Abstract
Barangay Dela Paz, the community where Dela Paz Main Elementary School is situated, is a flooded area due to improper waste disposal. Poor solid waste management will lead to various problems in health, the environment, and socio-economic aspects. Since, educational institutions and agents change and through Republic Act 9003, otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. Waste management is managing waste by disposal and recycling it, which utilizes environmentally sound methods that maximize the utilization of valuable resources and encourage resource conservation and recovery. In this study, a descriptive–quantitative approach was utilized using the researcher-made instrument. A total of 366 Grade 3 pupils participated in the study from Dela Paz Main Elementary School of which 33 are Narra, 34 are Mahogany, 34 are Molave, 34 are Yakal, 33 are Ipil-ipil, 34 are Pinetree, 32 are Golden Shower, 34 are Cabllero, 33 are Acacia, 32 are Kamagong and 34 are Apitong pupils. However, grade 3 pupils have low knowledge of the different laws relevant to solid waste management, television or radio, parents, and social media are the sources of this awareness. This is where Project E-PERASAFE (Enhance - Partners Engagement in bringing Recycled Materials Amidst pandemic in Schools Advocacy on Flood and other disasters in the Environment) transpires. The result shows that pupils have enough knowledge in terms of the definition of solid waste, the effect of improper solid waste disposal, solid waste prohibited activities, school initiatives towards solid waste, the importance of solid waste management, learners and stakeholders responsibilities in bringing recycled materials in school. The outcome also demonstrates that learners follow appropriate solid waste management procedures when it comes to segregation, reduction, reuse, recycling, and disposal. Crucially, though, is the communitys or stakeholders active participation in school projects by providing recycled materials. The most common metric by determine the percentage rate of participation of stakeholders during the period of implementation. It was once utilized to support the schools beautifying efforts and the creation of innovative materials for workplace safety. Additionally, it helps the grade 3 teachers to inspire the stakeholders to actively engage in the school project and provide support during its implementation.
