Abstract

This study examines the biodegradable waste management practices of selected schools in Negros Oriental, focusing on awareness, infrastructure, and community involvement. Findings reveal that effective waste segregation, composting initiatives, and structured monitoring systems play a crucial role in sustainability efforts. Schools face challenges such as inconsistent compliance and resource limitations, but strategic interventions—such as enhanced training programs, improved facilities, and policy reinforcement—significantly improve waste management efficiency. The study highlights the need for continuous education, parental involvement, and technological integration to ensure long-term environmental responsibility. These insights provide actionable recommendations for strengthening biodegradable waste management in educational institutions.
