CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
The Republic Act No. 9003 or The Ecological Solid Waste Management Act
of 2000 stipulates the ethical guidelines for solid wastes reduction and manifestation
of the appropriate treatment measures (i.e. waste segregation, waste transport, waste
collection, and disposal) augmented through the supports of national research and
development programs. Hereby, the perpetration of the law supplied the necessary
framework and institutional schemes for the proper treatment of waste and wastes
disposal.
As indicated in the law, the collaboration of the National Solid Waste
Management Commission (NSWMC) with the its respective subordinates are
indeed necessary in order to produce Local Government Solid Waste Management
Plan which is strategically and geographically enforced in the local government
units (LGUs) fall for the implementation of safe and sanitary management plans for
solid waste treatments in the local areas.
Waste management is one of the most used key to eradicate wastes in
particular area around the globe. Indeed, this method is known for its practical use
without losing that of much expenses but needs to exert such effort effectively. One
2
Senior High School
of the effective ways in order to conquer the increase of solid wastes is to establish
a sense of cooperation to everyone not only by affected citizens of the growth of
solid wastes but also with the help of concerned citizens.
In order to localize, Callang National High School had been known for its
ever-shifting blurred line of waste segregation and waste management. As of the
school year 2018-2019, the Supreme Student Government or (SSG) lead the
awareness towards the waste segregation as the organization pursue to conduct
weekly evaluation in order to assess the students’ obligations such as waste
segregation. Out of 32 sections composing of both Junior and Senior High School
only 5 sections are being recognized each week. Mainly because, those sections that
are not being recognized are those who do not meet the ask criterion of evaluating
the practice of waste management including the collection, segregation and disposal.
That has been stated, the purpose of this research is to feed efficient
information to the expected readers in accordance to the research. The study
primarily correlates two entities at a time the students’ cooperation and sustainable
solutions for solid waste management.
In accordance to this, all of the generated ideas of this research undergone
researchers’ analysis questions from respected respondents. In addition, all of the
information that are held to unveil to the expected readers are analyzed and by the
that, the purpose of this research which are to educate and convince readers to
3

cooperate with the said solutions of waste management, are about to achieve.
Moreover, the accomplishment of this research may alter others’ perception into a
cooperative way of thinking, which this research aimed for. This study will
determine the significant relationship between students’ cooperation and sustainable

Students cooperation, will begin to become more aware of how much trash
they generate in daily life by observing and recording how much trash they produce
in a day. Students will become conscious of what type of materials they throw away
and need discipline to one students to become successful to segregate the waste
management foe the school.
One of the solutions to manage the wastes, school must provide trash cans to
segregate the wastes. Waste management offers a full range of customizable waste
and recycling solution that address the complexities of your individual campus
environment, taking steps to reduce school waste management can have a huge
impact on the environment of the school. It can save energy to reduce greenhouse
gas emission and decrease the amount of materials in landfills by implementing
waste reduction projects in the school.
Another strategy is that, the principal and concern authorities must act to
implement the policies for the school to maintain the waste management and all
students can follow the rules, daily. Disposal it is important in helping school’s
facilities, fields and respective areas of concern to cooperate to each individual in
school to properly dispose the waste and to innovate the proper waste disposal.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
CONCEPTUAL LITERATURE
Issues on solid waste disposal.
According to an article of Primetimeessay (2017) entitled “Waste Management
Awareness of It in Schools Assignments Example”, waste management means
collecting, transporting, processing, recycling and monitoring of the waste materials.
This conceptual shows the different ways of strategy on cooperation to sustainable
solution for waste management.
According to research concepts for sustainable waste management. Waste
management is closely associated with both these problems waste disposal issues
are exacerbated by changing patterns of consumption, industrial development and
urbanization; this in turn means that traditional systems for solid waste disposal and
recycling are no longer appropriate this problem affects informal settlements in
particular (Dasgupta, 2013).
Moreover, Dasgupta (2013) observed in Europe waste is increasingly being used
to produce both materials and energy and recycling now saves more greenhouse
gases than generating solid waste. Solid waste management is the process of
11
Senior High School
collecting, storing, treatment and disposal on solid waste in such a way that they are
harmless to humans, plants, animals the ecology and the environment generally
solid waste have become recurring features in our environment it is no longer in
doubt that our environment is inundated with the challenges of an - cleared solid
wastes.
With that being said, it encloses the general idea that one of the major problems
which is the growth of solid wastes have not been settled, nowadays. In a smaller
perspective every person could defy all of these circumstances through this research.
The lack of study regarding this topic would possibly fulfilled at all cost cause, the
previous researches only focus on the ways and causes of improper waste
management. On the other hand, solid waste management with its respective
methods are at hand to practice properly in order to conquer this societal problem.
Benefits of waste management.
Another article entitled “Concepts for Sustainable Waste Management Partnership for
Recycling (2017)”, gave emphasis on waste disposal that emerged into an industry
and is more than just removing waste the organic waste is segregated from
nonrecyclable and inorganic wastes. This has allowed cities to make use of organic
to create compost for public areas. There are even some cities that package and sell
the compost to make money. These items can be reprocessed and recycled and will
be used in producing new products. This method has helped reduce further
12
Senior High School
consumption of natural resources and at the same time lowers the ultimate needs for
waste disposal (GIZ, 2016).
Moreover, the environmental benefits of waste management, it is also
beneficial to health as well. In the past, burning waste in the land fill or in the
backyard was a common practice. But according to health agencies, when garbage
and plastics are being burned, they produce particulate matter that are solid
compounds and are suspended in the air. Exposure to this can increase the risk of
developing heart disease, respiratory disease, asthma and emphysema. Proper
disposal of waste or waste management relocates waste to areas where they can be
left, incinerated or disposed of in a safe manner (GIZ, 2016).
As a result, this respectively indicates that there is notice issue that everyone
must be involved since insufficient resources or capital to build counter strategies
could be barely possible. As a result, Kuniyal (as cited in Pradhan, 2009) noted that
the resources intended in dealing with this societal problem such as infrastructure,
financial capabilities and manpower are at held on low service provisions.
Moreover, this burden to everyone affected by these solid wastes are assured to
increase. Seemingly, the problem becomes more complicated, because as time
passes by, over population and urbanization are held to dominate the increase
growth of solid wastes.

13
Senior High School
Roles of the citizens with regards to waste disposal.
Simon (2008), observed in Sri Lanka as a developing country is also facing such
situation in urban waste management. The local authorities are responsible for
MSWS is Sri Lanka and practice several methods of disposal as open dumping,
composing, land filling, incineration, direct and in direct recycling. However due to
some limitations such as high operational and management cost, poor quality
products and poor understanding of process, economically viable, environmental
friendly and socially acceptable methods as limited in use. Therefor it appears that
the most of the waste disposal practices can harmfully affect the environment, such
as open dumping on land and water bodies, direct combustion and so forth.
According to Goel (2008) on his article review entitled “Municipal Waste
Management in India: A Critical Review”, solid waste management is one of the
most neglected aspects of India environment and the recent municipal solid waste
(management and handling). Rules 2000 have made it mandatory for the
administrative authority of any area to undertake responsibility for all activities
relating to municipal solid waste management. A survey of MSWM practices in
India are: underestimation of generation rates and therefore, underestimation of
resource requirements, lack of technical and managerial inputs, and lack of reliable
and updated information to the public and practitioners in the field.

RELATED RESEARCH LITERATURE
Wastes and the issues of waste management.
Solid waste management had been considered to innovate in order to ease
the growth of solid wastes, demands. In like manner, there had been numerous
strategical tools and plans to incorporate with solid waste management. These were
identified as prevention since, Philippines is much vulnerable to typhoons, causing
floods, flash floods, landslide and any other form of calamities. In order to have
clearer view on this topic area related studies have been determined.
Saat, Muhammad, Nur, Zawaha, Siti, Nor, Siti and Muhammad (2015)
conducted a study in Pasir Mas, Malaysia they observed that the huge volume of the
mud left in the area by the flood has been determined by the participants as the main
source of the post-flood wastes. Moreover, the speed of the clearing up operation
seeks the best cooperation of the government agencies and concerned citizens.
Nonetheless, it may not be as successful as it was supposed to be because there are
such enormous number of resident lack in proper education regarding awareness
among the community.
A study conducted in Malaysia points out that the effectiveness of waste
management depends on the cooperation of every people who are engaged in doing
waste management or so-called ‘gotong-royong. (Saat, Muhammad, Nur, Zawaha,
Siti, Nor, Siti & Muhammad (2015) This would be great help in order to assess the
15
Senior High School
said solution like this kind of societal problem. Another study also suggests that the
effectiveness of waste management is to educate people to proper waste
management and the implementation of municipal law (Douglas, Alam, Maghenda,
Mcdonnell McLean & Campbell (2008).
Certainly, this sense of cooperation must improve for the sake of the
people’s way of living with satisfaction. However, wastes that put this societal
problem, must be able to identify, in order to formulate the best solutions for the
practice of solid waste management. In accordance to this, there were solutions to
manage these solid wastes.
Since, solid waste had been known as part of the way we live. With that, the
increase of human population also indicates the enormous growth of solid wastes
across the nation. Hence, it was noted as one of the major societal problems that is
believed, have the inconsistency to surpass entirely. Since, Philippines is determined
as one of the developing countries, there could be insufficient resources to manage
these solid wastes. Zerboc (as cited in Pradhan, 2009) noted that, “In a developing
country, the problems associated with solid waste management are more acute than
in a developed country”.
Badran and Haggar (2006) define municipal solid waste as a general term
which encompasses all waste materials except hazardous waste, liquid waste and
atmospheric emissions. Solid waste can be further subdivided into two general
16
Senior High School
categories: residential and commercial. The residential category refers to the waste
that is designated as ‘garbage’. The garbage class can be described as the waste that
is gathered by the community services. The commercial category contains industrial
and agricultural customers. These clients are much more dispersed and produce
higher amounts of waste. The most important differentiator between residential
routes and commercial routes is that the waste management company serves
locations (commercial) instead of streets or quarters (residential). Moreover, the use
of containers in commercial routes requires a different type of truck.
Effectiveness of solid waste management.
Indeed, majority of the participants have been able to manage these wastes
through their own ways, such as, burning, throwing to the dustbin, and putting it to
the ground. This demonstrate how participants had been able to manage solid wastes
individually (Saat et al., 2015).
Henry, Yongsheng and Jun (2006) argue that, in relation on the effectiveness
of solid waste management through participants cooperation, immersing with
strategical plans must indeed essential. Identifying the worth of some of the wastes
must be taken in to consideration, especially in the country like Philippines which is
one of the developing countries. Incorporating the resource recovery as one the
strategies to implement with solid waste management, determined as the best

17
Senior High School
strategy in the effectiveness of solid waste management. For example, are the
recycling materials composting and energy recovery.
Sustainable solutions to improve waste management.
Furthermore, Integrated Solid Waste Management, or ISWM, is concept that
associates the innovation of the existing system of waste management or designing
the new system in order to adapt regarding the demands of the accumulation of solid
wastes (United Nations Environment Program, 2005).
As a result of ISWM more practical benefits generates in terms of waste
management activities. This could possibly boost participants’ motivation to
cooperate with solid waste management practice in a particular area. As a result,
participants are highly involved in the decision-making process on the solid waste
management since, the growth of solid wastes and the accumulation of the
population directly interdependent with one another.
With that being said, the strategical tools and plans to incorporate with solid
waste management are indeed essential throughout the entire process. While, it is
suspected to envisioned the effectiveness of solid waste management system
through its internal strength and weaknesses found on the participants, themselves.
Hence, this would improve the existing system to eradicate solid wastes.
Sustainable solid waste management according to Pradhan (2009), depends these
ideas to the system in order to come up with adequate and efficient provisions,
18
Senior High School
appropriately. Another highlighted point he noted, encloses with the collection and
transportation of wastes.
On the other hand, Pradhan (2009), also identified to his study that, other
than the factors explained there are also underlying key factors on the participants’
part, that is the existing decision-making system that supposed to persuades
participants to have their own way of cooperating to eradicate these wastes instead
of dissuade theme with the existing centralized form of managing solid wastes
around. This idea of Pradhan (2009) only implies that the decision-making system
must indeed be decentralized in order to allow participants to be more cooperative
and act efficiently.
Belien, Boeck, and Ackere (2011) identify solution method for a problem with only
one disposal facility substantially differs from a model for a problem with multiple disposal
facilities. First of all, one has to choose to which disposal facility each vehicle returns (truck
allocation).
Second, one has to decide when a vehicle returns to a disposal facility (collection
routing). When the collection vehicle is in the proximity of a disposal facility, it might be
better to do the disposal trip, even when the vehicle is not fully loaded. Although the
situation with a single disposal facility seems less realistic, there are certain contexts where
a method starting from a single disposal facility is desirable. If the number of disposal
facilities is very small compared to the amount of waste that needs to be collected, a
solution method that incorporates only one disposal facility becomes viable.
19
Senior High School
Aringhieri, Bruglieri, Malucelli and Nonato (2004) and Bodin, Mingozzi, Baldacci
and Ball (2000) provided an example of a publication where a homogenous fleet of vehicles
picks up containers. Different capacities often correspond to different vehicle sizes. This
has implications for the solution method as different vehicle classes have to be incorporated
into the model. In small city center with tiny alleys or bridges and roads with weight
restrictions, it is possible that certain arcs along the network can no longer be serviced by
certain vehicle classes. This is referred to as a vehicle/site dependency in the literature [56].
Vehicles can differ in capacity, daily capital cost, length of the workday, crew size, loading
system and other characteristics. The loading system, for instance, impacts the size of the
network. Some vehicles require that refuse bags are thrown in at the side of the vehicle
(sideloading) while other vehicles require that employees throw in the refuse bags at the
back of the vehicle (rear-loading). Traversing an arc with a side-loader implies that only one
side of the road has been cleared. This means that each edge in the network has two arcs of
opposite direction, corresponding to the left and the right side of each street. Traversing a
street with a rear-loader, however, makes it possible to work with edges. Once an edge has
been crossed, no further service is required.
Exact solution methods can guarantee detection of the optimal solution. Dell’Amico,
Righini and Salani (2005) for instance, present an exact dynamic programming model in a
recyclable waste routing context Based on computational experience, however, they admit
that their dynamic programming model is impractical even for small size problem.

Synthesis
The researches presented gave emphasis on how participants cooperates on
sustainable solutions for solid waste management.This idea is evident in the present
study as the solutions for the connection of solid waste management was used to
determine its relation on segregation for solid waste management.
The related studies provided the focus and direction of the present research.
(Saat et. al.,2015) revealed in his study that the participants who practice solid waste
management in their area with their colleagues, friends and families improved
greatly their environment. Most of the studies noted earlier focus on the effects of
solid waste management on the performance of participants especially on how to
segregate solid waste.This study provided an overview pertaining to the relationship
of students cooperation through segregation which is the expected output of this
study.

RESEARCH METHODS
Research Design
The study is quantitative type of research. It will utilize a correlational
type of research design that involves two variables which aims to prove the
relationship between students’ cooperation and sustainable solutions for solid waste
management. According to Aliaga and Gunderson (2002), quantitative research is
an inquiry into to societal problems, explaining phenomena by gathering numerical
data that will be analyzed using mathematically based methods (e.g. in particular
statistics)
Participants of the Study and Sampling Technique
The respondents of the study will be composed of 276 students of
Callang National High School located in San Manuel, Isabela who are currently
enrolled in the school year 2018-2019. The researchers will use simple random
sampling technique by getting 12 students as respondents of the study of each class
in Junior High School, in order to obtain the relationship of the variables through
gathering necessary information.

The survey questionnaire is categorized into parts, namely the demographic
profile of the respondents,in the first part and the second part comes with sub-
sections such as familiarizing, solutions and insights, answered by the selected
respondents in Callang National High School. The first part would be composed of
personal profile of the respondents question and the second part would be
composed of rating scales questions which would be rated in relation to their use of
proper solid waste management during the course of the study. This would be
floated to gather information to ratify if there would be a significant relationship

Solutions for Solid Waste Management
Hypothesis: “There is a significant relationship between students’
cooperation on sustainable solutions for waste management.”
In other words the above hypothesis can be stated as, “ The solutions for
solid waste management will show positive correlation with the students’
cooperation obtained from the scores upon the use of research questionnaires.”

concious with the type of solution of waste management that is going to be
used, in the participation of the students.
Recommendation
In the light of conclusion made, based on the findings of the study, the
researchers recommends the following:
1. To improve the students’ participation in waste segregation, there must be a
regular evaluation or check-up of their dessignated area.
2. To the school, they should conduct campaign programs raising the awareness
of the teachers and students regarding solid waste management.
3. The school could increase the knowledge and awareness of the students about
issues surrounding waste by adapting the policies of another school through
various ways such like the students may keep on their bag their trashes and
only the leaves are the ones going to put on the trash bin.
4. Teachers must be the one to lead the proper waste segregation on the school to
motivate the students.
5. There shall also been formulated system of rules formed within the jurisdiction
of the school that contribute to the effectiveness of waste management which
the students who have authority shall implement with specific incentives as
motivation and punishments to those who will breach the implementing rules.
38
