520 _aABSTRACT: With the fast and changing economic growth and lack of space that accompany rapid urbanization not to mention the lack of funds and support from the goverment, the inefficient garbage collection, and the lack of initiative from the people themselves, comes the deterioration of the environment due to escalating generation of solid waste. Solid waste management cannot be understimated. Though there are many goverment programs that address the overwhelming problem on solid waste, such problem still prevails. A descriptive study, which aimed to assess how much of these programs were known, understood, and practiced by Filipino households, was conducted at Sitio Lilac, Fairview, Quezon City. With a total of 300 households, 150 were included in the study by simple random sampling. Fixed alternative reply type questioning method was used. These consisted of questions designed at detrmining the awareness and current waste management practices of the sampled households. In conclusion, 127 (84.67%) respondents were aware of the Solid Waste Management Program and about 92 (72.44%) of them segregate their waste. Moderately aware respondents were comprised of 17 (11.33%) households, with only 10 (58.82%) doing segregation. On the other hand, 6 (4%) of the total number of respondents were unaware of the said program with I (16.67%) practicing segregation. Form the sum of 103 house holds who do segregation, 53% practice recycling, 11% do composting, 23% practice both recycling and composting, and 13% segregate but do not practice recycling nor composting. For those households who do not segregate, their disposal practices consist mainly of burning and giving to garbage collectors. Majority of their reasons for not complying with the Solid Waste Management Program include the lack of budget for additional containers and lack of time.
