The study utilized a quantitative survey design with a questionnaire instrument. Data was collected through the postal questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to examine the level of solid waste management is implementing in the schools. Results showed that most of the students are well aware of solid waste management. But the practices of solid waste management in real life are low when compared to the level of awareness.
