Culaste et al (2018) observed that while respondents have knowledge of and support waste segregation

measures, there is still a considerable gap in their attitudes and practices regarding waste segregation.

The respondents rated “Partially Aware” on indicators 2 and 5, “Waste management negligence has a
negative impact on the environment” and “Proper segregation of different types of waste (biodegrable,
recyclable, special wastes) is important in reducing waste” with a mean 3.04 and 3.05.

The result shows that the resident of Mogpog are partially aware in impact of waste management in our
environment and have a positive attitude towards importance of waste segregation. Despite their
knowledge and attitude, the respondent rarely exercises and practice of proper waste management.

Indicators 9, “Know national laws and local ordinances on proper waste management” placed 10 th, had
the lowest mean value of 2.17 translated as “Less Aware”. Despite agreeing in proper waste
management and the negative impact of waste in our environment, the respondents are less aware to
the national laws and local ordinances on proper waste management.

For the awareness on environmentally-friendly ways of managing ways of the resident of Mogpog, the
calculated mean was 2.61, with the qualitative interpretation of “Partially Aware”. This highlights the
majority of the respondents’ awareness on environmentally-friendly ways of managing ways.

Ambayic et al. (2013) define reduction as deliberately acquiring goods that produce less garbage. It
helps schools reduce waste while teaching youngsters appropriate trash management.

Table 1 shows Minimizing the Generation of Solid Wastes. The respondents rated “Partially Aware” on
all factors, especially 2.1.2 “The local government of Mogpog with the help of the barangays conducted
an Information, Education, and Communication campaign for reduction of waste as part of the
implementation of Solid Waste Management Plan” with the highest mean score of 2.96. This study
shows that the reduction of waste as a part of the implementation were conducted of the local
government with the help of barangay.

Indicator 2.1.1, “The most important way to manage waste is to reduce waste generation” had the
lowest mean value of 2.49 translated as “Less Aware”.

Overall, the calculated mean for minimizing solid the generation of solid waste was 2.79, with the
qualitative interpretation of “Partially Aware”.

2.2

Culaste et al (2018) observed that while respondents have knowledge of and support waste segregation
measures, there is stilla considerable gap in their attitudes and practices regarding waste segregation.
The respondents result “Partially Aware” on indicators 2.2.2, “The proper segregation of waste
according to the level of benefit and method of disposal helps to reduce the waste that has detrimental
effect the environment” with a highest mean 2.96. The result shows that the resident is partially aware
proper waste segregation can help with the detrimental effects on our environment.

Indicator 2.2.4, “Implementation of waste segregation in their community and providing programs and
facilities (MRFs, shredding machines, production facilities etc.) encourages and promotes the reuse of
biodegradable and recyclable waste materials” had the lowest mean value of 2.17 translated to “Less
Aware”. Despite agreeing in proper waste segregation that can help the effects on our environment,
every community has deficiencies in the implementation of waste segregation programs that can help
people encourage and promote proper waste segregation.

For waste segregation at source, the calculated mean was 2.48, with the quantitative interpretation of
“Less Aware”. This highlight the majority of respondents are less aware on practice effective trash
segregation in their communities.

According to Bator et al. (2011), Waterloo University Environmental Studies students appear to lack
awareness of recycling. We thought that all students at the University of Waterloo are similarly
knowledgeable of recycling methods because the college students are more ecologically sensitive.
Diverse educational sources should be utilized to broaden campus awareness.

Ferrer (2015) conducted a survey on 300 college students from Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, a
chartered institution in the Philippines, about reduce, reuse, and recycle practices. He claims that
students' recycling habits are independent of their profiles. Ferrer suggests that regardless of the profile,
all pupils should be taught to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Table 1 shows for recovery/re-use/recycling of source materials. The respondents rated “Partially
Aware” on all factors, especially 2.3.4 “It was learned that recyclable waste materials such as paper and
cardboard will be recycled as decors, ecobags etc.” with a means of 2.94 and has a qualitative
interpretation of “Partially Aware”.

Indicators 2.3.1 “It was learned that biodegradable waste materials are segregated and placed in the
compost pit to be made into fertilizer” had the lowest mean value of 2.39 translated to “Less Aware”.
This shows that all respondents are less aware of the benefits of compost fit and how to turn
biodegradable waste into fertilizer.

For recovery/re-use/recycling of source materials, the calculated mean was 2.71, with the quantitative
interpretation of “Partially Aware”. This highlight that the respondents aware on waste benefit and
waste reduction is equally important as recycling in achieving sustainable waste management.

Parocha, Esguerra, & Hular (2015) found that students in grades one to three do not segregate their
garbage. Similarly, despite their awareness of the subject, college students do not practice proper
garbage disposal (Madrigal and Oracion, 2018). Students moderately practice effective garbage disposal
from Paghasian's work (2017).

Table 1 shows for disposal of residual waste. The respondents rated “Partially Aware” on all factors,
especially Indication 2.4.5 “This local government of Mogpog is responsible to provide facility for
residual wastes such as sanitary landfill” which has a highest mean 2.81. The respondents aware that the
local government and barangay is responsible to collect and dispose of special and hazardous waste of
their constituents.

Indicators 2.4.1 “Special and hazardous waste materials are separated and disposed in the barangay
facility” had the lowest mean value of 2.45 translated to “Less Aware”. This finding indicates that
respondents are less aware on what to do with their special and hazardous waste materials.

Overall, that calculated mean for disposal of residual waste was 2.66, with the qualitative interpretation
of “Partially Aware”.

Table 1 shows Components of IEC Campaign in the Municipality of Mogpog. The respondents rated

preservation of the environment” and “You have accepted the methods described in the IEC of Solid
Waste Management for proper waste management” with a mean 2.83 and 2.82. especially indicator 8
“The methods mentioned in IEC are safer for your health” with a highest mean 2.96 translated to
“Agree”.

Indicator 1 “The methods mentioned or taught in the IEC of Solid Waste Management conform to the
ways, accustomed, or grown up in the management of one’s waste” had the lowest mean value 2.29
translated to “Disagree”. The status and level of urban and rural locations varied, the respondents
disagree with the methods and IEC of solid waste management taught in each community.

the findings.

Summary of Findings

Part I
According to the findings of this study, the residents of Mogpog are aware of the negative impacts of
incorrect waste management on their health and the environment.
Residents are aware and knowledgeable about the need of waste reduction in their communities, such
as not using single-use plastics and using eco-bags as an alternative waste reduction solution.
Residents have a fundamental understanding of different types of waste, such as biodegradable, non-
biodegradable, and recyclable waste, and they are aware of the need of appropriate waste sorting in
minimizing garbage.
Residents are aware of the benefits of appropriately decreasing biodegradable and recyclable waste and
are a big aid in reducing waste.
Residents are less conscious of the faulty waste management that produces quick changes in the world's
climate and disasters.
Every resident is less aware of the proper methods for disposing of special garbage and hazardous
waste.
When it comes to the national local government's programs and projects for effective waste
management, locals lack information and understanding of what is included in the programs and
projects carried out by the local government.
The majority of citizens in various towns have minimal understanding and awareness of national laws
and municipal ordinances, as well as the penalties for defying such laws and ordinances in improper
waste management.

Part II
2.1
In the local government of Mogpog with the help of the barangays as part of the implementation of the
solid waste management plan, the residents of the Mogpog government area have knowledge and
awareness when it comes to conducting the IEC campaign for waste reduction.
The Mogpog government's people are aware of the imposed restriction on the use of single-use plastic
in public and private facilities as part of the waste reduction strategy. The local government of Mogpog
is involved in waste reduction by encouraging its constituents to use multiple-use containers and eco
bags for shopping. As an alternative solution to waste reduction, the local government of Mogpog has
laid out programs with penalties for those who violate and do not comply, such as fines and
establishment closure.
It can be seen from these findings that the residents have less awareness that the most important way
to manage waste is to reduce waste generation.

2.2
Residents of mogpog are aware of proper waste separations that are useful and disposal methods that
help reduce waste that affects the environment.
Individual citizens who should be performing their tasks in good trash management are not given the
same level of attention as a significant individual who generates rubbish. And devise a new method for
reusing biodegradable and recyclable waste materials in their houses. Programs are implemented in
local communities, and facilities like as MRFs, shredding machines, production facilities, and others are
available. There is no emphasis on encouraging and promoting the reuse of biodegradable and
recyclable garbage. Furthermore, residents are less aware that the local government is tasked with
disposing of special, hazardous, and residual trash that fits the needs of the facilities.

2.3
Every household is aware of the potential applications of used bottles as décor, eco-bricks, and other
materials. It also includes the crushing and combining of shattered bottles to form hollow blocks or
bricks. Residents are also aware that recyclable waste materials such as sachets, shampoo, coffee, and
others can be utilized to make useful items such as bags, fans, and so on.
Furthermore, despite the fact that these individuals are less aware, biodegradable garbage is separated
and placed in a compost pile to be converted into fertilizer.

2.4
The constituents are only partially aware of the local government of Mogpog's obligations to provide
garbage collection facilities or collecting places in their barangays, and the collection and disposal of
special and hazardous wastes is the responsibility of the local government of Mogpog. It is the Mogpog
government's responsibility to have a special trash vault to keep collected special and hazardous wastes.
And it is the municipal authority of Mogpog's responsibility to have a sanitary landfill to place or store
diverse garbage.
Furthermore, the residents are less aware that hazardous and special wastes are separated and
disposed of in barangay facilities.

Part III
Residents agree to an organized and comprehensive IEC implementation of solid waste management in
their barangays, and the purpose of the Mogpog local government's solid waste management plan is in
line with the adopted IEC. Residents are invited to those that include crucial and extensive information
regarding Mogpog's solid waste management strategy. Furthermore, the vocabulary employed in IEC is
easily understood by participants. Residents also require adequate campaign materials such as posters,
billboards, and booklets. In the IEC of Solid Waste Management, barangays are used. Residents are
pleased with the tidy and simple materials utilized in the introduction of Mogpog's solid waste
management plan's IEC campaign. They also agree that workshops or demonstrations are included in
the IEC to help participants better grasp the path to proper waste management, and that the workshop
facilities are adequate. Residents also agree that the lecturers and information trainers in the conducted
iEC were effective, as were the methodology in the conducted IEC in their barrio in the implementation
of solid waste management in their communities.

Part IV
According to the conducted IEC campaign of solid waste management, the presentation of management
concepts, the residents who participated, and the waste management methods are suitable for your
community's situation. As a result, the member town governments of the Mogpog barangay and
community groups assisted in the training and diffusion of knowledge on proper trash management.
And the methods are adequate in that the methodology and materials utilized in the IEC of solid waste
management are carried out, and the ways indicated in the IEC of solid waste management plan are
more cost effective than conventional methods. Also, people of the IEC are safer for their health and the
conservation of the environment and wildlife. This is consistent with the excellent response of the solid
waste management solutions described in the IEC for proper waste management. Furthermore, the
majority of residents disagreed with the aforementioned and taught the IEC about solid waste
management in a way that they are familiar with, used to, or have grown up with waste management.
Most are also in conflict with national and local legislation.
