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.

Background of the Study:
Waste can be, a something, that is damaged, defective, or
superfluous material produced by a manufacturing process (Merriam-
Webster 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.
