Urbanization has created tremendous challenges to cities and metropolitan areas. It has put pressure on the cities’ environment and on natural resources. Among these challenges is solid waste management, an issue that has beset every city and every country in the world, especially among the developing world and emerging economies. Improper solid waste management or inappropriate disposal of solid waste has posed a threat to the integrity of our surroundings as well as to the health of the people. Recently, the issue of improper solid waste management has been blamed for floods in Philippine cities due to clogging of drainage. Improper disposal of solid waste has also caused the pollution of surface water resources as well as pollution of the seas and oceans, which has affected not only our food resources but also the wildlife, especially the birds, the fish and the mammals in the oceans. Among the culprits is the plastic waste, which is slow to decompose. In the oceans, they are mistaken for food by birds and other organisms, creating negative impacts on these creatures. The increase in population coupled with unsustainable solid waste management practices threatens the health of the people, the wildlife, and the food security of our nation. This paper deals with the issues and concerns on solid waste management and the effects of improper solid waste management on the sustainability of cities, especially those in the Philippines. It aims to show the challenges faced by these cities in managing their solid waste, the role of the informal sector in solid waste management, and the strategies that Philippine cities can adopt to properly manage solid waste and ensure sustainability. It also aims to show the current situation of Philippine cities and the technologies available for proper treatment and disposal of solid waste. Key words: solid waste, solid waste management, informal waste sector, sustainable development

The enactment of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act prompted higher education institutions including state universities and colleges (SUCs) to incorporate ecological waste management in the school system. Thus, this paper aimed to assess the extent of implementation of solid waste management practices in select SUCs in CALABARZON in terms of waste reuse, waste reduction, waste collection, waste recycling, waste treatment, and final waste disposal. Respondents of the study included university administrators, faculty members, non-teaching staff, students and concessionaries for a total of 341. A survey questionnaire was used to gather data (SLSU). Result revealed that solid waste management practices are implemented to a great extent. Among the practices, waste collection got the highest composite mean particularly on the promotion of 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) in the collection of waste. On the other hand, waste recycling and waste treatment obtained the lowest composite mean. In terms of waste recycling, establishing partnership with local or private business for recyclable recovery program was to moderate extent. Waste treatment particularly neutralization of acid bases was also of moderate extent. The study recommended strengthening of public-private partnership (PPP) on the recycling and treatment of wastes.
