CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study

Solid waste comes in different forms such as plastic garbage. These
are waste that cannot be easily thrown since it is non-biodegradable or solid.
This waste can cause environmental problems such as unpleasant
contaminants and toxins to air, water, and land most probably inside the
school grounds. According to State of Play (2018), an organization focusing
on waste management, students and adults learn about protecting the
environment and possibly transfer the same waste-reduction techniques to
their own homes. Students also gain access to opportunities to participate in
service-based community events. For example, students might decide to
begin waste reduction drives in their community. Reducing plastic waste in
schools decreases the cost of waste removal and energy consumption.
However, people do not know the importance of segregati6on and as a
consequence, there are a lot of problems concerning waste disposal and
segregation. But the fact is solid waste has become a tenacious issue
worldwide, it has been increasing exponentially due to urbanization and the
increase of population (Gupta, 2023). In India, solid waste management is
one of the most significant problems that is dealt with. Indian population has
grown increasingly to over 1.2 billion. This population growth has seen an
increasingly larger population concentration in urban areas due to the
availability of more employment sources (Kenekar, 2018). Urban India
generates millions of tons of waste collected annually, and it has been waste
management is such a

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter is a discussion of the literature and the result of other
related research to which the present study is related or has some bearing or
similarity. This gave the author enough background to understand the study.
The Level Effectiveness of Solid Waste Separation
According to Ezeudu (2021), waste segregation is the sorting and
separation of waste types to facilitate recycling and correct onward disposal.
Waste segregation is an ideal way to diminish the impact of landfills on the
amount environment as well as health issues that can result from improperly
disposed of wastes and toxins. Sorting waste makes it easier to understand
how to reduce general waste output, identify items that can be reduced, and
set aside items that should be recycled.
However, poor solid waste management is among the major
challenges in developing countries (Mendoza,2022). Ranging from non-
existing collection systems to ineffective disposal causes air pollution, and
water and soil contamination. Open and unsanitary landfills contribute to the
contamination of drinking water and can cause infection and transmit disease.
Moreover, improper solid waste dumpsites pose a major risk to both human
health and the environment (Mohamed,2023).
To add more, solid-state segregation plays a vital role in reducing and
recycling as it enables recycling raw materials and reducing the amount of
waste sent to landfills or incinerators, which helps mitigate environmental
impact and especially minimize environmental pollution. Furthermore, an

METHODOLOGY
Presented in this chapter were the discussions on the research design,
the research locale, the population and sample, the research instrument, the
data collection, the statistical tools, and the ethical consultations.
Research Design
The study used the descriptive correlational method as the research
design. According to Bhat (2023), Descriptive correlational research is a type
of research design that tries to explain the relationship between two or more
variables without making any claims about cause and effect. It includes
collecting and analyzing data on at least two variables to see if there is a link
between them. The researchers also chose a questionnaire to assess the
level of effectiveness of solid waste separation and analytics for the reduction
of solid waste. This research aimed to describe the effectiveness of solid
waste separation and the reduction of solid-state in Marber National High
School in Bansalan Davao Del Sur.
Research Locale
The study was conducted in Bansalan Davao del Sur, Region XI,
Philippines. It was conducted at Marber National High School. It is located at
Barangay Marber Bansalan Davao del Sur.

CHAPTER IV
RESULT AND DISCUSSION
This chapter discusses the statistical data gathered by the
researchers related to the assessment of the student’s level of awareness of
solid waste management and waste reduction at Marber National High
School. This chapter consists of a Tubular presentation of data, interpretation,
and review of related literature support of the data. Based on the
corresponding results, the tables were appropriately interpreted. The
researchers identified the demographic profile of the participants, the level of
student awareness, and the relationship between the two variables using
specific statistical tools.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter discusses the summary, conclusions, and
recommendations of this study. This chapter discusses the findings and
results of the researchers to determine the significance of students' level of
awareness of solid waste management and solid waste reduction based on
the data that has been gathered.
5.1 SUMMARY
1. It clearly showed that the 15-16 years old has the highest total
number of participants. The highest age based on the study we gathered was
20 -19 years old followed by 18-17 and so on, it showed that 15-16 years old
have the highest and 19-20 years old have the lowest. This age demographic
showed that 15-16-year-olds had a large number of participants who
answered the study that we conducted.
2. It showed that the female gender contributed a large fraction of
having the highest participant who answered our survey questionnaire,
therefore the male gender contributed the least fraction of the participants.
The result showed that the female gender got the highest total and the male
had the lowest.
3. It showed that the strand of Grade 11 Students who got the highest
number of participants and with the highest contribution is the Humanities and
Social Sciences (Humss) for having 43 participants and the highest total
numerical value, and the TVL with the participants of 35, then the GAS
students has the 20 participants.

Assessing the Students Level of Awareness of
Solid Waste Management and Solid Waste
Reduction in Marber National High School
