CHAPTER 1: PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction: Solid waste management is an emergent concern. Based on studies made by the National Solid Waste Management Commission-Secretariat based at the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), there is a daily estimated 0.5 kilogram per capita waste generation in Metro Manila alone. With an estimated population of 10.5 million, the total waste generation in Metro Manila alone could run up to 1.95 million metric tons per year. Of this magnitude of generated waste, only 73% are collected daily by dump trucks, with the remaining 27% ending up in canals, rivers, or any other space where garbage could possibly be dumped into (Medrano, L.R., 2005). With this huge numbers on hand, a paradigm shift on waste management and disposal is not an option anymore; but a major necessity. Research done by Medrano is dated way back 2005. Technology has evolved humongous over a decade and two. Given with a full assurance, the other face of modernity and industrialization has considerably taking its big steps also; the wastes. Units of the society has been collectively Background of the Study: Waste can be, a something, that is damaged, defective, or superfluous material produced by a manufacturing process (MerriamWebster Dictionary, 2017). According also to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, waste can also be a material rejected during a textile manufacturing; processed and used usually for wiping away dirt and oil; it also refers to refuse from places of human or animal habitation.

Solid waste is one of the most manageable type of waste. It was made right after assumption; and segregating it is an easy task. However, behavior on waste disposal has been a problem in Bulihan Integrated Senior High School students. In this research, the researchers will determine the pre-existing solid waste management program being regulated in the said school and checking on better tweaks on how to somehow improve or modify it. Solid waste management has been implemented in schools since time in memoriam as part of the old government program “War on Waste”. Currently, solid waste program is focused on waste segregation as its primary behavior principle. More usual on offices, schools and other establishments, solid waste management in considering putting up recycle bins.

Statement of the Problem:

Scope and Delimitations:

Significance of the Study: Waste is not something that should be discarded or disposed of with no regard for future use. It can be a valuable resource if addressed correctly, through policy and practice with rational and consistent waste management practices there is an opportunity to reap a range of benefits. This research study is conducted in order for the researchers contribute to maintain cleanliness and healthy-living environment for the proper segregation of waste in school especially in Bulihan Integrated Senior High School that has a problem with a proper segregation of waste in this past years. It is expected to benefit on the following: 



Students-this research study will also contribute an ide to young minds and it will also motivate the students to explore and contribute in developing proper segregation of waste in school. Future Researchers-this Senior High School students’ thesis could serve as a reference to those who will be interested to continue or conduct further research regarding the topic.





Utility workers-this study will also be a big benefit for the utility workers for it will bring ease in their daily work. Bulihan Integrated Senior High School Department-regulated and proper solid waste management will put the BISHS Department in a properly waste sgregated establishment.
