Abstract

The study examined the extent of implementation of solid waste management awareness and practices. It focused on the 114 teaching and non-teaching personnel from 11 different Primary and Elementary Schools in the School Year 2024-2025 of Poonapiagapo District, Division of Lanao del Norte. It employed descriptive - correlational method of design. The study aimed to identify the extent of awareness and implementation practices in terms of segregation, reduction, reuse, recycling, and disposal of teaching and non-teaching personnel. The findings revealed that respondents demonstrated a thorough understanding of Solid Waste Management Practices in terms of segregation, reduction, reuse, recycling, and disposal of waste. However, there was a significant gap in terms of its implementation practices. The findings revealed a predominantly early-to-mid-career female teaching population with strong waste segregation understanding, although improvements were needed in reuse, recycling, and advanced disposal. Awareness, significantly influenced by demographic factors like age and tenure, was key to successful waste management practice implementation. While certain demographics impact implementation, a high level of institutional commitment to waste management was evident. An action plan was designed as the output of the study.
