High school graduates make up most respondents, accounting for 56% of those interviewed.

A problem with resident behavior was found, as well as a lack of awareness among people about the impact of solid waste disposal management practices on their health and the environment. The study also discovered that burning collected solid waste is the least common negative solid waste management strategy. In terms of implementation, the Barangay Officials face challenges in strictly enforcing rules governing solid waste disposal. Based on the findings, it was advised that the Barangay Officials implement the researchers' proposed initiative, the “Basura Mo, Palitan Ko”Program. This idea aims to exchange usable household commodities for recyclable items or solid garbage that residents will collect and exchange.
