SUMMARY
Solid waste management In technical note, the term „solid waste‟ is used to include all non-liquid non-liquid wastes generated by human activity and a range of solid waste material resulting from the disaster, such as general domestic garbage such as food waste, ash and packaging materials; human feces disposed of in garbage; emergency waste such as plastic water bo ttles and packaging from other emergency supplies; rubble resulting from the disaster. Other specialist wastes, such as medical waste from hospitals and toxic waste from industry, will also need to be dealt with urgently. (World Health Organization, 2011). Introduction
One‟s problem is everyone‟s problem. Waste is everyone‟s business. We all produce waste in our daily doing like water waste and solid waste. So in this study stud y we will focus on the solid waste. As we continue reading this paper pape r we will know the different ways of handling solid waste. We will also know the programs that should be implemented in every barangay. Statement of the Problem
This paper focuses on delivering the issue on the students regarding solid waste management. Specifically this study seek to answer the following questions: 1. What are the learning of the th e students regarding solid waste management? 2. What are the reactions of the students regarding the solid waste management? 3. Do they really listen in the advocacy campaign time?
Scope and Limitation
This advocacy campaign focuses on the on delivering the message on solid waste management the consequences that they will encounter if they continue throwing garbage anywhere, the effects of proper and improper solid waste waste management and the 3R‟s. The venue is in General Santos City National High School. We advocate on 4 sections only namely, I-Archimedes, II-Aristotle, II-Mendel and III-Narra. Significance of the Study
To the school, it helps them to maintain the cleanliness of the school through the advocacy that we made. To the teachers, it would help he lp them to lessen their job as teacher to tell the students regarding the solid waste management.

RELATED LITERATURE Solid waste management
The Municipal Council enacted an ordinance establishing solid waste management also known as “Perkash Fashura Ordinance Na Isadanga.”The ordinance prohibits dumping of garbage anywhere other than those recognized and established garbage facilities; dumping of unclean and unsegregated waste at the redemption center/facility; discharging of human feces
along the creeks and rivers; throwing of wastes in creeks, rivers, public places such as roads, sidewalks and establishments; and burning of garbage particularly non-biodegradable wastes. It also requires residents to practice segregation of wastes at source. The lo cal government is responsible for collecting reusable, recyclable and non-biodegradable waste materials from the material recovery facilities; and transporting them to the recycling centers and or to the municipal material recovery facility. Collection of segregated solid wastes is scheduled per barangay (Saley, 2012). 3R’s (Reduce Reuse Recycle)
The Environmental Protection Agency has determined a three tiered approach for managing solid waste. Each of these should be practiced to reduce the amount material headed for final disposal. They are in order of importance: REDUCE, the best way to manage solid waste is buy only what you need. Avoid heavily packaged products. Avoid disposable items like paper plates and plastic silverware. REUSE, the b etter way to manage solid waste. Reuse items use them over and over until they are completely worn out. RECYCLE, the good way to manage solid waste, Recycle means taking someth ing old and making it into something new. (Seminole County Government, 2012). RELATED STUDIES Foreign studies
A detailed investigation was made regarding the methods of practices associated with sources, quantity generated, collection, transportation, storage, treatment and disposal of Municipal solid waste in Mysore City. The data concerning to SWM in Mysore was obtained through questionnaire, individual field visit, interacting with people and aut hentic record of municipal corporation. Photographic evidences were also made about generation, storage,
collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of MSW. This study reveals that the present system of MSWM in Mysore City is not satisfactory based on Municipal S olid Waste Management & Handling Rules 2000 (Chandra, et al., 2009). Local studies
The experiences and practices of household waste management of people in a barangay (village) in Manila, Philippines are documented. The d ata were gathered through an interview with household members using open-ended questions. Interviews were also conducted with garbage collectors as well as scavengers. Results showed that the households generated an average of 3.2 kg of solid waste per day, or 0.50 kg/capita/day. It is worth noting, however, that burning of waste is not done by the respondents. The households rely rel y on garbage collection by the government. Collection is done twice daily, except Sundays, and household members bring their garbage when the garbage truck arrives. However, there are those who dump their garbage in non-designated pick-up points, usually in a corner of the street. The dumped garbage becomes a breeding ground for disease-causing organisms. Some household respondents said that it is possible that the dumping in certain areas caused the dengue fever suffered by some of their family members. The results of the study showed that RA 9003, also known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, is not fully implemented in Metro Manila (Bernardo, 2008). METHODOLOGY
This chapter is consists of the procedure of the advocacy. It gives details of the progressive development in step-by-step manner. We are assigned in General Santos City National High Sch ool to campaign our advocacy advoc acy about Solid Waste Management. And we are also told to choose four (4) different sections for
the campaign. At exactly 8:00 in the morning, we are all gathered at the entrance gate of the said school. We chose three (3) sections in Engineering and Science Education Program which are the I-Archimedes, II-Mendel and II-Aristotle. And one (1) section in the Basic Ed ucation Curriculum which is the III-Narra. We introduce our advocacy by first letting them understand what solid waste management really is. And then we cited disasters that are c aused by improper waste management. The effects and consequences are also discussed. We also got a chance to share to them the importance of solid waste management. And to fully get their attention we actually shared a situation wherein three students were punished by just not throwing their candy wrapper in the trash can. We end our campaign by b y letting them ask themselves if they want our socie ty be change for the better. And encourage them to be the change they want to be. Results and Discussion
Solid Waste Management (SWM) is important in daily activities especially that we are dealing a lot of waste every da y, in streets, markets, schools and even in our houses. In having this advocacy with the students in General Santos City High School, the students as well as the researchers open up their minds on how h ow waste affect the community, school and even in our country. Based on the advocacy advocac y campaign of the researchers, the following results and discussion are as follows:
The students learn new concepts about Solid Waste Management
