Solid waste is increasingly a problem as the population and the economy grows. It is a major concern especially for poor countries that cannot afford the cost of clearing up the waste but also cannot afford to have a continuing environmental degradation resulting from solid waste disposal. Interviews of key informants and randomly selected households were done using structured questionnaires in the three selected municipalities of Misamis Occidental. The existing solid waste management programs in three sites were influenced by revenue, literacy rate, and the political will of the leader of the municipalities. The inadequacy of local revenue, lack of environmental awareness of the community, and lack of political will of the local executives were barriers to ecological solid waste management. Community based solid waste management program was proposed for these municipalities.
