Abstract

Janitorial services and works are one of the key units of an institution directly contributing to the institution’s vision towards a sustainable campus. Their knowledge on what they do and how they practice their work is very crucial in the waste management strategies presently implemented by the institution themselves. This study assessed the level of awareness of the High--Performance Maintenance (Hi--Per) personnel of Far Eastern University-- Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation on the different types of waste, policies and legal aspects regarding waste segregation. A descriptive-- evaluative research design was used in this study using a total of 62 Hi--Per personnel. The findings showed that most of the respondents possess a high level of awareness in terms of the different types of wastes as well as the policies and legal aspects of waste segregation. A significantly high correlation was obtained with respect to their awareness and waste segregation practices. The relevant issues and challenges in waste segregation is being addressed by the institution’s waste management schemes which is an indication of a waste management system being implemented efficiently in the university particularly by the janitorial services collaborated by all units and departments, reverberating good governance, wellness, materials recovery and conservation, which can be interpreted to efficient investment.
