THE CUSTOMER PERCEPTION ON WASTE MANAGEMENT OF THE STALLS AT THE MALOLOS FOOD COURT.

Solid and liquid wastes generated from the initial extraction of raw materials to the final consumption of products threaten the environment and the people. The absence of proper waste management poses hazards and risks on the health and life of the people, as well as, the preservation of the environment. Steps had been initiated by various governmental and nongovernmental organizations advocating environmental safeguards and proper waste management. From the minuscule step of assessing the small area of food stalls at the Malolos Food Court as to their waste management practices as perceived by their customers, the team of researchers aimed at assessing and creating awareness on public concern and safety on waste management and disposal. The study can be utilized in the formulation of municipal legislation that benefits the customers and the public in general.
