waste management challenges faced by the school, and the development of

recommendations for improving the waste management process. The goal of this concept
paper is to provide a comprehensive and effective solution to the waste management issues
in Dr. Maria D. Pastrana National High School and to promote a more sustainable and
cleaner school environment.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The issue of waste management has become a critical concern in recent years, particularly in
schools. With the increasing population and the ever-growing consumption of goods, the
amount of waste generated has also increased significantly. Dr. Maria D. Pastrana National
High School is not an exception to this situation. As such, there is a pressing need to address
the waste management problems in this school to promote a cleaner and healthier
environment for the students, faculty, and staff.

The collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal of waste materials fall within the
complex, multidisciplinary field of waste management. Waste management in schools
necessitates an all-encompassing strategy that includes administration, instructors, and
students. Establishing effective waste management procedures at schools can help decrease
waste production, conserve natural resources, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and make the
environment safer and more sustainable.

This concept paper's goal is to investigate the necessity of establishing appropriate waste
management procedures at Dr. Maria D. Pastrana National High School. The paper will look
at the school's current waste management procedures, pinpoint the difficulties and barriers
to efficient waste management, and make suggestions for how to make improvements.

The study of developing proper waste management in Dr. Maria D. Pastrana National High
School is important because it will provide a framework for addressing the waste
management problems in the school, promote environmental awareness among the
students, and contribute to the development of sustainable waste management practices in
the school. The findings of this study will also serve as a basis for future research in this field,
providing valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of waste management in
schools.

SIGNIFICANCE

The proper management of waste is an important issue in the society today. It helps in
reducing the negative impacts of waste on the environment and human health. In the
school setting, proper waste management is crucial in maintaining a clean and safe
environment for the students and staff.

Moreover, the implementation of proper waste management in the school can raise
awareness among the students and staff about the importance of reducing, reusing and
