The Philippines’ National Solid Waste Management reported that kitchen/food and other organic wastes comprises 50% of the total solid waste generated. This is the rationale that this study was undertaken to include the waste generators. The central question which the study sought to understand is whether attitude and knowledge relates to each other on the subject of solid waste. A descriptive and correlational design was adopted in the solid waste management survey for the food concessionaries of the university. The study involved all food concessionaries within the university compound. A questionnaire survey composed of four parts was used as instrument. The main result of the study found that the Attitude variable is positively correlated with Knowledge variable (r = .418, p < .05) and it indicated that the relationship is significant. Perceptions on the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, and recycle) positively correlated with Attitude and all three factors are found to be significantly related with Attitude. As to the mediating variables, i.e., Ease of Use, Usefulness, Volunteerism, and Facilitating Conditions, they were found to be explanatory with Knowledge rather than Attitude (particularly with Ease of Use and Volunteerism). Other mediating factors showed weak relationship with either Attitude or Knowledge. The food concessionaries were found to possess a positive attitude on the 3Rs . With the assumption that the results of the study estimates that of the population, the research found a sound basis for predicting behavioral intent of the food concessionaires to practice solid waste management.
