indicators, only one is interpreted

as moderately satisfied and the rest are all interpreted

as highly satisfied. “Trash bin set-up in every

classroom” ranked first while “degree of punishments

given to students who don’t comply with it” perceived to

be the lowest indicator. For the meantime, both results

based on average mean and statistical analysis shows that

there is a significant difference in the level of

satisfaction when respondents are grouped according to

sex and grade level.

44
 Conclusions and Recommendations

This part contains the conclusions and the

recommendations with regard to the implementation of RA

9003: Solid Waste Management.

Conclusions

The junior high school students of CCDC are highly

aware of the provisions of RA 9003 particularly on its

implementation inside the school. As a result, their high

level of awareness has a positive impact on how they

comprehend with the effectiveness of the implementation

of RA 9003 as it was perceived as highly effective. In

addition, the respondents are highly satisfied in the

implementation of the said law.

Meanwhile, both sex and grade level affects the

perception of students in terms of awareness,

45
effectiveness, and satisfaction towards/of the

implementation of RA 9003: Solid Waste Management.

Recommendations

Based on the conclusions arrived at, the researchers

persistently and determinedly propose the following for

consideration:

1. The school together with the authorized

personnel must develop more measures, seminars, and

environment-related activities to further increase the

awareness and voluntary participation of students in

terms of addressing waste problems.

2. The school as well as the authorized personnel

should maintain their good performance in implementing

effective policies and practices promoting the provisions

of ecological solid waste management.

3. Authorized personnel and teachers must strictly

execute punishments and penalties among students who

violates the school policies regarding waste management.

4. The school must adopt certain ways or

strategies to improve waste management inside the school

most specially to address the minimization of waste.

46
Strategies may include putting up a recycling and

composting facility (vermi-composting facility).

5. Other researches are encouraged to be conducted

on matters not included in the study like for examples:

significant relationship between the level of awareness

and compliance of students in the implementation of

ecological solid waste management, comparative study

regarding the awareness between senior high school and

junior high school student towards the implementation of

RA 9003: solid waste management, etc.
