Abstract: One of today’s urgent global issues involves the rise in solid waste resulting from a growing population, leading to environmental degradation. In light of this concern, the research aimed to determine the problems encountered in implementing the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (R. A. 9003) at Narvacan National Central High School, using a Qualitative-Descriptive research method. encompassed a diverse group within the school community, namely students, janitors, parents, teachers and school heads. A total of 30 key informants were included. Interviews were conducted using an interview guide questionnaire to collect data. Content analysis was employed to organize and elicit meanings from the collected data. The results indicated that the school faces various problems in implementing the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (R.A. 9003), including a lack of knowledge and awareness, lack of discipline, supervision deficiency, limited funding and resource allocation, deficient community modeling, lack of coordination and insufficient collaboration. In light of these findings, the study recommends that the school assess the effectiveness of implemented measures and use the findings to make necessary adjustments, continuously improving the school’s waste management practices.
