CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

This chapter includes the introduction, conceptual framework, statement of the

problem, hypothesis/assumption of the study, scope and limitation of the study, significance

of the study, and definition of terms.

Introduction

Proper waste disposal is known as the removal and disposing of unwanted things or

materials known as waste. Waste disposal can be done in various forms like recycling,

discarding, and destroying unused materials that are not important at the campus of

Alhadeetha Mindanao College. Alhadeetha Mindanao College, like many educational

institutions, faces challenges in managing it’s waste. Improper waste disposal can harm the

environment, contaminating water sources, soil, and air, and negatively impact campus

health, leading to diseases and discomfort. Proper waste disposal practices are crucial for

maintaining a healthy environment and campus community.

Waste management is one of the most important environmental protection strategies

specially in mental health of the people inside the campus. By properly disposing of waste,

we can greatly reduce the number of harmful chemicals and pollutants that enter our water,

air, and soil. The main benefits of waste management are to reduce pollution, conserve

resources, and prevent damage to ecosystem. This not only protects human health but also

helps to preserve wildlife and habitats. (Kristy Sumich, 2022).

According to (US Law-Solid Waste Act 2, 2019). The term “solid waste” means any

garbage, refuse, or sludge from a waste treatment plant, water supply treatment plant, or air

pollution control facility and other discarded material, including solid, liquid, semisolid, or

contained gaseous material resulting from industrial, commercial, mining, and agricultural

operations. While the “disposal” means discharge, deposit, injection, dumping, spilling,
1
leaking, or placing, of any solid waste or hazardous waste into or on any land or water such

solid wastes, hazardous wastes, or any constituent there of may enter the environment or be

emitted into the air or discharge into any waters, including grounds waters, from community

activities.

Proper waste disposal not only protects the environment but also plays a direct role in

maintaining the health and well-being of the campus community. The study can reveal how

improper waste disposal practices may contribute to public health issues, such as the spread

of diseases, air and water pollution, and other health hazards. Identifying these risks and

implementing proper waste management can ensure a cleaner, healthier environment for

students, faculty, and staff. This study is crucial in highlighting how proper waste disposal

practices can significantly contribute to environmental sustainability. By examining waste

management techniques at Alhadeetha Mindanao College, the study provides valuable

insights into how effective waste segregation, recycling, and disposal practices can reduce

pollution, conserve resources, and minimize the ecological footprint of the campus.

The main purpose of this study is to persuade students not to toss rubbish anywhere

and dispose of it properly. Also, it will teach them how to recycle their waste properly, as well

as how throwing waste wherever would harm the ecosystem, including animals, plants, and

our entire planet. The goal of this study is to teach students how to distinguish between

biodegradable, non-biodegradable and recyclable garbage.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

Related Literature

The environmental consequences of improper waste disposal are severe and wide-

ranging, affecting land, water, and air quality. Effective waste management is vital for

minimizing these environmental risks. In educational institutions, waste generated by

students, faculty, and staff includes a variety of materials such as paper, plastic, organic

waste, and electronic waste (e-waste). These materials can have lasting negative effects if not

properly disposed of or recycled. Proper waste disposal practices significantly impact

environmental and campus health. Research by EPA (2020), IPCC (2013), and UNEP (2019)

8
highlights reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, prevention of water pollution, and

conservation of biodiversity.

Effective campus waste management promotes mental well-being, fosters positive

learning environments, and reduces exposure to toxic substances (WHO, 2018; Appelman et

al., 2016). Best practices include implementing recycling programs (WRAP, 2019; USEPA,

2020), reducing single-use plastics (USEPA, 2020; UNEP, 2019), and engaging stakeholders

in waste management (UNESCO, 2019; ISWA, 2019). However, research gaps remain in

assessing waste management policy effectiveness (Kaza et al., 2018), evaluating economic

benefits (Wilson et al., 2015), and developing innovative waste reduction technologies

(Kumar et al., 2017). If you want to reduce, reuse and recycle, then it would be better for you

to identify those wastes that can still be used from real garbage that needs to be thrown away.

Bad waste disposal in our kitchen can direct the waste straight into our plumbing

system, causing a bigger trouble for you and your family. If you want to keep your house free

form the bad smell of food waste and garbage, then it would be wise for you to have a proper

garbage disposal. Recycling newspapers, plastics, glass and aluminum also helps in saving

money. Recycling other materials such as tires, batteries, asphalt, motor oil, etc. reduces

pollution (otherwise these would end up in landfill or incinerator). In order to reduce trash, it

is necessary to encourage and implement recycling at all levels of society. If you want a clean

and healthy environment, then you have to constantly clean your area, and put some tools and

equipment’s like a garbage disposal to help you in keeping that area clean and free from

harmful bacteria. Municipalities can treat waste in the same way (Kumar et al., 2017).

Improper waste disposal leads to several environmental issues, including:

Soil Contamination: Hazardous waste materials, including chemicals from batteries, plastics,

and other non-biodegradable substances, can leach into the soil when improperly discarded.

This contamination can negatively affect plant life and groundwater sources, which may in

9
turn impact local agriculture or food supplies (Wang et al., 2019). Water Pollution: Waste that

ends up in rivers, lakes, or oceans often leads to water contamination. The accumulation of

plastic and chemical waste in water bodies poses a serious threat to aquatic life, disrupts

ecosystems, and endangers the quality of drinking water sources (Smith et al., 2018).

Educational institutions near water bodies may face additional challenges in preventing waste

from entering these ecosystems.

Air Pollution: When waste, especially plastics and synthetic materials, is burned, it

releases harmful gases and particulate matter into the air. This contributes to air pollution,

affecting not only the local environment but also public health. The toxic substances released

during burning can contribute to respiratory problems and increase the risk of long-term

diseases such as cancer (Singh et al., 2016).

Proper waste disposal is very important in making sure that your place and

environment is free from any waste that can cause health risks. Recycling is one of the best

way of waste management. It helps in reducing pollution, saving natural resources and

conserving energy. Recycling newspapers, plastics, glass and aluminum also helps in saving

money. Recycling other materials such as tires, batteries, asphalt, motor oil, etc reduces

pollution (otherwise these would end up in landfill). In order to reduce trash, it is necessary to

implement recycling at all levels of society. Proper waste disposal is very important in

making sure that your place and environment is free from any waste that can cause health

risks. If you want a clean and healthy environment, then you have to constantly clean your

area, and put some equipments like a garbage disposal to help you in keeping that area clean

and free from harmful bacteria.

The toxic substances released during burning can contribute to respiratory problems

and increase the risk of long-term diseases such as cancer (Singh et al., 2016). On campuses,

proper waste disposal reduces exposure to toxic substances (WHO, 2018), promotes mental

10
well-being (CDC, 2020), and fosters positive learning environments (Appelman et al., 2016).

Implementing recycling programs, reducing single-use plastics, and engaging students, staff,

and faculty in waste management efforts are recommended strategies (WRAP, 2019; USEPA,

2020). Effective waste segregation, composting, and anaerobic digestion are crucial for

minimizing waste’s environmental impact. However, research gaps remain in assessing waste

management policy effectiveness, evaluating economic benefits, and developing innovative

waste reduction technologies.

Proper waste disposal practices are essential for protecting the environment and

promoting campus health. By adopting sustainable waste management strategies, institutions

can contribute to a healthier environment and community, supporting the well-being of

students, staff, and the planet. Institutional organizations are more focused on sustainability

and effective management of waste disposal that cannot add to the emerging global issues but

help contribute to solve those issues. Disposal that cannot add to the emerging global issues

but to help contribute to solve those issues. Pacific Adventist University is not exceptional to

this concept. By carefully accessing the research by Dr. H. Handri Nawawi, a professor at the

department of Environmental engineering, and his findings on the article title “solid waste

management system in Tanjungpura University (Nawawi 2023).

Stated that the waste management applied in Tanjugpura University was an old waste

management paradigm (Nawawi, 2023). His research article findings shows that even though

they have waste disposal sites, the disposal management was not carried out carefully and as

a result has caused environmental problems within and around the campus. In addition, a

study by Danielle Smyth 2019, a master student at University of Guelpa and herarticle title

“Sustainability and Solid Waste Management in Higher Education”, describes a campus

waste characterization research project that identifies opportunities for enhancing waste

reduction, recycling and composting while improving the overall sustainability of a waste

11
management program at a small, research intensive and geographically isolated university in

Western Canada (Smyth, 2019).

According to Daniela Elena Popescu, Constantin Bungau, Mercela Prade and Cristian

Domuta they are from different science faculties, their article titled, “Waste management

strategy at the public University in smart city context” is also a research article that focuses

on how waste was collected, stored and recycled in the whole campus. The Findings show

that they designed a recycled management programs that include all university Residents to

be active participants in the recycling program (Bungau et al 2016). University Campuses

face a serious sustainability problem with waste generation. In the United States alone,

Universities generate around 1.5 million tons of garbage each year (Eighmy et al., 2016).

According to Abada et al. (2019), a significant amount of the waste stream is made up

of food waste, which accounts for 15–25% of all campus garbage. In addition to luring bugs,

leftover prepared food and post-consumer food waste produced by cafeterias and dining halls

release Methane when they break down in landfills (CalRecycle, 2020). The impact of proper

waste disposal practices on both the environment and public health is undeniable.

Educational institutions must take a leading role in promoting effective waste management

practices to protect both their immediate environment and the health of students, staff, and

the surrounding community. By adopting waste segregation, recycling, composting, and

waste reduction strategies, the college can contribute significantly to reducing its ecological

footprint and improving public health outcomes.

Proper waste segregation and recycling are widely recognized as effective strategies

to mitigate the environmental impact of waste. Perez & Medina, 2018 explain that separating

recyclable materials from non-recyclables reduces the volume of waste that ends up in

landfills. Educational institutions have an important role in promoting waste segregation

practices by providing clear guidelines and infrastructure, such as separate bins for plastics,
12
paper, and organic waste. Recycling programs not only reduce the environmental burden but

also promote resource conservation by reintroducing valuable materials back into production.

The promotion of recycling initiatives within schools can lead to a more sustainable use of

resources, ultimately benefiting the surrounding community (Taylor et al., 2019). The health

impacts of improper waste disposal are significant, affecting both direct and indirect health

outcomes.

Public health issues related to waste disposal range from the spread of infectious

diseases to long-term chronic conditions resulting from exposure to hazardous waste

materials.

In addition to physical health concerns, improper waste disposal also affects mental health.

Research shows that exposure to poor waste management practices, such as visible piles of

garbage or unpleasant smells, can lead to feelings of anxiety, stress, and even depression.

Living or working in a cluttered, polluted environment can reduce overall well-being and

impact productivity and cognitive function. (Garcia et al., 2021) note that people living in

areas with inadequate waste management often experience lower quality of life due to the

negative psychological effects on environmental institution. In addition to physical health

concerns, improper waste disposal also affects mental health.

Research shows that exposure to poor waste management practices, such as visible

piles of garbage or unpleasant smells, can lead to feelings of anxiety, stress, and even

depression. Living or working in a cluttered, polluted environment can reduce overall well-

being and impact productivity and cognitive function. (Garcia et al., 2021) note that people

living in areas with inadequate waste management often experience lower quality of life due

to the negative psychological effects of environmental pollution. According to julie

boehike(2017), tossing everyday items into the trash can seems like seconds nature to many

people. If you are implementing recycling techniques into your lifestyle, you are taking a

13
positive step toward helping the environment. Improper garbage disposal is not just an

eyesore, it poses a serious threat to nature that causes calamities in country.

Our mission is to give information to the people for them to be able to learn how to

segregate their own waste from their garbage bin or trash can. To contribute a sustainable

development and promote community awareness to achieve the goals. Our vision is to be able

to uplift the cleanliness and orderliness of our environment. To create a protection and

sustainability of the environmental and natural resources as well as to enlarged to chance of

having a well organized community. And to improve the quality of life Julie Boehike (2017).

Waste management on school campuses is a growing concern as educational

institutions are becoming more aware of their environmental footprint. The shift towards

more sustainable waste management practices in schools has been a key area of research.

Various strategies have been explored, from waste reduction at the source to promoting

recycling, and even integrating waste management into the curriculum to raise awareness

among students. Patel and Chauhan (2020) discuss how circular economy strategies can be

applied within school environments to promote waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. For

example, schools can implement waste segregation programs, where students and staff

separate organic waste, recyclables, and non-recyclables. This practice not only reduces

landfill waste but also encourages students to engage in sustainable practices.

 Technology is also playing a pivotal role in campus waste management. Beigl and

Mühle (2019) the increasing adoption of smart waste management systems in educational

institutions, including sensor-based waste bins that monitor fill levels and optimize collection

schedules. These systems help reduce the overall waste management costs for schools while

improving operational efficiency. Smart technologies can also play a role in waste tracking,

enabling schools to monitor their waste patterns and identify areas for improvement. Another

important aspect in campus waste management is student involvement and education.

Schools are increasingly integrating waste management into their curricula and organizing

waste-reduction campaigns, as this has been shown to significantly increase student

awareness and participation.

schools: Benefits and challenges. Waste Management & Research, 37(4), 327-335.

Waste management programs in schools have become essential to promoting

environmental sustainability and educating students about the importance of waste reduction.

This study explores the implementation of recycling programs within schools, focusing on

the benefits and challenges faced by educational institutions. Recycling programs within

schools have become essential not only for managing waste but also for fostering

environmental awareness and responsibility among students. These efforts often extend

beyond the campus, as students who are educated in proper waste management practices are

likely to apply those habits in their homes and communities, creating a ripple effect of

environmental consciousness. In many schools, there is a shortage of clearly marked and

accessible recycling bins for the different categories of waste, such as paper, plastics, and

organic materials.

15
 Chauhan and Joshi (2018) explore the effectiveness of educational campaigns on

waste segregation in schools in India. The study examines various campaigns aimed at

teaching students how to separate organic and recyclable waste. The researchers found that

while initial participation was low, sustained educational efforts and hands-on activities, such

as waste segregation workshops and competitions, significantly increased student

engagement. The study emphasizes that educating students at an early age about the

importance of waste segregation can lead to long-term changes in behavior, both at school

and at home. The researcher recommend that school administrators focus on making waste

management a part of the school's cultural fabric by integrating it into everyday practices.

Kamaruddin, M. I., & Ishak, S. (2020). A study on waste management practices in

school campuses in Malaysia. Journal of Environmental Management, 255, 109979.

According to Kamaruddin and Ishak (2020) the waste management practices adopted

by schools in Malaysia and identify several areas for improvement. In many Malaysian

schools, waste disposal systems are inadequate, with a lack of clear waste segregation

protocols leading to mixed waste being discarded into a single bin. This practice not only

hampers recycling efforts but also poses a challenge in terms of environmental sustainability.

This study reveals that while many schools have implemented basic waste management

infrastructure, such as waste bins in classrooms and cafeterias, there is a significant gap in

terms of providing separate bins for organic waste, plastics, paper, and other recyclable

materials. The research proposes the establishment of waste segregation protocols that clearly

distinguish between different categories of waste.

By doing so, schools can significantly reduce the volume of waste sent to landfills and

enhance the recycling process. Infrastructural changes, the study highlights the importance of

educating students and staff on proper waste disposal methods. Regular training sessions and

interactive workshops should be conducted to ensure that both students and staff understand

16
the importance of waste segregation and the long-term environmental impact of improper

waste disposal.

Sathya and Sundararajan (2022) provide a detailed analysis of the challenges faced

by educational institutions in promoting proper waste disposal and offer solutions to

overcome these obstacles. One of the major challenges identified is the insufficient

infrastructure for waste segregation, such as the lack of dedicated bins for different types of

waste (e.g., organic, plastic, paper). This study emphasize that an effective waste

management system in schools requires a multifaceted approach that includes not only

adequate waste bins but also continuous education and awareness-building efforts. Schools

should integrate waste management practices into the curriculum, making sustainability a

central theme of environmental studies. Interactive activities, such as waste audits, can help

students and staff assess the effectiveness of current waste management systems and suggest

improvements

Singh, A., & Sharma, K. (2019). Improving waste disposal in schools: A review of

best practices and strategies. Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 26(15), 15056-

15068.

Singh and Sharma (2019) review the best practices and strategies for improving waste

disposal in schools, with a particular focus on the health impacts of improper waste disposal.

The review identifies that schools often struggle with poor waste management systems,

which result in health hazards such as the spread of infectious diseases, respiratory issues,

and exposure to harmful chemicals from improperly disposed of hazardous waste. In

particular, the lack of waste segregation creates an environment in which organic waste, such

17
as food scraps, rots and attracts disease-carrying pests like rodents and insects. The review

stresses the importance of implementing clear waste segregation systems, where organic,

recyclable, and non-recyclable waste are separated at the source. Schools that adopt these

practices not only improve waste management but also reduce the risks of disease

transmission.

The review emphasizes the necessity of regular education and awareness programs

that inform students about the health risks of improper waste disposal and teach them about

hygienic practices. Furthermore, schools should monitor waste management efforts through

regular audits to ensure compliance and continuous improvement. By creating a culture of

waste management awareness, schools can reduce the health risks associated with improper

waste disposal and ensure a cleaner, healthier environment for students and staff.

Zhang, Y., Wang, L., & Li, Y. (2016). The role of urban waste management in

sustainable development: A review and future prospects. Waste Management, 56, 341-354.

Zhang, Wang, and Li (2016) review the benefits of proper waste management in

urban settings, with a focus on schools. Proper waste disposal in schools has a direct positive

impact on public health by minimizing exposure to harmful waste-related pathogens and

reducing environmental pollution. When schools properly segregate waste and recycle

materials, they decrease the amount of organic waste that decomposes in open environments,

which prevents the spread of disease-causing bacteria and viruses. The study emphasizes that

waste management practices, such as composting, also contribute to improved air quality by

reducing the release of methane, a harmful gas produced during the decomposition of organic

materials in landfills.

Waste management programs that focus on reducing plastic waste and promoting that

focus on reducing plastic waste and promoting the use of environmentally friendly products

reduce the long-term environmental impact on health. The review suggests that a holistic

18
approach to waste management, which involves both proper disposal techniques and

educational initiatives, is key to promoting a healthy school environment and ensuring the

well-being of students and staff.

Agarwal, A., & Kumar, P. (2020). Impact of effective waste management on public

health in schools: A case study from Delhi, India. Environmental Science & Policy, 112, 20-

29.

Agarwal and Kumar (2020) investigate the significant health benefits derived from

implementing effective waste management systems in school environments, with a case study

focusing on Delhi, India. The study examines how well-organized waste segregation,

recycling, and the disposal of hazardous and organic waste reduce the health risks associated

with improper waste disposal. Improperly managed waste in schools, particularly organic

waste, contributes to the proliferation of harmful bacteria and viruses, which can lead to

gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory infections, and skin conditions. The research found that

schools that implemented effective waste segregation and management practices witnessed a

substantial reduction in the occurrence of such health issues.

The highlights that separating organic waste from other types of waste and ensuring

its timely disposal prevents the decay and rotting of food waste, which is a breeding ground

for pathogens. Furthermore, the study found that schools that incorporated composting of

organic waste not only mitigated health risks but also provided environmental and

educational benefits, such as teaching students about sustainability and the importance of

reducing waste. Another significant finding of the study was that clean, waste-free school

environments led to improved student attendance and concentration, as the reduction in odors

and pests created a more comfortable and hygienic space for learning. The research advocates

for ongoing waste management education programs in schools, as well as regular audits of

waste practices, to ensure the health benefits of proper waste disposal are sustained.

Tiwari and Patel (2019) examine the relationship between environmental health,

specifically waste management, and academic performance in Indian schools. The study

focuses on the direct and indirect effects of proper waste disposal on students' concentration,

well-being, and overall academic achievement. Through reduced absenteeism, enhanced

cognitive function, and improved focus, students in schools with effective waste management

systems experience an overall 15% improvement in academic performance. It highlights that

poor waste management in schools leads to unhygienic conditions, which can have negative

consequences on students' health, such as increased incidences of infections, allergies, and

respiratory issues. These health problems often result in frequent school absenteeism and

reduced cognitive function, which in turn affect academic performance.

The researchers observed that schools with effective waste management systems,

which included proper segregation, timely disposal of waste, and regular cleaning of school

premises, had significantly lower rates of illness among students. Healthier students were

found to exhibit better attendance and focus in class, leading to improved academic

performance. The study also found that students in schools with organized waste management

systems were more likely to engage in environmental sustainability practices, such as

recycling and waste reduction, which contributed to a positive school culture and a sense of

responsibility.

20
 Educational institutions, particularly schools and universities, play an important role

in fostering sustainable waste management practices. Prakash and Pandey (2021) examine the

potential for schools and universities to implement waste management strategies that promote

sustainability among students, faculty, and staff. The study provides a case study of several

educational institutions that have successfully integrated waste management practices such as

waste segregation, recycling, and composting into their daily operations. The researcher

discuss the importance of creating a waste-conscious culture within educational institutions,

where students are actively involved in waste reduction efforts, from separating recyclables to

participating in composting programs.

One of the key strategies highlighted is the integration of waste management topics

into the curriculum, which helps raise awareness about the environmental impacts of waste

and encourages students to adopt sustainable behaviors. The study also emphasizes the role of

campus-wide initiatives, such as zero-waste programs, to reduce overall waste generation and

promote sustainability on campus. Prakash and Pandey argue that educational institutions can

serve as models for other sectors, demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of sustainable

waste management practices and educating the next generation of environmentally conscious

citizens.

Recycling programs within schools have become essential not only for managing

waste but also for fostering environmental awareness and responsibility among students.

These programs provide educational opportunities for students to engage directly with

sustainability efforts, reducing the amount of waste that is sent to landfills and promoting a

more circular approach to resource management. Schools that successfully implement

recycling initiatives witness a decrease in their overall waste (Prakash and Pandey et al.,

2021).

Analysis of Data

Researchers gathered the data using the survey method. The study used a qualitative

method.

Conversely, the survey comprised a qualitative approach to the research, since it was

centered around the respondent’s particular ideas, descriptions, personal perspectives, and

observations. Our respondents were given the following broad specific statements in the

survey:

1. What is the benefit of having proper waste disposal inside the campus?

We found out through our survey that proper waste disposal on campus offers two key

benefits, environmental protection and improved health. Effective waste management reduces

pollution, prevents contamination, and keeps the campus clean. Proper disposal of hazardous

materials protects soil, water, and air. Good waste practices also promote hygiene and reduce

the risk of disease, benefiting both the environment and public health.

2. To achieve proper waste disposal, how can you implement it?

31
 We found out through our survey that respondents suggested two key strategies for

better waste disposal. starting a recycling program with bins for paper, plastic, and metal, and

implementing waste sorting with clearly labeled bins for recyclables, organic waste, and

trash. These measures would encourage recycling, reduce landfill waste, and promote

efficient, eco-friendly disposal.

CHAPTER V

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary of findings

This chapter includes the summary of findings, conclusions, and recommendations

related to the study conducted entitled: “Evaluating the Impact of Proper Waste Disposal

Practices on Environmental and Campus Health at Alhadeetha Mindanao College for School

Year 2024-2025”. To get the final results of this study, the researchers summarized the

interpretation made and gathered.

As observed in the first table that relates to specific problem number one (1) on the

benefit of having proper waste disposal inside the campus, it shows that the majority of the

(30) respondents answered yes that environmental protection and health hygiene safety was

one of the benefits of having proper waste disposal inside the campus.

32
 As observed in the second table that relates to specific problem number two (2) on

how to achieve proper waste disposal by implementing it, it shows that the majority of (30)

respondents answered yes that recycling program, waste sorting and segregation are the best

way to achieve proper waste and implement.

Conclusion

As had been demonstrated in this study, it was concluded that Evaluating the Impact

of Proper Waste Disposal Practices on Environmental and Campus Health at Alhadeetha

Mindanao College are important because it shows how proper waste disposal can make a big

difference in keeping the campus clean and healthy. By looking at how waste management

practices affect the environment at Alhadeetha Mindanao College. By highlighting the

positive effects of good waste management practices, the study encourages better habits

among students, faculty, and staff, leading to a cleaner and healthier campus.

The study shows that proper waste disposal practices have a significant impact on

both the environment and campus health. Some students are actively follow waste

33
management guidelines, leading to a cleaner and safer environment, while others may not

fully engage with these practices. To ensure continued improvement, it is important for

everyone to be more mindful of their waste disposal habits. By focusing on proper waste

segregation, recycling, and other sustainable practices, the campus can foster a healthier

environment and reduce pollution, benefiting both the community and the surroundings.

Finally, proper waste disposal practices should be prioritized by all members of the

school to ensure a cleaner and healthier environment. Although it can be difficult to change

old habits, this study highlights the importance of raising awareness about the environmental

and health benefits of responsible waste management. Students, faculty, and staff must work

together to adopt and maintain practices like recycling and waste segregation. By doing so,

they can contribute to a more sustainable campus and create a positive impact on both the

environment and the well-being of the people inside the campus.

Recommendations

Specifically, based on the outcome of the research conducted, this study is

recommended especially to the students, teachers, parents, and school administration and also

to future researchers to know the results of Evaluating the Impact of Proper Waste Disposal

Practices on Environmental and Campus Health at Alhadeetha Mindanao College.

• The school administration should establish clear waste management policies.

• Teachers and staff should actively promote awareness and responsibility.

• Campus should provide more waste disposal stations.

34
 Students should actively participate in proper waste disposal practices, minimizing

waste and following guidelines for recycling and waste segregation to help maintain a cleaner

and healthier campus.

Future researchers should continue to explore the impact of waste disposal practices

on campus health and environmental sustainability, expanding knowledge on how proper

waste management can contribute to a better quality of life on educational campuses.
